Engagement Ring, Diamond & Jewelry Price Watch

Why this is recommended

A one-carat lab-grown that fell from $2,500 to $900 in two years, a gold price move that adds $200 to a band, a sale window at the retailer the couple was going to use anyway, or a grading fraud alert on the certificate they were about to trust each save or cost hundreds to thousands in one purchase.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The two million couples who buy an engagement ring each year, anyone buying gold this year and everyone with a jewelry box they have not insured.

When it runs

Diamond price indexes publish at the start of the week and jewelers run sales into the weekend

Scope

Rapaport, IDEX and lab-grown price indexes; gold, platinum and silver prices; Blue Nile, James Allen, Brilliant Earth, Ritani, With Clarity, Clean Origin, Signet brands, Tiffany, Cartier, Mejuri, Catbird and Costco jewelry prices and sales; GIA, IGI and GCAL grading rules and fraud alerts; FTC Jewelry Guides and lab-grown disclosure; Jewelers Mutual and rider rules; trade-in and upgrade programs; tariffs on imported jewelry and stones; CPSC and state lead and cadmium findings in fashion jewelry

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Lab-grown and natural diamond price index moves by carat and grade, gold, platinum and silver price moves with the effect on a typical ring, retailer sale windows and price changes at Blue Nile, James Allen, Brilliant Earth, Signet, Tiffany and the online labs, grading lab rule changes and fraud alerts, FTC jewelry guide and disclosure changes, insurance and appraisal rule changes, trade-in and upgrade program changes, tariff effects on imported jewelry and recalls and lead findings in fashion jewelry, with the category, retailer or index first and the price of a one-carat example.

Track jewelry and diamond pricing for US buyers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: lab-grown and natural diamond price index moves of 5 percent or more by carat and grade from Rapaport, IDEX and lab-grown trackers; gold, platinum and silver price moves of 5 percent or more with the effect on a typical band or setting; sale windows of 20 percent or more and price changes at Blue Nile, James Allen, Brilliant Earth, Ritani, With Clarity, Clean Origin, Signet brands, Tiffany, Cartier, Mejuri, Catbird and Costco; GIA, IGI and GCAL grading rule changes and certificate fraud alerts; FTC Jewelry Guide and lab-grown disclosure changes and enforcement; insurance and appraisal rule changes at Jewelers Mutual and the major carriers; trade-in and upgrade program changes; tariff changes affecting imported jewelry and stones; and CPSC and state lead and cadmium findings in fashion jewelry. Prefer index publishers, retailer pages, grading labs, the FTC, CPSC and established jewelry trade reporting; ignore retailer marketing without stated prices. Put the category, retailer or index first in the title with the price of a one-carat example where it applies. Use high severity for an index move of 10 percent, a fraud alert, or a sale of 30 percent at a top-5 retailer. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the price effect, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
