Kite-cut diamonds are unique elongated-cut diamonds that maximize the brilliance and light reflection of the stone. They have gained popularity for their contemporary appeal and versatility in jewelry designs. They can be set as center stones in engagement rings, pendants, or earrings, and can also serve as exquisite accent stones alongside other diamond cuts.
What are Kite Cut Diamonds?
A kite-cut diamond is a captivating and distinctive diamond shape that draws inspiration from the geometry of a kite. Featuring two elongated sides resembling the upper and lower sections of a kite, along with two shorter sides that complete the elegant outline, this unique cut exudes modern sophistication. With its unconventional yet mesmerizing form, the kite-cut diamond compliments Point No Point Studio’s unique designs, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a one-of-a-kind and contemporary gemstone option.
What are the benefits of Kite Cut Diamonds?
Deciding which cut of diamond is best, is truly in the eye of the beholder. While some cuts are known for brilliance, profile, or sparkle, the kite cut is loved for its angular edges and untraditional style. The benefits of this cut in particular include the illusion of size, unique appearance, and brilliant sparkle.
Illusion of Size
The elongated shape of kite-cut diamonds often gives the illusion of a larger diamond, making them an excellent option for those seeking a visually impressive gem without the higher price tag of a larger carat weight.
Unique and Eye-catching
Kite-cut diamonds stand out from traditional diamond shapes, catching the eye with their distinctive kite-like silhouette. Their asymmetrical design adds a touch of individuality and modernity to any jewelry piece.
Flashy Sparkle
The bold geometric lines and smooth sides of a kite-cut diamond are created through step-cut facets that descend the stone. Step-cut facets have larger, broader facets compared to the more intricate and smaller facets found in brilliant cuts like the round brilliant cut. This emphasizes a diamond’s clarity and creates a mirror-like effect, producing a play of light and dark areas.
