How to use the gem trading table system for direct buyer-seller deals
What is a Trading Table?
- 1A Trading Table is a bulletin-board style feature where buyers post specific gemstone requests.
- 2Verified sellers then browse these requests and submit tailored offers.
- 3Buyer and seller negotiate directly via the platform's messaging system.
- 4Once agreed, the buyer confirms the deal and pays via bank transfer.
- 5This system ensures competitive pricing and access to gems not yet listed publicly.
Tips
Be as specific as possible in your request — include carat range, budget, treatment preference, and certificate requirement
Posting a Trading Request (Buyers)

- 2Select gemstone type, desired carat range, budget, origin preference, and treatment.
- 3Specify if a lab certificate is required (and which labs you accept).
- 4Set your request expiry date (1-30 days).
- 5Your request will be visible to all verified sellers on the platform.
- 6You will be notified by email and in-app when sellers submit offers.
Completing a Trading Table Deal
- 1Review all offers in Dashboard > Trading > My Requests.
- 2Use the messaging system to ask sellers questions, request more photos, or negotiate price.
- 3When ready, click 'Accept Offer' to lock in the deal.
- 4The system generates a deal slip with payment details.
- 5Transfer the agreed amount to the seller's bank account and upload your payment slip.
