Our standards

How we build trust

Clear rules, honest limits, and a written record of every open call. No decorative badges.

Rules we follow on every open call

The software checks them on every open call and offer.

  1. 01No open call goes to a dealer our team has not approved.
  2. 02A vetted dealer’s offer, off vetted inventory with disclosures in order, reaches the jeweler directly; anything that trips a rule is read by our team first.
  3. 03No unknown treatment is presented as untreated.
  4. 04No origin claim is shown as lab-backed unless the paperwork actually supports it.
  5. 05No memo transaction moves without written terms.

What we record

  1. 01

    Treatment disclosure

    Heat, oil, fill, diffusion, coating. What was done to the stone, stated by the dealer, on its own line.
  2. 02

    Origin claims

    Country of origin as the dealer states it, labeled as theirs.
  3. 03

    Lab reports

    From recognized gemological laboratories. Attached, not referenced.
  4. 04

    Memo terms

    Duration, insured value, return conditions, and shipping responsibility. Written before the stone moves.
How it works

Both sides, on one record.

Every step is a dated line with who did it. Both sides and our team read the same record.

If you’re the jeweler
  1. Step 1

    Call for a gem

    Seven answers. Dealers see the stone, never your budget or your client.

  2. Step 2

    Offers come in

    Each with its stone, report and terms.

  3. Step 3

    Compare gems

    Cards to read, a grid to compare, every miss in words.

  4. Step 4

    Accept an offer

    The other dealers hear you chose another stone.

  5. Step 5

    Close the deal

    Both sides confirm the same terms; your ship-to goes on the close.

  6. Step 6

    Receive it

    Received, and kept or on memo: the record says which.

If you’re the dealer
  1. Step 1

    Receive a call

    The stone, its size and when it is needed. Never the jeweler’s budget or client.

  2. Step 2

    Submit offers

    Photos, report and your terms travel with the offer.

  3. Step 3

    Negotiate

    Offers and counters stay between you and that jeweler.

  4. Step 4

    Acceptance

    If another stone wins, you get one neutral line: no winning price, no winner.

  5. Step 5

    Close the deal

    Your stated terms are the terms on the close, with the jeweler’s ship-to.

  6. Step 6

    Ship it out

    Shipped, delivered, memo due: each a dated line.

Dealer verification tiers

Our team reviews every dealer. A tier shows how deep the check went, not a quality rank.

Trusted

Trusted network

A known trade source, reviewed by our team more than once.

Known trade identity / references on file / terms reviewed / routing approved

Receives open calls once our team has reviewed fit and trust.

Verified

Verified file

Business profile, references, disclosures, and operating terms reviewed.

organization record / contact path / verification notes / disclosure expectations

Receives open calls; an offer that trips a rule is held for our team to read.

In review

Soft verification

An early file, with references or documents still to come.

invite record / our team’s notes / limited open calls / extra offer scrutiny

Held from open calls until our team approves the match.

What we do not guarantee

We are a sourcing desk, not a gemological authority.

  1. 01We do not certify stones; the labs do.
  2. 02We do not guarantee origin. It is recorded as the dealer states it.
  3. 03We do not eliminate memo risk. We require written terms and documentation, but the transaction is between the parties.
  4. 04We do not replace expertise. The final judgment on a stone is yours.

Trust is earned, not declared

Every open call builds a record: what was asked, offered and closed. No jeweler can pay to rank higher.
