This is a surprisingly shallow, ridiculously well-performing trillion. The design has a small bit of pavilion waste due to the meetpoint establishment of the girdle and the overriding P4 facets, which works great if you have inclusions near where your pavilion would be. I prefer this slightly darker almandine garnets, but it looks great in EVERYTHING, regardless of RI, and can be cut from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes.
