10% increase on the cost of a loose diamond in 2 days…

[luckygreen317]

I had a .70 carat pear diamond in my basket on Brilliance.com on Wednesday. Today I went to purchase it and the price went up almost 10%. I sent a CHAT message to Brilliance and was told that their supplier increased the price and nothing they can do. Something feels amiss. Is the diamond market that volatile to increase the price by 10% in less than 2 days? It’s a small increase but the principle of it doesn’t sit well enough to purchase.
I have the GIA grading number, is there a way to circumvent this website to purchase?

You can check stone algo to see if any of their vendors have it

You can also search the grading report number at the PriceScope diamond search engine to see if any of those vendors have it:

It’s interesting, the report does not show up in this search. It showed up when I googled it under Pinterest with a NYC jeweler having it for sale at an even higher price.

Some of the suppliers/dealers are active price changes..... Sometimes you'll see an increase ahead of holiday or for the weekend Fri-> and then back down on Sunday night/Monday.... sometimes they will delist them for a couple days..
