Diamond Standard is the primary dealer for diamond commodities. Like gold refiners, our job is to create and offer a fungible unit of trade. Refiners offer a kilo bar of 0.999 purity, we offer Diamond Standard Coins each containing equivalent gemological content.

As a market maker for loose diamonds, we bid on millions of diamond varieties, and force regular price discovery, by purchasing a public and statistically valid sample of diamonds. The diamond market tells us the cost.

As primary dealer, we offer new Diamond Standard Coins to consumers at a daily fix price determined by secondary market trading

We offer Coins to institutional investors via a sales desk, with pricing based on market impact, timing and volume.

Approved market makers and brokers can participate in a weekly primary dealer auction, which establishes the discount such participants require in order to provide liquidity or distribution.
