Quick Tips for Success

  • The Rapaport Price List updates every Thursday at 11:59 PM EST. Always ensure you are looking at the most recent list before finalizing a high-value deal on Friday morning.

  • In the Price Calculator, play with the +/-% Rap field. This helps you quickly see how a small shift in discount affects the total stone price without doing the manual math.

  • Before listing or buying a diamond, check TradeScreen. If your price is significantly higher than the "Average Price" listed, you may want to adjust your discount to increase conversion velocity.

  • Download the RapNet app. It includes the Price Calculator, which is perfect for checking prices on the go or during live negotiations when you aren't at your desk.
