If you set pavé, halos, tennis lines or eternity bands, you buy melee by the hundred, and every diamond in a row has to match its neighbor. Guru Diam sells wholesale melee diamonds to setters, jewelers and manufacturers from New York and Los Angeles, in lab-grown and natural, with no minimum order.
What pavé and eternity work needs from melee
A pavé band only looks even if the diamonds sit at the same height and show the same color. We match melee to within 0.05 to 0.10 mm, so a row of beads or a shared-prong line reads as one surface. Our lab-grown melee is CVD Type IIa, graded E to F in color and VVS2 to VS1 in clarity, which keeps a long eternity line from drifting warm at one end.
Size is quoted in millimeters and in sieve sizes. If your CAD calls for 1.3 mm or a +6.5 sieve, our diamond size chart converts mm to carat weight so you can price the total weight before you order. The calibrated melee guide for pavé, tennis and eternity work covers tolerances by setting style.
Wholesale melee diamond sizes and grades we stock
Round lab-grown melee runs from under 1 mm through 3 mm and up, sold in parcels by size. Natural melee is available too, graded and screened separately. Browse wholesale lab-grown melee, round melee and pointers or natural melee. If a size you need isn't on the list, we source diamonds that aren't in stock to your specification.
Melee diamond prices per carat
The smallest melee costs the most per carat, because cutting and sorting a 1 mm diamond takes about as much work as a 2 mm one. Our Lab-Grown Diamond Price Index shows current trade ranges by mm band, and the melee diamond price guide explains how parcel pricing works. If a design can take 2 mm accents instead of 1.2 mm, the per-carat cost of the job can drop by about half.
