Rapaport Research Report - June 2019

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.

In this month’s edition, we explore the theme of corporate social responsibility to understand the added value that source verification provides. As the industry is becoming more organized, we expect further differentiation between companies that have strong CSR and sourcing programs from those that do not, and, by extension, “good” diamonds from tainted ones.
