Have a client with a few missing tiny (1.5mm) octahedron diamonds and have really struggling to source them. Has anyone any suggestions where I could find them?

Thanks!

Try AE ward & Sons. if they are not listed they will probably get them for you.

That said with stones so small the difference in cut to the naked eye will not be apparent. So talk to the client and see weather they will accept a round faceted substitute Dennis.

It's the Hong Kong gem show in three weeks so if a decent supplier doesn't have what you want they should be able to source it there. I'd volunteer but my knowledge of diamonds is limited to 'goes into diamond hall...thinks...many diamonds..leaves hall' The hall in question is the size of a large aircraft hanger and all the diamonds are out in rows and rows of display

I didn't think Wards sold diamonds?

I have some gorgeous teal ones from them, so I'd say they do!

Oh, they don't seem to be listed? am I being dim?
I love teal diamonds, they are my favourite stone!

I think you need to talk to them directly.

there's also an etsy supplier that seem to be quite popular - might be able to help
