Rapaport Research Report - August 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 digs into the solutions that members of the diamond and jewelry industry have implemented or are considering in light of the US tariffs. US President Donald Trump’s policy has created deep concerns in the diamond industry, especially since he announced that duties on Indian goods would rise to 50% on August 27. Businesses are seeking workarounds but are also wary of making heavy investments until the situation is more stable. The report analyzes some of the possible short- and long-term plans and what each one could entail.
