No the "diamonds" is a variation of the "parallel wave"
These come from the middle of a blank used to make this pen.
I did make a change.
The pattern repeat 8 times instead of six because the gent pen is quite a bit larger diameter, and I used a grouping of 3 pieces of brass rather than two.

The kit is the least expensive aspect of the pen when you add your time in.
Personally I don't go in for the $40.00 kits like the emporers because they look like a cast off from the Dollar store and most of the time the fittings of the kit compete with the material in the barrel.
Look at it this way.
A Titanium gold pen may cost twice as much as an upgrade or 14 K gold pen.
lets say 15.00 versus 10.00
I can easily absorb the $10.00 into the sale of the pen.
BTW don't let your inlayed pens go cheap.Most resort to lasers and CNC which require no skill at all on the pen turners part and the "art" that which makes the pen special is done by someone else.
INlying is a skill and you should be compensated for your time.Don't sell yourself short.
It's a little of both.
In the beginning it was as you describe,"i wonder what would happen if....?"
After a while with failures and success you build upon different thisgs that have worked.
for example,
Istrated with something like this:
and then went to this
The pattern is the same it just gets repeated.The trick is doing it accurately.
The blank and gold pen acouple of entries above is the impetus of "Eagles Feathers" both are made the same way
