Calibration Precision: The Cornerstone of Our Service
The term “calibrated” is paramount when discussing melee diamonds. It refers to the precise sizing of the diamonds, ensuring uniformity in diameter. This is crucial for setting purposes, allowing jewelers to create seamless and professional-looking designs. Alcalá is committed to providing diamonds that are meticulously calibrated to 1.9mm, with minimal size variations.
Our calibration process involves:

Stringent Quality Control: Our experienced quality control team meticulously inspects each parcel to verify the accuracy of the calibration. We employ visual inspection techniques and precision measuring tools to identify and remove any diamonds that fall outside the specified size range.

Specific Applications for 1.9mm Melee Diamonds:
The 1.9mm size is a popular choice for a wide range of jewelry applications, including:
Pave Settings: This is perhaps the most common use for 1.9mm melee diamonds. They are ideal for creating a dense, shimmering surface of diamonds, often used on rings, pendants, and earrings. The small size allows for intricate designs and maximum brilliance.
Channel Settings: 1.9mm diamonds can be effectively used in channel settings, where they are set in a row between two metal walls. This creates a clean and modern look, often used on wedding bands and bracelets.
Halo Settings: Surrounding a larger center stone with a halo of 1.9mm diamonds is a popular way to enhance its size and sparkle. The melee diamonds create a dazzling frame that draws attention to the center stone.
Accents and Embellishments: 1.9mm diamonds are perfect for adding subtle accents and embellishments to jewelry designs. They can be used to create intricate patterns, highlight specific features, or simply add a touch of sparkle.
Watch Bezels: 1.9mm diamonds are frequently used to decorate the bezels of watches, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication. The small size allows for precise and intricate setting.
Micro-Pave Settings: Although more challenging to execute, 1.9mm diamonds can be used in micro-pave settings, creating an even denser and more shimmering surface. This technique is often used in high-end jewelry designs.
Enamel Jewelry: 1.9mm diamonds can be incorporated into enamel jewelry designs, adding a contrasting sparkle and texture to the colorful enamel.
Eternity Bands: The 1.9mm size is perfectly suited for eternity bands, where diamonds are set all the way around the ring. The calibrated size ensures a seamless and comfortable fit.
Initials and Monograms: 1.9mm diamonds can be used to create delicate initials and monograms on pendants and other jewelry pieces.
Vintage-Inspired Designs: The 1.9mm size is often used in vintage-inspired jewelry designs, replicating the look of antique diamond settings.
Technical Considerations:
Stone Height: When selecting 1.9mm melee diamonds, it’s important to consider the stone height, which is the distance from the table to the culet. The stone height should be appropriate for the setting style to ensure that the diamonds are securely set and do not protrude excessively.
Girdle Thickness: The girdle thickness is the narrow band around the circumference of the diamond. A girdle that is too thin can be susceptible to chipping, while a girdle that is too thick can detract from the diamond’s brilliance. We offer diamonds with ideal girdle thicknesses for optimal performance.
Culet Size: The culet is the small facet at the bottom of the diamond. Ideally, the culet should be pointed or very small. A large culet can allow light to escape from the bottom of the diamond, reducing its brilliance. We ensure that our melee diamonds have minimal culet sizes.
Table Percentage: The table percentage is the ratio of the table diameter to the overall diamond diameter. An ideal table percentage allows for maximum light return and brilliance. We offer diamonds with table percentages that are optimized for light performance.
Pavilion Depth: The pavilion depth is the distance from the girdle to the culet. An ideal pavilion depth allows for maximum light reflection within the diamond. We offer diamonds with pavilion depths that are optimized for light performance.
Maintaining the Brilliance of Melee Diamonds:
To ensure that your melee diamonds continue to sparkle for years to come, it’s important to clean them regularly. Here are a few tips:
Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild soap and water to gently clean the diamonds.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine, as they can damage the diamonds.
Professional Cleaning: For stubborn dirt or grime, consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned.
Proper Storage: Store your jewelry in a soft pouch or jewelry box to protect it from scratches and damage.
