Where emerald-cut melee is used
- Side stones — a matched pair beside an emerald, radiant or oval centre — 4×2 and 4×3 mm are the common choices.
- Geometric and Art Deco layouts — step facets line up into clean horizontal bands.
- Linear rows — end-to-end in a channel, where the clipped corners protect each other.
- Three-stone rings — flanking a larger step-cut centre.
Setting notes
A step cut hides nothing: the open table shows colour and clarity directly, which is why these are D colour / VVS only. The clipped corners are sturdier than a princess corner, so ordinary claw prongs at the corners are enough; keep the table facets parallel across a row, because a step cut that is rotated even slightly shows against its neighbours. For pairs, order both stones in one order and note "matched pair"; they are sorted together from the same lot.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy just one or two emerald-cut moissanite melee stones?
Yes. Caratura sells emerald-cut melee individually — the minimum is one stone — at $6 to $10 per stone depending on size, with no wholesale minimum. Shipping is $20 flat worldwide, free over $100, with duties prepaid.
What sizes of emerald-cut moissanite melee are available and what do they cost?
5 calibrated sizes: 3×2 mm ($6), 4×2 mm ($7), 4×2.5 mm ($8), 4×3 mm ($9), 5×3 mm ($10) per stone, in D colour / VVS clarity, calibrated to ±0.1 mm. Other sizes are cut to order in about 7 days.
Will two emerald-cut stones ordered together match as a pair?
Stones in one order are supplied from one matched lot and hand-inspected for size, colour and cut consistency before dispatch. Note 'matched pair' in the order comments and the two stones are sorted together; if any stone is outside ±0.1 mm, report it within 14 days for a free replacement or refund.
How long does it take to receive emerald-cut melee from Caratura?
