Kite set engagement rings are unusual, contemporary and stylish. These rings feature geometric stones cut in a kite shape. Most feature shorter tops that taper into longer points, taking the shape of a kite. Some have a diamond shape, with even tops and bottoms. Similar to marquise cuts, these cuts are flattering on all hands, elongating your fingers subtly. They can be used in a wide variety of designs, working especially well in minimal, feminine ring styles. Whether used as your centre stone or as side stones alongside more traditional cuts such as round solitaire diamonds, these engagement rings are a great choice if you are looking for something a little bit different from the norm.

Sapphire Halo

Sapphires and diamonds are a timeless pairing that will never go out of style. Set on cool metals such as platinum or white gold, the combination is even more classic. For a modern twist on a timeless style, this ring features a deep blue kite sapphire that is surrounded by tiny pave diamonds. The halo continues along the band, adding plenty of sparkle and accentuating the centre stone. You could switch things around and use a diamond for your centre stone, with sapphires used for the halo.
Three Stone

Romantic and symbolic, three-stone rings are another style that will never lose their appeal. Also known as trilogy or trinity rings, each stone represents a stage in your journey as a couple – your past, present and future. The centre stone represents your future. In most trinity rings, this stone is larger than the side stones. This ring has a round solitaire diamond, with smaller kite diamonds on each side. A yellow-gold band adds warmth to the design.
Rose Halo

Symmetrical kite shapes are another way to bring geometric elements to your ring design. This ring gives a modern touch to the classic rose gold halo ring. Rather than a round, cushion or princess stone, a kite diamond lies in the centre, surrounded by a halo of small diamonds that continue along the band. This style will work well in any other metal. If you love feminine styles, rose gold will always be a winner. You could also use morganite for the centre stone for an added rosy glow.
Moss Agate

Moss agate is a stone that is growing in popularity. With its fascinating detail that brings to mind dark, woody forests, each stone is unique. In this design, an agate kite stone takes centre stage. A pave-encrusted diamond double band includes a chevron band. Cool metals work best with moss agate as they allow the beautiful colours and intricate detail in the stone to stand out.
Double Band

Double band rings are stylish, modern and perfect for those who prefer bolder ring designs. In this ring, a delicate yellow-gold double band holds a diagonally positioned kite stone. Classic white diamonds can be used, or yellow diamonds. You could also choose precious gems such as ruby, sapphire or emerald or go for a less conventional stone. This type of ring works well in any metal.
