The brilliant kite diamond is usually used for side stones.
Because of its long shape, the brilliant kite diamond is also used down the shank of rings.
A unique use of kite shaped diamonds uses 5 kite shaped diamonds set in a star design, invisible set in the center and held with single prongs on each of the “star’s” points. The use of five smaller stones is a much less expensive than the high diamond waste required to cut a single stone star shaped diamond. These kite shaped stars can be used for earrings or pendants.
