How much do retailers differ on the same diamond?
Across 472 identical stones carried by more than one retailer, the typical gap between the cheapest and dearest listing is 53%, about £11,573.
Can I see retailers for one exact grade?
Yes. Each of the 27 colour and clarity combinations above has its own page listing the retailers that stock exactly that grade.

How fresh is this data?

How is the retailer ranking calculated?
Strictly by active inventory count for this exact spec. The retailer carrying the most stones at the spec ranks first. There is no editorial input, weighting or affiliate consideration.
