ONE DIAMOND. TWENTY-SEVEN WAYS TO MEASURE ITS VALUE. What changes when you measure a diamond in gold instead of dollars? Or Bitcoin instead of Swiss francs? DiamondMaster helps diamond professionals, gemologists, appraisers, buyers and traders explore wholesale reference values for Mined-Natural and Grown-Created diamonds. Compare classifications, adjust your pricing basis, and see how a different exchange unit changes the picture. Developed by Wayne D. Prentice, Graduate Gemologist and former GIA Resident Gemology Instructor, DiamondMaster brings gemological knowledge and the BrightList wholesale reference guide together on iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE THE 8 C'S Cut Shape, Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut Grade, Cost, Change in Value and Creation—the diamond's natural or laboratory-grown origin. • 10 shapes: Round, Pear, Emerald, Princess, Marquise, Oval, Radiant, Cushion, Trilliant and Heart. • Shape-specific carat selections, with 46 categories for Round, from 0.01 ct through the 10–10.99 ct range. • 10 color grades, D–M, and 10 clarity grades, IF–I-3. • Five cut-grade selections, Excellent through Poor. • Separate natural and lab-grown reference datasets. • Per-carat and total reference values, dimension guidelines, grading descriptions and shape-specific gemological information. 27 COST UNITS WITH BRIGHTLIST Keep the diamond selection. Change the measuring stick. 12 currencies: USD, EUR, JPY, CHF, CAD, GBP, AUD, BRL, RUB, INR, CNY and ZAR. 2 basket references: • XDR: the IMF's Special Drawing Right. • XUNT: DiamondMaster's calculated reference for the proposed gold-and-currency BRICS+ "THE UNIT" basket. 6 precious-metal units: • Gold (XAU), platinum (XPT) and silver (XAG), each by troy ounce. • Gold by gram: Denari (XDEN). • Gold by 100 grams: Centum (XCEN). • Gold by kilogram: Milia (XMIL). 7 crypto assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), PAX Gold (PAXG) and Zcash (ZEC). COMPARE ACROSS TIME Natural-diamond screens show 1-year and 5-year percentage changes in your selected Cost unit. By liberating diamond valuation from the traditional US Dollar peg, the 'Bright List' normalizes a diamond's intrinsic scarcity, extraction costs, and luxury premium across 27 distinct economic units. Whether you are tracking a gem by its 4 C’s or analyzing macro liquidity shifts, our advanced dual-period tracking over 1- and 5-year intervals reveals the true reality of wealth: letting you see instantly whether your diamond is genuinely appreciating, or if your chosen currency is losing its purchasing power. MAKE THE LIST YOUR OWN Use the Global Value Adjuster to apply a discount or premium across diamond calculations. Explore your preferred buying or selling basis, or return to LIST with a 1.00 multiplier.
