Because each piece is so individual, we start with a private consultation to find the right stone for you.
Read moreA well-cut 6 carat lab-grown round cut diamond typically measures between 11.7mm and 11.8mm across, though this can vary slightly. This width, seen when viewed from above, changes depending on how the weight sits within the stone, some carrying more depth below the surface, others sitting shallower and looking wider. So two 6 carat diamonds can appear different in size despite weighing the same. Our Hatton Garden experts always look at these measurements alongside the cut grade, since a wider diamond is only the better choice when the cut itself is genuinely well proportioned.
A 6 carat lab-grown round cut diamond calls for a setting of real precision. We favour platinum over gold at this weight, its strength offering lasting security without an overly heavy mount. Six or eight claw settings, sometimes reinforced with a hidden gallery beneath the stone, are among our most recommended choices. Prong height, gallery depth and shank thickness are all considered around the exact proportions of your chosen 6 carat lab-grown round cut diamond, never adapted from a standard design.
Many proportionally balanced 6 carat lab grown round cut diamonds measure around 11.7–11.8mm across, but individual stones should always be checked separately.
These measurements reveal how the stone carries its weight. Two 6ct lab grown round cut diamonds can have noticeably different visible spreads despite similar carat figures.
The report provides essential measurements and grades, but available imagery can add useful context about inclusion visibility and the appearance of the individual stone.
It can. A larger diameter and deeper profile can influence how high the centre stone sits, so setting height should be considered alongside security and overall ring proportions.
Platinum is generally preferred at this scale for its strength and durability, offering better long term security for a large centre stone than gold, particularly in claw settings carrying significant weight.
We recommend speaking with a specialist jewellery insurer given the value involved. We provide a full valuation certificate with every purchase to support this process.
Yes, this is exactly what the consultation process is for. We discuss your priorities and either source from available stock or arrange sourcing to match your specification as closely as possible.
Full IGI or GIA certification is standard, documenting cut, colour, clarity, carat, and additional measurements including symmetry, polish and fluorescence. We are happy to talk you through every detail.
Care is the same as for any fine diamond. Avoid harsh chemicals, remove the ring during manual work, and have the setting checked annually to ensure the claws remain secure, particularly given the weight involved.
Yes, though given the individual sourcing process at this weight, we would recommend booking a consultation first so we can prepare relevant stones for you to view.
