The Rapaport Diamond Report™ is the international trade price list for polished diamonds. It
lists prices that are 'traded off' (usually at discounts) based on their
shape, size range, color and clarity.
Some consumers and retailers
compare diamond prices with those listed in the Report but large
variations in cut grades are not part of the report.
PriceScope presents this Price Report with average
and lowest per-carat prices taken from all the (+250,000) stones listed
here. This is real time information for your benefit.
In the Price
Report we use the AGA Cut Grading system developed by D. S. Atlas and his
lab Accredited Gem Appraisers
(AGA). This system has been adopted by the National Association of
Jewelry Appraisers. Round Hearts and Arrows diamonds are separated into
separate cut category. Details of the AGA cut grading system can be found
on AGA site, www.gemappraisers.com/oldcutgraderules.asp,
or in our tutorial.
