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! |

Ok since this thread is in rocky talky as well as SMTR I will just paste my earlier post: I'm not an expert but I just want to say, that concept is WEIRD! 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.

Weird, and I agree, a waste. It's not going to do anything for either diamond.

I thought it was weird as well, why spend $ on an extra stone that basically faces the back of your finger? The saleslady was so excited about it and I just didn't get it...Thanks

Hmm, it's weird but kind of cool. I actually really like the bezel set ring with an open side view so you can see the smaller diamond. I didn't read any of their marketing stuff, though, just looked at the products.

Heeehee! I nearly posted on this a few weeks back, when I saw some of these rings in Beaverbrooks, in England. I thought they were quite funky... but the extra, upside down diamond, is really quite pointless other than to be unusual, or something of a talking point. Cool idea, but I figured it was just another way to get you to buy overpriced, second rate jewellery (IMHO)! :) x x x

Geez, they spelt it "CUTLET" in part of their site - dags! I also agree it'd be a bit pointless - not a fan of the sappy advertising either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing." Kahlil Gibran |

There's no way it would add anything to the sparkle of the main diamond...the physics just don't work out. My friend has a sapphire set like that under her diamond. It is beautiful, but certainly doesn't add anything! Marketing if you ask me...

That reminds me of this style that was around a couple years ago where a colored stone (I think usually a sapphire) was set under the diamond. Not culet to culet, though. I'm guessing they weren't very popular since it took a LOT of google searches to turn up the style and brand name, Reflexions. ![]() *** |
