Single Round Melee
This collection offers individual white round lab-grown melee diamonds for wholesale allocation, ranging from 0.70mm to 1.65mm (0.0018 ct to 0.018 ct). Stones are supplied in clarity grades from VVS to SI, allowing buyers to select specifications based on application requirements. It is designed for retailers, jewellery manufacturers, and trade buyers requiring precise quantities for custom designs, repair work, stone matching, or flexible project planning. LabGems operates as an Antwerp-based wholesale supplier with direct access to CVD and HPHT production networks.
Operational Advantages for Trade Buyers
Single melee allocation eliminates the need to purchase full parcels when smaller quantities are required. Buyers can source exact stone counts for bespoke commissions, pave settings, halo designs, or jewellery repairs without excess inventory. This approach is particularly effective for matching existing stones in restoration work or fulfilling specific custom orders where parcel quantities would create waste. For alternative design requirements, LabGems also supplies fancy shaped diamonds and coloured lab-grown diamonds. Availability is maintained through coordinated production scheduling, with in-stock orders dispatched within one business day of payment confirmation. Trade buyers benefit from procurement flexibility and reduced capital tied to unsold melee stock.
Quality Standards and Trade Evaluation
Individual melee stones are supplied according to LabGems quality standards, assessed using standard grading parameters: cut, colour, clarity (VVS to SI), and carat weight. While singles are not individually certified, each stone is evaluated to ensure consistency across allocations. This allows trade buyers to plan product specifications, manage pricing structures based on clarity grade, and maintain quality control within their supply chains. For buyers requiring certification, certified lab-grown diamonds and 1ct melee parcels are available with third-party grading documentation. The clarity range supports both high-end pavé work requiring VVS-VS stones and commercial jewellery production using SI grades for cost-effective allocation.
Designed for Efficient Procurement and Margin Control
Single stone purchasing improves cash flow by aligning procurement with confirmed demand rather than speculative volume. Buyers avoid holding excess inventory, reduce waste from unsold stock, and can rotate melee allocation based on project timelines. This structure supports tighter margin planning for repair workshops, bespoke jewellers, and manufacturers managing fluctuating order volumes. Volume-based pricing remains available for recurring or larger single-stone orders.

The only difference is their origin: mined diamonds form underground over millions of years, while lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled laboratory environment over a few weeks or months by replicating nature's process (usually using the CVD or HPHT method).
Lab-grown diamonds are graded using the same internationally accepted standard as mined diamonds: the 4Cs (Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat). Reputable third-party gemological institutes, such as the IGI (International Gemological Institute), certify our stones, providing an unbiased assessment of their quality. LabGems provides these certification reports with your purchase.
