Diamond Cost

Rapaport Report gives information about costs to dealers and other people in diamond industry that work with diamonds.

The diamond cut is last determinant of the diamond cost. A good cut diamond cost can be much higher than Rapaport cost assessment and of course if the diamond has a bad cut the cost may decrease.

The problem is that the diamond cut is not the part of the Rapaport Report. It is determined be each individual seller.

The diamond prices are only increasing so a potential buyer should be careful not to purchase the overpriced item.
