RapNet, a leading diamond trading network, has officially voted against the inclusion of undisclosed synthetic diamonds on its platform. This decision reinforces the network’s commitment to transparency and consumer protection within the diamond industry.

Focus on Disclosure and Compliance

The vote directly addresses growing concerns over synthetic diamond disclosure compliance. The platform’s policy mandates full and clear disclosure of a diamond’s origin (natural or lab-created) in all listings to prevent fraud and maintain market integrity.

“Our members have spoken clearly. The integrity of the natural diamond market is paramount, and that requires rigorous, unambiguous disclosure standards for all materials traded,” said a RapNet spokesperson.

The move is seen as a significant step in standardizing practices and building trust, ensuring that buyers and sellers can operate with confidence regarding the authenticity of the goods.
