Melee specifications
How to read our ranges.
Every product on the platform is one size range combined with one quality range. All stones are round brilliants with an excellent cut, sorted for uniformity and symmetry.
Size: calibrated goods
From 0.60 mm (≈ 0.001 ct) to 4.25 mm (≈ 0.29 ct), in steps of 0.05 mm. Each range holds stones within those 0.05 mm, so every stone in a pavé or halo sits at the same height. You order by carat or by number of stones.
- 0.60 mm ≈ 0.001 ct
- 1.00 mm ≈ 0.005 ct
- 1.30 mm ≈ 0.01 ct
- 1.80 mm ≈ 0.025 ct
- 2.00 mm ≈ 0.03 ct
- 2.50 mm ≈ 0.06 ct
- 3.00 mm ≈ 0.10 ct
- 3.50 mm ≈ 0.16 ct
- 4.25 mm ≈ 0.29 ct
