Your Ultimate Guide to Buying Loose Diamonds in NZ
If you’re searching for loose diamonds in NZ, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re creating a custom engagement ring, planning a special gift, or investing in a stunning stone, choosing the right diamond is a big decision.
At Aroha Diamonds, we make the process simple, transparent, and exciting—with both lab-grown and natural diamonds available, tailored to your exact preferences.
Let’s walk you through everything you need to know before buying loose diamonds in New Zealand.
What Are Loose Diamonds?
Loose diamonds are individual, unmounted stones—not yet set into a ring, pendant, or other jewellery. This gives you complete freedom to:
Choose your own setting
Customise every detail of your jewellery
Compare different stones side by side
Focus on diamond quality without the distraction of the setting
Loose diamonds are ideal for people who want personalised, one-of-a-kind jewellery—especially for engagements or meaningful milestones.

Lab-Grown vs. Natural Loose Diamonds – What’s Right for You?
Both are beautiful, but the choice depends on your values, budget, and vision.
| Feature | Lab-Grown Diamonds | Natural Diamonds |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Created in a lab using advanced tech | Mined from the earth |
| Cost | More affordable | Typically more expensive |
| Environmental impact | Lower | Higher |
| Quality at Aroha | D colour, VVS1 clarity | Top-tier, on request |
