Kissing Diamonds

[lala0306]

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?

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.

It wouldn''t add anything at all to a well cut RB.
Marketing at its worst.......

Ya know, I recognize it''s all marketing, and a waste of a perfectly good diamond, but I still think it looks kind of cool.... not that I would ever buy it or anything...

Try Fred Meyer Jewelers if you are interested. 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.

I used to work with a girl and she had an engagement ring with "kissing" diamonds. 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.
