Kite
The Kite Shape diamond is a fancy shape which resembles a kite, or the sectional profile of a diamond viewed from the side. It is mostly used as side stones inside the shank of a fancy ring or as side stones to a center round or rectangular. One of the oldest of the "fancy" or unusual shapes is the kite shape, sometimes called a diamond shape because it resembles the side view of a diamond.
The proportion of the profile is usually too deep for an ideal modern brilliant cut, and the shape resembles the profile of a very old cut of diamond.
