The Trillion Cut Diamond Company, which has been in business for over 75 years, has created a diamond that features the verses of the Ten Commandments. Trillion Diamond Company are the inventors and patent holders of the original trillion cut diamond (now called Trielle®).
The Ten Commandments Diamond® is a single diamond that is hand cut and polished to look like the authentic Ten Commandment tablets. The verses of the Commandments are carefully laser inscribed into the table facet. The brilliant faceting applied to the diamond allows the verses to resonate through the stone. The Ten Commandment Diamond® comes in three different versions: Catholic, Protestant and Jewish.

The parting waves of the Red Sea, which are made from blue sapphires, make up the front of the tablets. In the middle of the parting waves is the golden path to freedom, done in golden yellow sapphires. The broach is made with 18k white and green gold.
