Relocating a GIA certified diamond?

[Girl505]

In the summer, I found a diamond I loved but given the timing I ultimately passed on it. Months later, I’m still thinking about it and am wondering if there is a way for me to locate if the diamond is still on the market? It was a GIA certified diamond and I still have the GIA report number.

A: do a google search for the GIA number see if its on a drop shippers site.
B: Contact a vendor and have them look up the number.
C: contact the place where you saw it.

Thanks, I was able to locate it. Unfortunately, the other jeweler it is now at is charging $7k more which would put me over my budget.

That stinks, if you post what your looking for the folks around here would be happy to help you find something.

If it's part of virtual inventory, multiple dealers may have the stone. And maybe you only found 1 of 3 that have it. I saw a stone earlier today that was listed at 4 different places all with different prices.

You can do a search here: https://www.rarecarat.com/diamond-report

It's not as comprehensive as the vendors that have full access, but it should hit all the vendors that list via RC which is a good chunk. Manual searches on JA and BN would further cover you.

Ways to keep it from taking forever. If the stone is 1.53ct F VS1 then limit searches to 1.52-1.53, F only, VS1 only, etc. Basically make it as limited as possible to find THAT stone, as not all sites allow you to search GIA numbers.
