FAQ

  1. What are Rapaport Auctions?

    Rapaport Auctions is one of the largest recyclers of diamonds in the world. We help retailers, gold buyers, wholesalers, and pawnbrokers sell their diamonds quickly and efficiently and provide consistent cash flow through our monthly auctions. With more than 18,000 clients in over 70 countries, our auctions foster competitive bids from the most serious buyers worldwide. Whether you are buying from the public or looking to move excess inventory for immediate cash, Rapaport Auctions provides a secure, robust platform to achieve the most competitive prices.

    Rapaport Melee auctions consist of uncertified diamonds sold in parcels. Single Stone auctions are comprised of certified and uncertified diamonds, sold individually. The auction format is similar to silent auctions and tenders with viewing over a specified time period. Sealed bids are submitted prior to close of auction, and sellers have one business day after closing to approve or reject top bids. Buyers are then invoiced for lots accepted and payment is executed for all lots sold.

  2. How can I participate in a Rapaport Auction?

    The first step is to register here.

    A Rapaport Trading Manager will contact you and coordinate your participation in the auctions of your choice.

    Sellers must complete an Auction Supplier Agreement to submit diamonds for sale, subject to approval by Auction Support. All registered clients receive a unique user login and password to access to the Rapaport Auctions website at www.rapaportauctions.com.

  3. How do sellers submit diamonds to the auction?

    • Contact a Rapaport Trading Manager by email: auctions@rapaport.com or call +1-800-488-9108.
    • Rapaport will inspect all goods and review reserve prices before accepting them for auction.
  4. What types of goods are accepted for auction?

    Rapaport Melee Auctions consist of uncertified goods sold in parcels from -2.5 sieve plate to 2ct sizes, including finely assorted melee, mixed breakout, broken goods, and closeout merchandise.

    Single Stone Auctions consist of a wide variety of certified and uncertified polished diamonds in round and fancy cuts, from 0.30ct to 5ct+ sizes

  5. What is minimum/maximum amount to supply an auction?

    For melee, it’s important to keep the value of the lot between $10,000 and $35,000. We keep a minimum value per lot so as not to overwhelm buyers with too many lots to view, and the cap keeps bidders competitive.

    For single stones, the minimum is 50 points and above. The maximum amount ranges on a case-by-case basis. Suppliers submitting for the first time are held to a maximum value they may submit, which changes depending on their ongoing percentage of sales.

  6. How is delivery and shipping of diamonds to the Rapaport offices handled?

    Merchandise approved for submission must be delivered to the designated Rapaport office no later than five business days prior to the auction. Unsold stones can be picked up following the close of auction. Sellers are responsible for all shipping costs. Rapaport fully insures all diamonds on our premises.

  7. How soon after the auction are results released?

    Suppliers are notified of the results the night the auction closes.

  8. When do sellers receive payment for the sold goods?

    Sellers are paid for lots sold one week after invoicing. Rapaport guarantees the seller receives payment for the diamond less commission or the diamond will be returned to the seller.

  9. Can diamonds be listed elsewhere while they're in auction?

    Once diamonds are accepted for auction, they are exclusive to Rapaport Auctions and must be removed from RapNet and other public listings.

  10. Are there fees to participate?

    There is a 5% charge on diamonds sold. Contact a Rapaport Trading Manager for additional details.
