princess setting question

[trillionaire]

Is there a name for the setting where a princess cut stone is set on the diagonal? More like a the traditional image of a diamond, or like a kite?

For example, the corners would face North, South, East and West, rather than NE, SE, SW and SW, like a typical princess setting.

Is there a name for this? And does anyone know anyone who does this type of setting?

It's called kite-set. Any jeweler can do it.

Oh! Thank you, thank you! I have only seen a very few, but never a name! Yay! I am obsessed with Trilions (as per my PS screen name), but a kite set princess is the only other setting that I really like. I love the uniqueness, I have never seen anyone with either, in person

Jstar - that ring is gorgeous!

diamondrnglover - I had seen your avatar before, but didn''t remember the associated name! Yay for kite-sets! Lucky you!

Some people also call it starset I believe. By the way...your diamond will look larger set this way!!!

and who doesn''t love that!?!

Trillions also face up larger than comparable rounds, so either way, I should look like I got more bang for my buck!
