Rapaport Research Report - April 2025

The Rapaport Research Report is essential reading for those seeking to understand diamond price trends and the current state of the industry throughout the diamond pipeline.

The report includes extensive, proprietary data from RapNet, the world’s largest diamond trading platform, giving a snap shot of real-world pricing information, inventory levels and transactional data to help you keep track of the market. This includes average prices, discounts and inventory by country alongside search volume, average time to sale and transaction volume.

In addition to reviewing the global rough, polished and retail markets, each month the Rapaport Research Report focuses in on a key issue affecting the diamond industry, providing definitive analysis and insight, while assessing the potential impact on your business and the industry as a whole.

This edition looks at the immediate impact of the US’s tariffs on foreign goods and how the policy could reshape the diamond industry in the long run. President Donald Trump’s implementation of a 10% baseline rate for imports from almost all countries sent the jewelry trade and the world into chaos. This edition uses exclusive RapNet data to assess trends in asking prices and inventory levels since the announcement. It breaks the sector down by location, analyzing how five key trading hubs have responded and what lies ahead for them.
