Wholesale Melee Diamond Supply for Manufacturers and Jewellers
Calibrated small diamonds for pave, halos, channel settings, and accent work. Lab grown and natural melee in consistent parcels, graded for colour and clarity uniformity. Built for production-scale consistency.
Precision Melee Sourcing for Production
Consistency Is Everything
One mismatched stone ruins a pave setting. Our melee parcels are graded for uniform colour, clarity, and calibration across every stone in the lot.
Production-Scale Supply
Whether you set 50 stones a week or 5,000, our supply chain scales without quality variance. Scheduled replenishment matched to your production velocity.
Cost Efficiency
Non-certified parcels eliminate per-stone certification overhead. You get graded, calibrated diamonds at parcel pricing, not individual stone pricing.
Lab Grown and Natural Melee
Lab Grown Melee
CVD and HPHT small diamonds for high-volume production. Consistent colour and make at significantly lower per-carat cost than natural melee. Ideal for fashion jewellery lines, silver collections, and price-sensitive retail.
Natural Melee
Ethically sourced natural melee for fine jewellery, bridal, and luxury lines where natural origin matters. Full Kimberley Process compliance. Higher per-carat cost justified by the end product's positioning and customer expectation.
Custom Calibration
Need exact diameter specifications for your setting jigs? We supply melee calibrated to 0.01mm tolerance. Specify your exact size requirements (e.g. 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.7mm, 2.0mm) and we match to your production specs.
