Engagement ring diamonds
A halo surrounds the center diamond with smaller stones, which adds outline and can make a 1 carat center look closer to 1.5.
The center still sets the color. A warm J next to bright halo melee looks more yellow. Pick the center a grade brighter than you might in a solitaire, or match the melee to the center.
Carat Mate sells the certified loose diamond, not the mounting. People who want a solitaire, halo, or another style buy the center stone here and take it to a jeweler for the setting. The listing you open is the stone you receive, with its lab report.
Carat Mate lists certified loose diamonds for shoppers in the United States, Canada, the UAE, London, and Australia. Prices are in USD everywhere. We ship to the United States, Canada, the UAE, London, and Australia.
