LabGems holds IGI-certified fancy shaped lab-grown diamonds in active Antwerp inventory, including oval, cushion, pear, emerald, radiant, princess, marquise, heart and asscher cuts.

Yes. LabGems supplies both certified and non-certified fancy shaped lab-grown diamonds. Non-certified stones come from the same Antwerp cutting partners at roughly 20% lower cost at equivalent 4Cs, and suit buyers who assess quality by inspection rather than requiring IGI documentation. The non-certified fancy shape collection covers the same shapes as certified inventory.
A €500 combined minimum applies across all LabGems certified diamond purchases. Certified fancy shapes can be combined with other shapes and grades from active inventory to meet this threshold.

Certified fancy shape lab-grown diamonds encompass all non-round geometric cuts within the certified inventory — oval, cushion, emerald, radiant, pear, marquise, princess, asscher, and heart cuts. Fancy shapes allow trade buyers to offer distinctive aesthetic character, tailored length-to-width ratios, and superior visual footprint per carat compared to standard round brilliants. Every stone in this collection includes full third-party certification detailing complete 4Cs grading, proportions, and lab-grown origin verification. LabGems holds certified fancy shapes in active Antwerp inventory for direct allocation.
Certified Provenance and Grading Standards
All certified fancy shape inventory is accompanied by official documentation from recognized gemological laboratories, primarily IGI (International Gemological Institute). Reports confirm exact carat weight, colour, clarity, polish, symmetry, and detailed facet proportions. Each diamond is laser-inscribed on the girdle with its report number for supply chain traceability. Sourced through verified CVD and HPHT production networks, these stones give trade buyers the documentation required for high-value bridal sales, client presentation, and luxury manufacturing compliance.
Selecting Fancy Shapes by Optical Performance
Fancy shapes divide into two primary faceting categories: brilliant cuts (oval, pear, marquise, radiant, cushion, princess, heart) which maximize sparkle and tolerate broader clarity ranges, and step cuts (emerald, asscher) which prioritize geometric clarity and broad mirror flashes. Retailers building well-rounded inventory should stock both categories. Elongated shapes like oval and pear perform strongly in contemporary bridal designs, while square shapes like princess and cushion serve classic solitaire and halo configurations.
In-Stock Availability and Wholesale Terms
Active Antwerp inventory typically spans 0.30ct through 5.00ct+ across all popular fancy outlines.

Selection Notes for Fancy Shapes
- Match faceting style to design intent: brilliant cuts for scintillation, step cuts for classical clarity
- Evaluate length-to-width ratio to ensure desired silhouette (elongated vs symmetrical)
- Verify polish and symmetry (Very Good or Excellent) for balanced facet reflection
- Utilise non-certified options for production settings where documentation is unnecessary
- Combine multiple shapes in single orders to satisfy the €500 minimum purchase requirement
