Kissing Diamonds

lala0306 Rough Rock Total Posts: 40 Last Post: 5/15/2009 Member Since: 2/27/2008	I searched for posts on this topic and didn't find any, have a general question, does setting a small diamond culet to culet under the center stone do anything for the center stone or is it just purely a design issue? Here is information re kissing diamonds for anyone who is interested, I'd never heard of the design and happened across a saleswoman in Key West who said the setting itself gives the center stone more "sparkle" How would that work? http://www.kissingdiamonds.com/ Thanks!

It seems almost kind of a waste, because you can't see the top of the bottom diamond. I don't know how I feel about this . Actually, I may be alone here but it kind of bothers me a little bit and I don't really know why. I would also like to add that the website claims two diamonds are of "perfect compatibility and symmetry". I don't understand how something can be symmetric if one of the bottom diamond is smaller than the top.

It wouldn't add anything at all to a well cut RB. Marketing at its worst....... ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

I know that a couple of years ago they were selling a ring like that. I forget what it was called. Not sure if they will be able to help you but it might be worth of shot. * Too much of a good thing can be wonderful * ~ Mae West September 6, 2009

At first I thought it was sort of cool looking, but I thought it was a waste of carat weight. She always was complaining about wanting a bigger diamond yet there was a diamond that was being wasted in her own ring.
