Black market

[spacejamangel]

has anyone purchased any diamonds from the trusted website from the black market? Asking for a friend.

Since you are asking for "a friend," I assume you want to know where you can get illegitimate diamonds. I can't imagine anyone here is eager to aid and abet you in that regard & posts about illegal activity are against PriceScope forum policy.

Assuming this is a honest question and mindful of @MollyMalone statements, the problem with buying from anyone that is not a jeweler or reputable seller is you have not idea of what you are buying. With the proliferation of diamond stimulants and colorless stones...you could spend a lot of money on CZ or moissanite. If your "friend" was experienced enough to tell diamonds from stimulant, gold from gold plated, etc....they would not need help on this. Aside from the legal risk from buying in this matter (receiving stolen goods is the common outcome), you can lose a lot of money. Folks that sell in that market are not big on "satisfaction guaranteed" or "return policies." Caveat Emptor.

Buying black market diamonds is asking for a quick trip to club fed.
Buy from the wrong person and it can be a Patriot act violation in the US and similar in other countries.

I don’t understand what this means, stolen diamonds?

Not certain what the OP is thinking of, but I've seen "black market" used as shorthand for rough without the requisite Kimberley Diamonds Certification Process documentation:

It would seem to me that the words trusted and black market create an oxymoron and do not belong in the same sentence.

We're being trolled,,,,, usually I dont feed the trolls but a club fed warning to anyone thinking about this......
With all the heat on rough there are likely some bad people that moved on to polished.
Know your source even when buying on the second hand market. Listen to the story and if it sounds off dont buy.
