The global standard for pricing natural cut diamonds is the Rapaport Price List. It's a reference price list that is regularly published and serves as the basis for wholesale diamond prices on world markets.
The price list is structured according to:
- weight (carats),
- color (Color),
- clarity (Clarity),
- and partially also by cut quality (Cut).
The final market price of a specific diamond is then derived from this reference basis. Dealers typically provide a discount or premium to the Rapaport price list depending on the specific stone, its demand, and other parameters (e.g., fluorescence, exact shape, cut proportions).
