Rapaport Releases Upgraded Auction Report

RAPAPORT PRESS RELEASE, March 8, 2018, New York… Rapaport has released its newly redesigned report on the
major jewelry auction sales, providing detailed information on selling prices
in a clearer, more user-friendly format.

Magnificent Jewels Auction Results presents comprehensive
data on sales of diamonds and colored gemstones at Christie’s and Sotheby’s
flagship auctions in New York, Geneva and Hong Kong.

The new edition of the report organizes information in a
more logical and accessible way. It presents lots by size category, making it
easier for members of the jewelry trade to find the precise data they need on
selling prices. It also illustrates top-selling lots with images, giving users
a sense of the design styles that were in demand.

“Auction results are an important resource in understanding
the state of the large-diamond and gemstone market,” said John Costello, publisher
at Rapaport. “The redesigned Magnificent Jewels Auction Results report,
including insightful commentary on the Fall 2017 Christie’s and Sotheby’s
auctions and better-organized pricing data, is a valuable tool for anyone
buying and selling large, exceptional stones.”

Three distinct sections deal respectively with white
diamonds, colored diamonds and colored gemstones. The report states each
stone’s characteristics — cut, carat weight, color and clarity — plus the
selling price per carat. For white diamonds, it also includes the percentage
discount off the Rapaport Price List.

The first edition, covering the Fall 2017 season of
Magnificent Jewels auctions, is now available for purchase at store.rapaport.com
for $250.
