About Loose Lab Diamonds & Moissanite Stone
The beauty of a loose stone is that you have the freedom to decide on the piece of jewelry you want to wear it on, the size, and the shape. With this collection of loose stones, you can compare lab grown diamonds and moissanite stones, and decide which setting you prefer.
Start by Choosing the Stone Material
lab grown diamonds and moissanite are two completely different stones. A similar shape does not make the two materials interchangeable, so check the stone type in each listing before comparing size, color, or price.
The moissanite selection includes champagne, gray, aqua blue, blue green, and other color options. These shades offer another starting point when you want the center stone to introduce color into the finished design.
Compare products within your preferred material first. This makes it easier to understand what each option offers without treating every loose stone as a diamond.
Shape and Facet Pattern Are Separate Choices
Shape describes the stone’s outline, while the cutting style describes how its facets are arranged. Both influence its appearance. Elongated outlines can suit a design with more length, while broader shapes create a different footprint within the setting.
Facet patterns deserve their own comparison. Brilliant style cuts use arrangements intended to produce sparkle, while emerald and Asscher cuts typically feature stepped facets. The collection also includes crushed ice oval moissanite, giving shoppers another facet appearance to consider. Review photographs or videos rather than choosing by shape name alone.
Compare Measurements Alongside Carat Size
Carat weight does not tell you the stone’s complete dimensions. Check its length, width, and depth in millimeters, where available, to understand its size and whether it will fit the planned setting.
For elongated stones, the length to width ratio helps distinguish a narrower outline from a broader one. Two stones with the same shape name can therefore look noticeably different.
If you already have a mounting, confirm its requirements before ordering. For earrings or a multistone design, compare the stones together for compatible dimensions, color, and appearance.
Check the Report for the Diamond You Select
Certification can vary between individual diamonds in the collection. Depending on the stone, laboratory reports may be provided by recognized grading laboratories such as GIA or IGI. Check the report for the specific diamond you select rather than assuming that every stone carries the same certification.
Before placing your order, review the available certification details and make sure the report corresponds to your chosen diamond. If a physical certificate is not included by default, confirm how the report will be provided before completing your purchase.
Plan the Jewelry Around the Stone
With the basic information like the stone’s proportions and material decided, the general design of the jewelry can be made. Consider how much of the diamond’s outline you would like to show and if any additional stones would complement the center stone.
Confirm the final measurements of the diamond before the setting is made, so the design can be made to fit precisely. It is also advisable to review the purchase terms of the listing, especially the payment and shipping terms, before placing the order.
