Loose Diamonds in Lebanon

Buying a certified diamond in Lebanon: how it works

Every stone in the search above is a natural diamond held physically in Beirut, listed with its real price and graded by GIA or HRD. Here is how to choose one well, check it and bring it home.

Choosing shape, carat and grades

Start with the shape, because it sets the look: a round brilliant gives the most sparkle, while an oval or another fancy shape looks larger for its weight and usually costs less per carat. Then settle the weight. Our 1 carat, 1.5 carat and 2 carat pages show what each size looks like on the hand, and a stone just under a round weight looks the same for less.

Spend on cut first, since it decides how brightly the stone returns light. Colour comes next: G or H usually faces up white in white gold or platinum. Clarity matters least once the stone is eye-clean, which many VS2 and SI1 diamonds are. For a sense of budget, our diamond prices page shows today’s range for each weight and shape, drawn from the stock above.

Checking the report and the video

Every diamond here carries a GIA or HRD grading report, never an in-house certificate. Open the laboratory’s website yourself, enter the report number and confirm that the weight, measurements, grades and the line stating the diamond is natural all match the listing; our guide on how to verify a GIA or HRD certificate online shows each step. Then ask for the 360° video on WhatsApp. It shows what paper cannot: how brightly the stone performs, whether any inclusion is visible and, in an oval or pear, how strong the bow-tie is.

Reserving, collecting and delivery

When you have found the one, reserve it with a deposit, which takes it off the market in your name; the balance is paid when the diamond is handed over. Delivery is free and insured within Greater Beirut, typically in 24 to 48 hours. Buyers elsewhere in Lebanon or abroad collect by appointment in Beirut, and that appointment is only for paying and collecting. A loose diamond can be returned within 7 days if it is unset, unworn and undamaged, with its certificate and packaging.

Setting it in a ring

If the diamond is for an engagement ring, build your ring around it or browse our engagement rings in Lebanon. Each setting is made to order in Beirut in about a week to ten days, or your diamond can be set into a ready-made mounting in 24 to 48 hours when time is short.

When the stone you want is not in stock

If the shape, weight or grades you have in mind are not listed, we search the international diamond pipeline for a certified natural stone to your specification, typically within 2 to 3 weeks. Send the details and your budget on WhatsApp to start the search.

Common questions about buying loose diamonds

What is a loose diamond?

A loose diamond is a stone sold on its own, before it is set in a ring or any other piece of jewellery. Buying loose lets you study its certificate and 360° video, compare it with others and choose exactly the stone you want, then have a setting made around it. Every loose diamond at diamonds.com.lb is natural and GIA or HRD certified.

Are your diamonds natural or lab-grown?

Natural only: diamonds.com.lb does not sell lab-grown diamonds. Every stone is a natural diamond graded by GIA or HRD, and the laboratory’s online report check states whether a stone is natural, so you can confirm it yourself. Our honest comparison of lab-grown and natural diamonds explains how the two differ.

Can I buy a loose diamond now and choose the setting later?

Yes. A loose diamond is sold on its own, so you can buy it now and choose a setting when you are ready; the ring is then made to order around your stone in about a week to ten days. Keep in mind that the 7-day return window applies only to a diamond that is still unset, unworn and undamaged.

How are your diamond prices set?

Each diamond is priced against the Rapaport list, the trade’s benchmark for its shape, carat weight, colour and clarity. Every stone’s page shows the list price, our price and the difference between them, and the search above shows the real price of every diamond in stock. Our page on how we price explains the method.

Do you deliver loose diamonds outside Beirut?

Free insured delivery covers Greater Beirut only, typically in 24 to 48 hours for an in-stock diamond. We do not ship elsewhere in Lebanon or abroad: buyers there choose and reserve remotely with a deposit, then pay and collect by appointment in Beirut. The delivery and collection page sets out the timings.

Can I see a loose diamond before I pay for it?

You judge the stone first on its 360° video and certificate, both sent on WhatsApp, and check the report number yourself. As diamonds.com.lb is an online house, you see the diamond itself when you pay the balance, at a collection appointment in Beirut or on delivery within Greater Beirut. An unset, unworn stone can still be returned within 7 days with its certificate and packaging.
