    don't solder near the points of the Trillion unless you have a
    delicate hand and insurance.I'd leave a Flush-Setting of any
    fancy-cut stone and find another solution..maybe soldering three
    little "claws/prongs" at the points..this way, you might be able to
    close up the gaps as well!!! when you do intend to push over the
    prongs...please make sure the gold is WELL TEMPERED and not hard as
    Titanium..:)...
