How RapNet is supporting our members during the COVID-19 crisis

As our industry faces unprecedented challenges wrought by the COVID-19 crisis, our hearts go out to anyone who's been impacted by the virus, either directly or indirectly.   

RapNet is here with you and committed to helping your business through this difficult period. We are staying true to our mission and are laser focused on helping you carry on your business from your home, despite the current conditions.  

Here are some of the ways RapNet is helping our members:

Share diamonds & jewelry on mobile, email and social media

Just because your customers and suppliers are forced to stay at home because of COVID-19, doesn’t mean you can’t do business.

Share diamonds and jewelry items with the world - online, on mobile and on social media (only available on the new RapNet website). 

You can offset the downturn in your foot traffic by reaching your customers - and finding new ones -wherever they are.

SHARE DIAMONDS & JEWELRY ON MOBILE, EMAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA: 

  • Promote items for sale and find new customers - on Facebook, Instagram and other social media 
  • Share items with ALL your customers by WhatsApp or email, with the click of a button - whether they are RapNet members or not  
  • Item pages are branded with your company name and include enquiry forms to generate new customers  

‘Share to Social Media’ is a premium RapNet feature that we are temporarily making available for FREE to help our members through this difficult period. 

Let your inventory shine online and bring in customer enquiries.

List your diamond inventory on RapNet anonymously

We are experiencing a major effort by a group of suppliers to boycott Rapaport as a protest against Rapaport price list changes.  To remove pressure on legitimate companies listing diamonds for sale on RapNet, we have implemented the ability to list diamonds anonymously on RapNet. Buyers will not see the name of the seller until they communicate directly with the seller to buy a diamond. The anonymous service is optional.  

Learn more here 

We are also developing a plan whereby sellers will be able to list diamonds under the RapNet name and receive full clearing house services including payments, shipping and compliance. 

To turn this feature on, please send an email with your account number toservice@diamonds.net asking us to set your listings as anonymous.  

Our customer service team will contact you to confirm. 

Should you be contacted by anyone demanding that you withdraw from RapNet please let us know via email complaint@RapNet.com. We will keep your communication confidential.
