Largest Selection of Loose Diamonds In The World

Frequently Asked Questions

Loose diamonds are unmounted stones not yet set in jewelry. They give you more flexibility in choosing a custom setting.

DiamondHedge is one of the top platforms to buy loose diamonds online, offering verified stones from multiple retailers for easy comparison.

Make sure the diamond has a grading certificate from a reputable lab (GIA, IGI, AGS). DiamondHedge allows you to compare certified options only.

Yes, you can often find exclusive loose diamond sales or discounts online—especially through multi-vendor platforms like DiamondHedge.

Absolutely. Buying a loose diamond lets you customize your ring setting exactly the way you want.

Both are real diamonds with identical physical and chemical properties. Lab-grown diamonds typically cost substantially less than natural diamonds of the same size and quality, so they let you get a larger or higher-quality stone for your budget. Natural diamonds are rarer and tend to hold value better over time. DiamondHedge lets you search and compare both side by side.

Round brilliants are the most popular but also the most expensive per carat, because more of the rough diamond is lost when cutting them. Fancy shapes like oval, cushion, pear, and emerald often cost noticeably less per carat than a round of equal weight — and elongated shapes can look larger face-up for the same carat weight.

Buy "eye-clean" — no inclusions visible without magnification. VS2 and higher grades are almost always eye-clean, and a well-chosen SI1 can be eye-clean too while costing less. Grades like VVS and FL look identical to the naked eye, so you only pay more for peace of mind, not visible beauty.

D to F grades are colorless; G to J are near-colorless and look white to most observers, especially once set in a ring. Choosing a G or H color instead of D or E can save significant money with no visible difference in everyday viewing.

These are independent gemological laboratories that grade a diamond's cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. A certificate from one of these labs verifies you are getting the quality you are paying for. DiamondHedge only lists certified diamonds.

Shop just below the popular "magic sizes." A 0.90-carat diamond can cost notably less than a 1.00-carat stone of the same quality, with a size difference that is barely visible. The same pricing jump happens at 1.50, 2.00, and 3.00 carats.

DiamondHedge Ideal represents roughly the top 1% of diamond quality based on cut. Cut determines how well a diamond reflects light — it is the biggest factor in a diamond's sparkle, more than carat, color, or clarity.

Compare stones with the same shape, carat weight, cut, color, clarity, and certification lab — then compare the total price including shipping and taxes. That is exactly what DiamondHedge's comparison is built for: identical specs side by side, so any price difference you see is real.

DiamondHedge is a comparison marketplace — your purchase completes on the retailer's own site, so shipping speed, insurance, and return terms are set by that retailer and vary between them. Always check the return window and terms before you buy.

Yes. Use DiamondHedge's augmented-reality try-on: photograph the back of your hand and virtually try on diamond rings in different shapes, sizes, and settings before you commit to a loose stone.
