Rapaport Research Report - April 2026

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 also offers the regular exclusive RapNet data for 0.30-, 0.50-, 1- and 3-carat natural diamonds, including average prices, discounts, inventory by country, and search volume. It presents the volume of goods moving onto and off of the RapNet platform, and the average time it takes them to do so. In addition, this issue contains a new section analyzing data on the recent performance of 0.30-carat diamonds.

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 investigates Anglo American’s efforts to sell its 85% stake in De Beers and how the deal might affect the diamond market. Three private bidding groups are in the running to acquire the famous company, which they will likely do in partnership with governments of mining nations, according to insiders. We assess these candidates and ask why current and former trade members constitute a large proportion of the potential buyers.
