What Are Loose & Melee Diamonds?
Unlock the hidden value sitting in your drawer
Melee refers to small brilliant-cut diamonds typically under 0.20 carats — the accent stones in pavé settings, halo designs, and intricate jewelry. Loose diamonds are any unmounted stones of any size.
Individually small, a parcel of melee can add up quickly. A full carat of G/SI round brilliant melee can be worth $300–$600+. Larger loose stones are worth significantly more. We sort, grade, and pay based on actual quality.
