Established in 1976, the Group has over ten thousand clients in 70 countries.

The publishing division is best known for its Rapaport Price List. Established in

The Diamonds.Net internet portal supports our 24/7 Rapaport News Service as well

global reach, independent perspective and total commitment to providing our clients
