Kissing Diamond Engagement Rings

Kissing Diamond Rings and Secret Diamond Engagement Rings

Kissing diamond engagement rings feature two diamonds with one inverted stone. Owing to the discreet position of the second diamond, we sometimes describe such rings as secret diamond engagement rings.

However, some jewellers set a small diamond into the band of an engagement ring. For this reason, there are other styles described by jewellers as secret diamond engagement rings.

To clarify, not all secret diamond engagement rings feature kissing diamonds. Buyers should take note of the difference.

Kissing diamonds – culet to culet 

Two diamonds appear to kiss at the culet. Most diamonds feature a polished culet—in layman’s terms, the end tip or point of a diamond. Culet’s were once polished, most visible on antique or Old-Cut diamonds.

However, designs tend to feature a microscopic gap. A small space prevents either diamond chipping but offers the illusion of touching diamonds.

Through our bespoke ring design service, we create different kissing diamond rings. Moreover, we make all kissing rings individually to order.

Kissing diamonds give the appearance of two diamonds touching. Typically we use a smaller inverted diamond matching the thickness of a ring setting.

CAD design for engagement rings

We kissing diamond engagement rings with the help of advanced CAD design. The precision of CAD technology enables a diamond setting with two diamonds almost touching and perfectly aligned.

From an initial brief from our client, we create 3D visuals to help them to visualise the finished ring design. The visuals appear similar to the finished ring and give a good idea of the size and proportions of the finished piece.

One of our past kissing diamond engagement rings took inspiration from Trilogy engagement ring styles. We set two smaller diamonds either side of two inverted diamonds. As a result, the ring achieved an entirely unique appearance, handcrafted in 950 Platinum.

Many of our conceptual rings are created initially by computer with realistic images. Designs evolve with a 3D mesh. They are later rendered to give an idea of the final ring design.
