Melee is a term used to describe small diamonds or gemstones. It is derived from the French word meaning “mixture” and is typically used to refer to a collection of small stones or diamonds, as opposed to a single large stone. Melee stones are usually between 0.8 and 2.0 mm in size and are often used as accent stones in jewelry pieces. They can also be used as a filler to add extra sparkle and shine to a design. Because of their small size, melee diamonds tend to be less expensive than larger stones.
