Wholesale, Lab-Grown
Wholesale Cadillac Cut Diamonds
Natural and lab-grown are two separate lines here, never mixed on one certificate or one price list.
Wide at one end, tapering to a narrower flat edge at the other, with angled sides in between. The Cadillac is a six-sided step cut that behaves like a shield and a trapezoid at the same time. Set two of them against a center stone and the ring reads deco without any other decoration.
This is a setter's shape and a designer's shape, not a bridal counter shape. It shows up in custom three stone work, in period restoration, and in pieces where a plain trapezoid would look too ordinary. Because it is bought to fit something, the order almost always comes in as a measurement rather than a weight.
We hold over 160 Cadillac cuts, all lab-grown. That is a large position for a shape that most dealers order in only when someone asks, and it is what makes same-week matching realistic instead of a six-week wait for a cutting order.
Buying Cadillac Diamonds Wholesale
Order to the center stone. The wide edge of a Cadillac sits against the center and its length has to match the center's width at the mounting point. Depth has to let the tables finish level. Give us both numbers and the mounting style, and we will pull candidates rather than have you guess from carat weight.
This is a step cut, so clarity behaves like a step cut. Open parallel facets show inclusions plainly, and side stones sit close enough to a center stone that a client will notice a visible crystal. Read the plot, not just the grade, and keep side stones a touch cleaner than you think you need.
Check the two angled sides for symmetry. They should mirror each other exactly, because a Cadillac that is off by a degree looks crooked once it is flanking a symmetrical center. This is easier to see in a face-up image than in any measurement on the report.
The Cadillac shelf is lab-grown throughout and IGI graded almost without exception. Buy in pairs where the design calls for two, since a matched pair arrives already agreed on edge length, depth, and color, and hand matching two step cuts is slow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cadillac cut diamond?
A Cadillac cut is a six-sided step cut that is wide at one end and tapers to a narrower flat edge at the other, with angled sides between. It is used mainly as a side stone flanking a center diamond, and it shows up frequently in art deco and custom designer work.
What is the difference between a Cadillac and a shield cut?
A Cadillac tapers from a wide edge to a narrower parallel edge, while a shield comes to a point or a much tighter base. Cadillacs sit flatter against a shank as a result. The two are often confused in listings, so check the outline in the image rather than trusting a shape name alone.
Do you sell Cadillac cuts in matched pairs?
Yes, and pairs are the normal way this shape sells. Every matched pair we stock is lab-grown and already agreed on measurement, depth, color, and clarity. Send us the center stone's dimensions and we will match a pair to it before it ships.
