Triangular Brilliant (Trillion, Trilliant) Estimation (11.21)
When measuring a triangular diamond, the width is the narrowest side (point to point), and the length is measured from the narrowest side to the opposite point. Width: 6.96 mm
Depth: 4.04 mm
Girdle: Very Thick
Shape: NA
Formula would read:
7.89 x 6.96 x 4.04 x .0057 x 1.045 (GTA) = 1.322 Rounded to 1.32 ct.

With time and experience weight estimations will measuring a triangular diamond, the width is the narrowest side (point to point), and the length is measured from the narrowest side to the opposite point.
Triangular Brilliant Formula: Length x Width x Depth x .0057 x GTA x Shape Adjustment
Example #1
Length: 6.32 mm
Width: 6.02 mm
Depth: 2.52 mm
Girdle: Thick
Shape: NA
Formula would read:
6.32 x 6.02 x 2.52 x .0057 x 1.03 (GTA) = 0.5629 Rounded to 0.56 ct.
