peek a boo di·a·mond | ˈpē-kə-ˌbü dī-(ə-)mənd
noun
A secretive, hidden diamond that is only visible from a unique angle
Peek-a-boo diamonds are also often known as surprise diamonds and are any diamond that is hidden from direct sight on the ring. They are designed to sit flush with the ring so that they cannot be seen directly and may not be noticeable at all unless someone specifically points it out. A peekaboo diamond is an elegant way to add additional class to a piece without making the ring appear overly flashy or ostentatious. They can also add additional brilliance to the piece by creating another angle from which it will sparkle, even if the diamond itself is not immediately visible in such a situation.
