Trapezoid melee sizes and per-stone prices

Need a trapezoid above 3.5×5×6.5 mm, or a size between these steps? It is cut to order in about 7 days — message Leilei with the millimetre spec.

Trapezoid or tapered baguette?

The 18 sizes above are two shapes in one listing. Eight are trapezoids in the strict sense — wider than they are long, a wedge that sits beside an emerald, radiant or cushion centre: 3×5×2.5, 3×4×3, 3×4×5, 3×4.5×5, 3×5×4, 4×7×4, 3.1×5.3×5.4 and 3.8×5.8×4.2 mm. The other ten are tapered baguettes — long and narrow, one end narrower than the other, the usual pair beside a round or oval centre: 1.5×2.5×3.5, 2×3×4, 2×3×4.5, 1.5×2.5×5, 3.5×2.5×5, 2×3×5, 3×4×6, 1.7×2.5×6.5, 3.5×5×6.5 and 1.8×3×7.5 mm. Those ten have their own page with lengths, tapers and estimated weights: tapered baguette moissanite melee. Straight baguettes (both long sides parallel) are a separate listing: baguette melee.

Where trapezoid melee is used

• Three-stone rings — the standard matched pair beside an emerald, radiant, cushion or oval centre.
• Stepped shoulders — graduated trapezoids follow the taper of a band.
• Bridging stones — between a centre and a shoulder where a rectangle would leave a gap.
• Geometric layouts — trapezoids tile into fans and arcs.

Setting notes

A trapezoid is usually set as a pair, one each side of a centre stone, and the pair only works when both stones have the same angle — which is why sizes are listed in three dimensions. Tell Leilei the centre stone's dimensions and the pair is angle-matched to it. Claw prongs at the four corners or a bezel both work; keep the long base parallel to the centre stone's girdle.
