The diamond desk of Oceania Trading Limited. Rough and polished, natural and lab-grown, colourless and fancy — traded on price book, placed with report. What the parcel holds is what the parcel states.
Rough, polished natural, polished lab-grown, and fancy colour. Each line traded on its own book, on its own pricing reference, with its own disclosure. The desk never mingles natural and lab-grown material — on the parcel, in the invoice, or on the report.
Rough diamonds by parcel or individual stone. Kimberley Process certified at origin. Boxes opened for review in Antwerp; pricing referenced against De Beers book and current sightholder comparables. Sizes from +5ct makeable to special-size stones on request.
Natural polished diamonds, 0.01 carat to 50 carat, graded by GIA or HRD. Rounds and fancies, D through K colour, IF through SI2 clarity. Matched pairs and suites assembled on request. Priced against Rapaport and IDEX, reviewed weekly.
CVD and HPHT lab-grown polished, graded by IGI or GCAL. Traded as its own line with its own pricing — never blended with natural inventory. Every stone ships with lab-grown disclosed on the paperwork and laser-inscribed on the girdle. Useful for houses running a separate lab-grown collection.
Natural fancy-coloured diamonds — pink, yellow, blue, green, and on availability, red. Graded by GIA for colour, with origin noted where argyle or kimberlite provenance applies. Single-stone trades, dossier per stone, no parcels. Argyle pinks placed only with introduced buyers.
Lab-grown and natural are never mingled — on the parcel, in the book, in the report.
The 4Cs are the language of the trade. The desk reads them on the report — never from eye, never from memory, never softened for the listing.
Weight, not size. A round brilliant at one carat measures about 6.5mm across the table. Per-carat pricing jumps at half- and whole-carat boundaries — 0.99 and 1.00 are materially different stones on the book.
D is colourless; Z is saturated yellow. D through F is the premium colourless tier; G through J still faces up white against a mounting. Fancy colour is a separate grading scale entirely.
From flawless (FL) to I3 — eleven grades describing internal and surface characteristics under 10× magnification. VS1 and VS2 are the sweet spot for most trade; SI-clarity stones are eye-clean at the right lab.
The only C the cutter controls. GIA grades Excellent through Poor on round brilliants; AGS measures Ideal at a finer tolerance. Cut drives most of the visual life of the stone — and most of the price variance at a given C/C/C.
— plus fluorescence, polish and symmetry, all on the report.
Three offices, one pipeline. Rough reviewed and traded in Antwerp; cut and polished in Surat and Mumbai; placed and booked from Auckland.
Rough boxes opened and assessed. Dealer network for parcel-out and specials. European trade placement for polished goods routing to houses. Diamond Office and HRD round the corner.
Rough goes to cutting under per-stone plans. Surat for volume and careful work on 0.30–3.00ct; Mumbai for larger important stones and fancy shapes. Yield reviewed per lot against the plan.
The central book of record. Compliance, AML and trade accounts. Parcels insured and routed from here to trade counterparties, jewellers under commission, or final buyers on introduction.
Every polished stone ships with a report from one of four laboratories. Lab choice follows the stone — GIA on naturals as the default, IGI on lab-grown, HRD for European trade routing, AGS when the cut grade asks for a finer tolerance.
Four protocols run centrally from Auckland across every parcel the desk trades. Conditions of trading, not sales tools.
Every rough parcel carries a Kimberley Process certificate from origin. Every polished lot is traceable to the rough it came from. The file follows the stone from mine through cutter to placement, and remains with the desk as the book of record.
Polished stones above 0.30 carat ship with a grading report. Lab chosen per stone — GIA on naturals, IGI on lab-grown. Reports are never re-issued, never edited, never cherry-picked; the desk places the stone at the lab first and accepts the grade that returns.
Lab-grown inventory is held, invoiced and reported separately from natural. No blending in parcels, no blending on invoices, no ambiguity in copy. Every lab-grown stone is laser-inscribed on the girdle per FTC and lab standard.
One counterparty file maintained centrally. Source of funds, source of wealth, sanctions and PEP screening refreshed annually and on material change. Applied uniformly across every trade account, with no carve-outs.
