If you click on the image of a sample “Rap List,” you will see four separate grids. Each one is for a different size category. The four categories shown on this sample are 0.90-0.99, 1.00-1.49, 1.50-1.99, och 2.00-2.99. Each grid is a matrix of color against clarity. To find the “Rap Price” for a […]

According to Wikipedia, Martin Rapaport started as a cleaver and rough sorter in Antwerp, Belgien. I 1975 he began brokering rough and polished diamonds in New York City and, I 1978, created the Rapaport Prices List. Since creating the price list, he’s also known for founding many businesses in the diamond industry, including an […]
As we’ve covered below, a significant amount of the diamond pricing equation is based on the Rapaport Prices List, or Rap List — an industry price list that provides standardized pricing for different diamond color and clarity grades. One interesting outcome of the entire business being based on the Rap List is that far […]
You could imagine very easily that if there’s a 20% price jump from a 0.99ct diamond to a 1.00ct diamond, the cutter who loses that 0.01ct trying to make a prettier stone will lose his job. Perhaps with the nicer cut it will only be worth 15% less instead of 20%, but either way, […]
Jag betonar kategorier, eftersom du av misstag kan tro att priserna per karat ökar kontinuerligt när vikten ökar, men så är inte fallet. Eftersom diamanter är en detaljhandelsprodukt som drivs mer av känslor än förnuft, en diamant på 0,99 ct är bara värd ca 1% mer än en liknande diamant som väger 0,98ct. But a 1.00ct […]
As you’ve probably noticed, the price ranges we’ve listed above for different diamond shapes and carat weights are very large. Till exempel, a 2 carat round brilliant cut diamond can cost upwards of $50,000, or as little as $7,400. Saving money when buying a diamond is all about finding the intersection where a diamond’s […]
Alla diamanter är prissatta per karat. Låt oss säga a 0.50 karat diamant har ett pris på $1400 per karat. Diamantens pris för stenen skulle vara $1400 * 0.50, eller $700. Eller, låt oss säga att a 1 karat diamant har ett pris på $4,100 per karat. This one is easy to calculate — […]
Diamond prices can vary hugely depending on a diamond’s shape, cut quality, clarity and color. Till exempel, the cost of a one carat diamond can range from just $1,500 to more than $16,000 for an extremely well cut, high quality diamond, while a two carat diamond could cost as little as $6,000 or as […]
When discussing pricing and what is a fair deal, you have to know what you want and how to be sure you are getting what you are paying for. You need to make sure you are following the process to ensure you aren’t getting scammed. It’s hard figuring out how much you should spend […]
Often when people hear the term “Carat Weight,” they think it refers to the size of the diamond. In actuality, Carat refers to the weight of the diamond, not how large the stone is. En 1 Carat Diamond equals 200 milligrams, eller 0.2 grams—and weighs about the same as a quarter of a raisin. […]
