Loose Diamonds

From Lab Grown Diamonds to Mined Diamonds

A Curated Approach to Extraordinary Stones

Most retailers show you what they happen to have in their inventory. At Diamond Rooms, we act as your personal scouts. Because we operate out of private suites in Austin and Dallas, we maintain a global network of diamond cutters and wholesalers.

We filter through thousands of stones to present you with a hand-selected “shortlist” that meets your specific criteria for brilliance, proportions, and value. You get better quality because we’ve already done the vetting for you.

We believe in complete transparency. Whether you are looking for the billions-of-years-old legacy of a Natural Diamond or the modern innovation and value of a Lab-Grown Diamond, we provide the education you need to choose with confidence.

How We Prioritize Our Diamond Selection

Under Cut Determines Beauty

Diamonds are often purchased by carat weight, not by beauty. Here, we prioritize proportions for an ideal cut to maximize brilliance in every stone.

No Dull, Lifeless Diamonds

With our revolving door of loose mined and lab grown diamonds, our clients enjoy a live selection unlike any other they’ve experienced.

We Do Diamonds Differently

We hand-pick every diamond we show our private clients. We want to make sure you enjoy the beauty of your diamond with your own eyes.

Don’t get overwhelmed by online databases. Tell our GIA-trained experts what you’re looking for, and we will pull a selection of stones for you to view privately in our Austin or Dallas offices.

Loose Diamonds FAQs

Are loose diamonds a good investment?

Anything can be a good investment if bought and sold and the right times, however we do not recommended diamonds for investments in most cases. For those that are interested in discussing the potential of investing in diamonds, while we are NOT financial advisors, we would be happy to help make recommendations based on current diamond market prices and supply. The best piece of advice I can give to those who want to try to invest in diamonds, is to buy what is marketable, which does not typically mean the highest quality. Most investment diamonds are recommended to be valued over $100,000.

What has more value gold or diamonds?

Which taste better, an apple or an orange? Is a sunset or sunrise prettier? Gold and diamonds cannot be compared when it comes to value. Some may say gold has higher value because it has been considered a very good investments for centuries. So if you “value” the longevity of gold being a good investment, then gold is the answer. If value is determined by weight, however, think about which would be more valuable, 1 ounce of gold, or the equivalent weight in diamonds….over 155cts!?

How much do loose (mined) diamonds cost?

As diamonds get bigger and higher in quality, the more rare and expensive they get. Here is a very basic guide for how much loose mined diamonds should cost

Should I buy a diamond online or in a store?

As a diamond expert of over 20 years, I have many opinions on this common question. The biggest issue with buying a diamond online is not being able to see the diamond you are buying in person. If you buy with your eyes, you will never lose; you are guaranteed to love the diamond you choose, and you have had the opportunity to compare it side-by-side to others.
