1ct Lab-Grown Melee Diamond Parcel
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A LabGems 1ct melee parcel is a matched lot of white round lab-grown melee diamonds totalling 1.00 carat, calibrated from 1.0mm to 1.8mm. Stones are pre-sorted for size, colour grade (D to H) and clarity (VVS to SI), so workshops set directly without sorting. Each lot holds roughly 50 to 200 uniform stones depending on calibrated size.
In-stock 1ct melee parcels from LabGems dispatch within 1 business day once payment is verified. Custom calibrated specifications outside active stock ship within 7-10 business days. FedEx delivery across Europe takes 1 to 3 days after dispatch, giving a typical total of 2 to 4 days for in-stock parcels.
Individual melee stones in LabGems 1ct parcels are not certified, since per-stone IGI grading is not commercially viable at melee sizes. Each parcel is quality-controlled to LabGems standards and matched for colour and clarity. For certified individual stones, LabGems supplies IGI-certified diamonds across its certified collections.
LabGems 1ct melee parcels are matched for pave, micro-pave, halo, channel and eternity band production, where uniform stones speed continuous setting. These parcels are suited to halo and pavé work around a centre stone. A €500 minimum order value applies across all purchases.
Yes. LabGems holds calibrated melee in coordinated production runs, so manufacturers can order several 1ct parcels in identical size, colour and clarity to maintain consistency across batches or seasonal cycles. Volume-based pricing is available for larger recurring orders. Contact the LabGems sales team for tiered wholesale rates.
This collection offers matched parcels of white round lab-grown melee diamonds, with each lot containing uniform stones totalling 1.00 carat. Parcels are available in calibrated sizes ranging from 1.0mm to 1.8mm, with stones matched for size consistency, colour grade (D-H), and clarity (VVS to SI). This eliminates sorting and individual selection, allowing manufacturers to proceed directly to setting. It is designed for jewellery production workshops, retailers managing repeat designs, and manufacturers requiring consistent melee for pave, halo, and channel settings. LabGems operates as an Antwerp-based wholesale supplier with direct CVD and HPHT production networks.
Operational Advantages for Trade Buyers
Purchasing melee in 1ct parcels reduces per-stone acquisition costs and handling time compared to single round melee purchased individually. Each parcel contains between 50 and 200 uniform stones depending on calibrated size, pre-matched to eliminate workshop sorting and quality checking. This structure supports efficient batch production, allowing setters to work continuously without interruption for stone selection. Manufacturers can order multiple parcels in the same specification to maintain consistency across production runs or seasonal inventory cycles. Dispatch occurs within one business day for in-stock parcels, supporting time-sensitive manufacturing schedules and reducing lead time dependency.
Certification and Grading for Trade Evaluation
Each parcel is accompanied by certification from recognised gemological laboratories, including IGI (International Gemological Institute), documenting total carat weight, average colour grade, clarity range, and cut quality. While individual stones within parcels are not separately certified, all melee is assessed using the standard 4Cs before parcel assembly to ensure uniform quality. This allows trade buyers to verify specifications, establish transparent pricing structures, and maintain documentation for supply chain compliance. Buyers can select clarity grades based on application requirements—VVS-VS parcels for high-end pave work where stones are visible, or SI grades for commercial production where cost efficiency is prioritised without compromising visual appearance in clustered settings.
Designed for Efficient Production and Margin Planning
Parcel purchasing accelerates stock rotation by reducing the time between procurement and setting. Trade buyers avoid capital tied to unsorted inventory and reduce labour costs associated with stone matching. The standardised 1ct weight simplifies budgeting, allowing manufacturers to calculate material costs per project with precision. This approach is particularly effective for workshops managing multiple concurrent orders, retailers maintaining stock for signature designs, or brands requiring consistent melee specifications across product lines. Volume orders benefit from tiered pricing structures. Buyers requiring alternative shapes for mixed-stone designs can coordinate orders with fancy shaped diamonds or add accent colour using coloured lab-grown diamonds.
