The Rapaport Reality
The wholesale diamond market is incredibly opaque, driven by the Rapaport Price List. However, actual trading on B2B exchanges often happens at massive discounts to "Rap" depending on oversupply of specific shapes or clarities. Finding a dealer running a flash sale to reduce their inventory is key.
Navigating the Exchanges
Checking RapNet manually for thousands of stones is tedious and inefficient.
- Specific Grades: Track the discount specifically on 2-carat, Round, VS1, F-color stones.
- Certificate Filtering: Ensure the alert only triggers for GIA-certified stones, ignoring less strict laboratories.
