The “diamonds business” is an industry that can often be insidious and contradictory and that only someone with expert knowledge can manage successfully.
That is why we provide professional and specialised advice in order to help and guide our customers on the purchase of diamonds, taking into account the motivations prompting them to make the purchase and the intended use of the gem, the singular quality of the stone, historical-predictive trends and, lastly, updates from the worldwide market.
The approach to the industry must therefore entail a certain level of awareness and knowledge to avoid situations that could easily mislead those who find themselves dealing with the diamond market for the first time.
We will provide you with the opportunity to obtain the best solution when faced with a variety of technical, commercial, and financial variables, working with transparency and clarity in order to put you in a position to make an informed purchase.
Firstly, get your ideas straight. Why would you like to buy some diamonds?
For example, if the answer is tied to the idea of making an investment, the purchase should be tailored to the individual risk profile and timeframe, which will be one of the elements that we will take into consideration, along with historical estimates and trends.
Ours is a privileged sales channel in which expertise and care during the selection phase guarantees the buyer the opportunity of a tailored investment, from small to large amounts of money and therefore suited to everyone’s pocket.
The Rapaport price list provides weekly values in US dollars, providing the cost bands for GIA certified diamonds with perfect cut (ex ex ex), D-to-M colour-grading and P3 IF clarity.
Let’s cut to the chase and get our ideas straight.
The Rapaport, access to which is restricted to operators in the diamond market, is of no use to private buyers for the following reasons:
As mentioned above, it does not list the prices of every stone, but only up to the colour M. Basing a quotation on the Rapaport could misleadingly bring to the conclusion that if a stone is not listed on the Rapaport it is worthless. Nothing could be further from the truth! There are about 16,000 types/qualities of diamonds on the worldwide market, the vast majority of which, despite not appearing in the RAPAPORT, have significant value.
Therefore, in practice, it is the meeting of wholesale supply and demand that guides the real market, not the Rapaport. The Rapaport is undoubtedly a good starting point, but unless you know the industry, it is likely to become an end unto itself and a useless pointer.
Our quotations are based on the study and analysis of demand and supply and all the technical characteristics of the stone that lie outside the 4Cs.
What distinguishes us is that we are present at the leading international diamond bourses (Antwerp, Tel Aviv, New York, Dubai and Mumbai), which allows us to keep up-to-date on worldwide market prices and trends.
We take care of the entire process, from the very first consultation through to post-purchase, as if it were an actual project, and you will be able to rely on professionals who will be available to advise you over time.
