Before joining Rapaport Trade, Mark D’Ottavio aka The Diamond Guy’s business was being held back due to the constraints of traditional networking. His contacts were few, and he often struggled to find trustworthy and reliable suppliers.
He also faced challenges with memo deals, which often led to financial losses due to untrustworthy suppliers. This limitation restricted his business growth and left him vulnerable to financial instability.

The Diamond Guy joined the Rapaport Trade community, looking to expand his network by connecting with suppliers around the world who were vetted and verified by Rapaport. This allowed Mark to operate his business on a level playing field with other more sizeable companies.
Since joining Rapaport Trade, Mark’s business has flourished and his yearly earnings have more than doubled, thanks to the connections and opportunities offered by his expanded network. Rapaport Trade helped transform The Diamond Guy, giving him the tools to secure better deals on diamonds and save significant amounts of money. With access to crucial pricing and market information, Mark spends about an hour daily reviewing market trends, reading industry news, and searching for specific diamonds. This not only keeps him up-to-date on market trends but allows him to make well-informed purchasing decisions, ensuring that he remains competitive.
Using Rapaport Trade’s search features to compare prices across various suppliers, helps Mark to secure the best deals for his clients. For example, when looking for a specific 5-carat diamond, he was able to find a significant price difference between two suppliers, ultimately saving him tens of thousands of dollars.
