Hong Kong Buyers: Sourcing 10 CT+ and Fancy-Colour Lab-Grown Diamonds
A sourcing guide for Hong Kong dealers, manufacturers, and exporters buying lab-grown diamonds at 10 ct and above and in fancy colours. It covers what to look for in big stones, matched pairs, and calibrated parcels; the reports and paperwork to expect; shipping and who handles customs; and a reusable specification table so your second order matches the first.
The short version: Hong Kong dealers who buy big and coloured lab-grown stones need three things settled before price: a graded report for every stone, video of the exact stone, and a repeatable specification so the second order matches the first. Liora Diamond supplies lab-grown stones to Hong Kong trade buyers on that basis, with insured courier delivery and paperwork that states every stone is laboratory-grown. This guide sets out what to ask for at 10 ct and above, and in fancy colours.
Key takeaways
- Hong Kong is a hub for onward trade. Liora's Hong Kong page says it works with Hong Kong businesses that resell, set, or manufacture, and that trade-fair stock can be prepared around the buyer's dates.
- Check import rules before you order. Liora's Hong Kong page advises checking import rules with your customs broker, and the shipping policy puts duties and customs fees on the importer of record.
- At 10 ct+, Liora's big-stone range leans pink. It includes IGI-graded pink-family stones from 10 ct up to 30.09 ct, plus a 15.09 ct Fancy Vivid Green Pear. Stock moves, so always request the current list.
- Fancy colour is where parcels matter. Liora's fancy-colour page says melee is sorted by hue and intensity, and parcels are calibrated with tolerances agreed up front, with a photo of the whole parcel before shipping.
- Quote speed is stated, not assumed. Liora's Hong Kong page says inquiries get a reply within one business day, with quotes usually in the same time, in US dollars, against a pro-forma invoice. For localized payments, we also accept it; contact our team for complete information.
Quick answer
- Who supplies big lab-grown diamonds to Hong Kong dealers? Liora Diamond supplies trade buyers in Hong Kong with certified CVD and HPHT stones, 10 ct and above included, graded by recognised labs, delivered by insured courier with documentation declaring laboratory-grown origin.
- What should a Hong Kong dealer ask for first? Ask for the report number, photos, and a 360° video of the exact stone before paying, then verify the number on the lab's own website and match measurements.
- Can fancy-colour lab-grown diamonds be bought as matched parcels? Yes. Liora says melee is sorted by hue and intensity, parcels are calibrated by size with tolerances agreed up front, and a parcel photo is sent before shipping.
What Do Hong Kong Dealers Source at 10 CT and Above?
Most Hong Kong trade demand is not for single showpiece stones. It is for stones that can be resold or set quickly in Mainland China, Southeast Asia and the Gulf, and that match a spec the next customer will ask for again. That favours three groups.
1. Single statement stones
Liora's Big Diamonds page lists stones from 3 ct upward, with IGI reports as standard and GIA available on request. Its stones at 10 ct and larger include 10.05 ct hearts in several pink grades, a 13.06 ct Fancy Intense Pink heart, a 15.09 ct Fancy Vivid Green pear, and 25.02 ct and 30.09 ct pink stones. Prices are quoted on request through WhatsApp. Ask the desk to confirm the specific stone and size you need.
2. Matched pairs
Liora's page says pairs are matched for colour, clarity, measurements, and make, starting at 2 ct each, with larger pairs sourced to order. For Hong Kong jewelers making earrings or high-jewelry sets, ask for both reports and a side-by-side video in the same light.
3. Calibrated and fancy parcels
For setters and manufacturers in Hung Hom and across the region, parcels with an agreed size tolerance matter more than any one stone. Our guide to the lab-grown diamond supplier for jewelry manufacturers covers what to look for in a supplier.
For the size ladder, see our 5 carat, 10 carat and 20 carat guides. A step-up to the very largest sizes will need its own sourcing conversation.
Which Fancy Colours Suit Regional Demand?
Liora's fancy colour lab-grown diamonds available in pink, yellow, blue and green are available in most shapes and sizes, while purple, orange, red, brown and black come in smaller quantities or to order. At 10 ct and above, pink dominates Liora's range.
Two points matter for a dealer reselling onward:
- Read the colour grade in full. "Fancy Intense Pink" and "Fancy Vivid Pink" are different grades and different prices. Our fancy colour lab-grown diamond supplier guide and the large pink lab-grown diamonds guide explain the difference. For a wider view, see white vs fancy colour lab-grown diamonds and the pink lab-grown diamond wholesale guide.
- Check the treatment note. Liora's fancy-colour page says lab-grown colours are commonly produced or intensified after growth, and the grading report records it, with the invoice stating it. Your onward customer may ask, so keep the report with the stone.
Colour on a screen is not colour in the hand. Screen colour varies, so ask for a daylight video.
What Reports and Documentation Should You Expect?
Liora's Hong Kong lab-grown diamond supplier page says paperwork declares laboratory-grown origin on every stone, that grading reports and 360° video are provided for each shortlisted stone before purchase, and lists GIA, IGI, HRD Antwerp and SGL. Take the report number, look it up on the lab's website, and compare grade, measurements, and comments with the video. Our why diamond certification matters article explains why, and the IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds guide covers buying against IGI reports. Check the report before you pay, not after delivery.
Two practical notes for Hong Kong re-exporters. First, state "laboratory-grown" on every onward invoice; the stone's paperwork already does. Second, keep a file per stone: report, video, invoice, courier document. It makes your next sale and any dispute much easier.
How Does Shipping to Hong Kong Work?
Liora Diamond is committed to trust and transparency at every stage, so an insured valuables courier with complete documentation is delivered to the buyer's door in Hong Kong. Stock is described as shipping within a few business days after payment, with a few business days in transit; exact dates are confirmed with the invoice. First orders are prepaid by bank transfer against a pro-forma invoice. Ask for the carrier name and insured value in writing.
On duties, Liora's shipping policy says import duties, VAT, GST, and customs fees are paid by the importer of record, normally the buyer. Liora's Hong Kong page states its information is not legal or tax advice and tells buyers to check with a customs broker. Compare how other hubs work in our Dubai and U.S. sourcing guides.
How Do You Build a Repeatable Specification?
Diamond dealers who re-export in wholesale need to buy the same thing twice. Write the specification once and reuse it. Our RFQ template for big lab-grown diamonds gives the full form; the Hong Kong version is shorter:
| Field | Example of what to write |
|---|---|
| Shape and fallback | Pear; oval acceptable |
| Carat band | 10.00–12.00 ct |
| Colour | Fancy Intense Pink or better; no brownish modifier |
| Clarity floor | VS2 |
| Report | IGI; GIA only if required |
| Quantity and pairing | 3 stones; one matched pair |
| Evidence | Report numbers, daylight 360° video, girdle close-up |
| Delivery | Insured courier to Hong Kong address; invoice wording "laboratory-grown" |
Send it with your target budget range and onward market. A tight spec gets a faster, more accurate quote than "what pink do you have?".

Frequently asked questions
1. Do you ship lab-grown diamonds to Hong Kong with original reports?
Liora's Hong Kong lab-grown diamond page says every shortlisted stone comes with a grading report and 360° video before purchase, and that delivery is by insured courier with complete documentation. Big stones are described as supplied with an IGI report as standard and GIA on request. Original paper or digital copies should be agreed in the order. Ask for report numbers on the pro-forma invoice so they travel with the stone. Before paying, look the number up on the lab's website and compare carat, measurements and comments.
2. Can you supply matched fancy-colour parcels?
Liora says small stones are sorted by hue and intensity so a halo, pavé band or eternity ring reads as one colour, and parcels are calibrated by size with tolerances agreed up front. A photo of the whole parcel is sent before shipping. For pairs, Liora's Big Diamonds page says matching covers colour, clarity, measurements and make, from 2 ct each. Write the tolerance and the colour range on the invoice, and ask for a daylight video because screen colour varies.
3. How quickly can you quote?
Liora's Hong Kong diamond page says enquiries get a reply within one business day and quotes usually arrive in the same time, in US dollars. Speed depends on how complete your enquiry is. Send shape, carat band, colour, clarity floor, quantity, report preference, and onward market in one message. Prices on big stones are quoted on request through WhatsApp. Treat the reply time as a stated service level and confirm it for urgent trade-fair deadlines.
4. Who pays import duty on lab-grown diamonds shipped to Hong Kong?
Liora's shipping policy says import duties, VAT, GST, and customs fees are paid by the importer of record, normally the buyer. Liora's Hong Kong wholesale diamond page says its information is not legal or tax advice and advises checking import rules with your customs broker. Agree on who acts as importer of record before the first order, and check any onward destination's rules if you re-export.
5. What is the minimum order for Hong Kong trade buyers?
Liora's Hong Kong page states trade orders of US$2,000 or more only, and says it does not take single-item enquiries under US$2,000 or serve consumers. Ask the trade desk how the minimum applies to your order. First orders are prepaid by bank transfer against a pro-forma invoice. Treat minimums as the site's current statement and confirm on the day you enquire.
