Engagement ring diamonds
A solitaire uses one center diamond and little metal around it. The stone has to be good, because nothing else is on display.
Spend on cut and on a clean face-up photo. Rounds and ovals are the usual solitaire centers. A halo can wait; a solitaire cannot hide a dark bow-tie or a poor cut.
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.
