Do you like the shape of the triangle? Do you think which number 3 is perfect? Do you want a different shape of jewelry? Here are the triangles, which give a shock to the habits.
Some like the triangle. No, not that of love: After a timid appearance in 2012, is back as a protagonist in 2014-15 catwalks and gives shape to rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. So, even in fashion the geometric figure, which in many religions represents unity and is the alchemical symbol of the past present and future, it seems to be a trend here to stay. Saint Laurent has fit into earrings combining it with another season’s must have, the fringes, Isabel Marant has made from it a bandana to put on the neck. Actually, in jewelry is a form as old as the jewelry itself and not for nothing each year there are always some designers who propose it again. In colored plastic or unsual material it ever seems new.
The Trilliant (or trillion) cut
Jewelry with a triangular shape usually uses Trilliant cut gems, especially diamonds. It is a triangular type of cut, with three equal sides and 31 or 50 facets, if the diamonds are used as solitaires or additional stones. For solitaires is used a curved or convex cut, while for other uses the gems with Trilliant cut stones, are cut not curved or concave. There are also triangular cuts with rounded corners and step cuts. Diamonds with this shape are often used as side stones to complement a solitaire in engagement rings.
It’s good wearing triangular jewelry?
The choice of a triangular-shaped jewel denotes the desire to go against the grain, to be original. Pay attention, however, to the combination with the dress, which must be consistent with the style of the jewel: a sporty outfit is better, even better with a dark or post-punk touch. The triangular jewel must also be considered in relation to the physical conformation of the wearer. Triangular earrings, for example, can be redundant on those with a heart-shaped face. A triangular pendant can instead draw the eye to the neckline. Finally: those who wear a triangular-shaped jewel must be careful not to get the corners caught in the fabric of the dress, and must try to avoid stinging someone in the event of kisses and hugs. Or he may do it on purpose, of course.
Triangular-shaped jewels, or with gems cut on three sides, can also be appreciated for the symbolic meanings that are connected with this geometric figure. The number 3 is considered special in many religions and has been at the center of the history of philosophy. Just remember Hegel’s thesis-antithesis-synthesis triad. It should be noted that when we talk about a triangle in symbolism, a figure with three equal, equilateral sides is almost always depicted. Three phases of human existence are considered: birth, life, death. Or: past, present and future.
In the Christian religion the number three is also linked to the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit): God is often depicted as a triangle. In many ancient cultures, such as the Greek or Norse, the triangle was associated with the concept of fertility or with the brotherhood and honor of slain warriors. More simply, however, the triangle is also the symbol of shared love, not of a couple. But giving a jewel with a triangular gem does not allude to a choice of this type.
