About GIA Certified Loose Diamonds
A GIA certified loose diamond gives a custom jewelry project an individual stone to consider before the setting is chosen. This collection brings together lab grown diamonds in a smaller selection of familiar and distinctive shapes, allowing the choice to begin with the diamond itself rather than a finished ring or setting.
Use the Report as a Reference
A GIA grading report records details about the individual diamond and provides a clear reference when comparing different stones. This can be helpful when looking at diamonds with the same basic shape but different proportions or grading details.
Four Ways to Define the Center
The available shapes offer different starting points for jewelry design. Round has a balanced outline, while Asscher has a square shape with clipped corners. Pear has a pointed end and a curved outline, while cushion combines a longer shape with softer corners.
Proportion Matters Within Each Shape
Two diamonds with the same shape can still look different. The relationship between length and width can make a longer stone look narrower or wider, while the size of a round or Asscher diamond affects how much space it takes up in a setting. These measurements are useful to check along with the overall jewelry design.
Match the Setting to the Stone
The diamond you choose can affect the design of the finished piece. A round center stone can work well in a simple solitaire, while an Asscher diamond can suit a setting that follows its square shape. Pear and cushion diamonds can also become the main feature when their shape and size are given enough space within the setting.
A More Focused Starting Point
With fewer shapes to choose from, this collection can suit someone who already has a clear idea of the diamond shape they prefer. Once the shape and individual diamond have been considered, the stone's size and the type of jewelry you want to create can help guide the remaining setting choices.
