Lab-Grown Melee Diamonds / Business sourcing
Small princess, marquise, pear and baguette diamonds, sourced against the dimensions and orientation of your design.
Preferences are a brief, not a live inventory selection.
A product brief, not just a grade list
Fancy-shape lab-grown melee turns a small-stone order into a shape-specific production task. A marquise outline, a pear tip, a princess corner and a straight baguette each interact differently with their setting. An order described only as fancy melee does not establish which outline, dimensions or orientation the finished piece needs. Separate the brief into shape groups and state length, width, depth where relevant, quantity and the acceptance method for each group. Availability must be checked by shape and size; the presence of one small-cut product does not establish a complete assortment. This page is an entry for defining that request before individual groups are sourced and compared.
01 / Define the actual requirement
Separate the product description, sample values and information that must be confirmed for the actual selected goods.

| Illustrative size request | Marquise 2.00 × 1.00 mm (L × W); dimensions are a brief example |
| Outline and orientation | Supply a drawing, tip direction and required left/right layout |
| Cut style | Confirm brilliant, step or other cut appropriate to each outline |
| Quantity basis | Count and total weight recorded separately for each shape group |
| Dimensional acceptance | Agree L/W/depth limits and the inspection method by shape |
| Growth method | Confirm CVD or HPHT for the proposed goods |
| Documentation | Confirm the available laboratory report or batch documentation |
| Post-growth treatment | Confirm disclosed treatment information for the proposed goods |
| Order unit | Shape-specific parcel or counted design group |
| MOQ / price / lead time | Confirmed only in the quotation for the agreed specification |
| Growth method | Confirm CVD or HPHT for the proposed goods |
|---|---|
| Documentation | Confirm the available laboratory report or batch documentation |
| Post-growth treatment | Confirm disclosed treatment information for the proposed goods |

02 / Choose against the design
Use these product-specific checks to make your quotation request more precise.
A mixed drawing should become a stone list with separate rows for princess, marquise, pear or baguette requirements. This keeps dimensions and quantities attached to the correct outline and makes a supplier’s response easier to compare.
Pear points and marquise axes can define the rhythm of a ring or halo. A photograph of the proposed layout or a numbered drawing is more useful than a verbal instruction to make the stones match.
Matching length and width does not ensure identical corner treatment, shoulder shape or tip position. Decide which contour differences your setter can accept and request representative visual evidence before approving a shape-specific parcel.
Some small fancy shapes may require directed sourcing or cutting discussions. Confirm the available size range and replenishment route for every shape in the collection instead of assuming that one quoted group proves the full design is repeatable.
03 / Plan from the finished design
The finished setting or production workflow determines which measurements and matching decisions belong in the enquiry.
APPLICATION 1
Princess squares and straight baguettes can create different sections of a geometric band. Separate the two shape groups in the stone list, with their counts, dimensions and positions, so neighboring outlines are selected for the intended layout rather than an undefined assortment.
Brief This Application
APPLICATION 2
Directional accents should be reviewed on the drawing before the stones are set. Show each pear tip and marquise axis, identify the left/right placements and separate the quantities by shape. That layout helps assess contour differences that a simple millimeter envelope cannot describe.
Brief This ApplicationADDITIONAL DESIGN USE
A custom halo may combine several small outlines. Treat it as a bill of materials, identifying each location and the number required, rather than asking for a generic parcel of fancy diamonds.
Brief This Application04 / Your buying model
Translate the setting geometry into measurable shape groups before the first sample is approved.
Include in the RFQ: Send L/W/depth requirements, orientation and contour references for each group.
Keep shape consistency from the sample piece to later production without relying on broad gem names.
Include in the RFQ: Provide an approved outline reference, design count and repeat-order priorities.
Compare suppliers against an organized stone list and avoid counting or mixing errors across different cuts.
Include in the RFQ: Separate shape rows, packing requirements and acceptance rules in your BOM.
05 / Qualitative procurement scenarios
Use a specific business scenario to prepare an enquiry. These examples do not assert national preferences, market size or confirmed orders.
| Market | Buying scenario | RFQ focus |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Accent-led bands and custom retail programs | Shape-by-shape BOM, presentation samples and unit definition |
| United Kingdom | Bespoke motif and contour matching | CAD outline, tip orientation and setter acceptance |
| Australia | Small collection sampling | Sample group, approved contour and replenishment plan |
For a collection sold through US retail channels, the buying team may need separate groups for bands, halos and custom accents. Organize these as different production lines in the RFQ. That procurement structure is a planning recommendation, not a statement that a particular shape dominates the market.
A bespoke commission can depend on how small pears or marquises fit around a specific center. Include the design drawing and ask the workshop which contour details are critical. Confirm shape-specific availability before presenting the layout as an assured repeatable design.
For a small collection developed around geometric accents, a sample group can establish whether the proposed stones fit the drawing. Agree the approval process and retain the accepted outline. Later requests should distinguish a new design from replenishment of the existing specification.
06 / A practical comparison
Compare the properties that change the purchasing decision, then review the actual selected stones or parcel.
| Buying point | Fancy-shape melee | Round melee |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional language | Length, width, depth and contour by shape | Diameter range and relevant proportions |
| Orientation | Tips, axes and mirror placement may matter | Rotational outline is usually simpler |
| Setting review | Corners, shoulders and pointed ends | Round seat fit and diameter consistency |
| Parcel records | Keep every shape group separate | Keep diameter groups separate |
| Appropriate choice | When the design requires a specific outline | When round accents fit the design |
08 / Before you source
You can submit princess, marquise, pear, straight baguette or another clearly defined outline for review. Availability needs confirming for each shape and size. The candidates shown here form a sourcing brief, rather than an assurance that every outline is available in every small dimension.
For a fixed layout, count is often essential because each position needs a stone. Total carat weight remains useful for commercial records. State both when the design requires them, and keep the count and total weight separate for every shape group in a mixed order.
They are only part of the description. Corner treatment, tip shape, shoulders, depth and facet arrangement can also affect the result. Give the sourcing team a contour reference and explain which differences your setter can accept before approving stones for a close-fitting layout.
Send a stone list linked to the drawing, including position numbers, shape, dimensions and quantity. The proposed selection can then be checked against those requirements. Confirm whether each group is available and whether the actual layout needs revision before committing to production.
No single marketing grade should be assigned across every outline and report type. Use the actual information available for the proposed stones, identify the cutting style, and evaluate the contour and face-up appearance separately from any document fields.
Request separate groups by shape and size, with counts or weights tied to the approved BOM. Retain the reference layout and acceptance details with the order. Packing format and replenishment terms should be confirmed for the actual sourcing arrangement, rather than assumed from a sample image.
09 / Prepare the next conversation
Start with the fixed requirements and explain where the sourcing selection can vary.
Send L/W/depth requirements, orientation and contour references for each group.
