Hi !

Could someone tell me which chart on the rapaport is used for Oval shape?
Do I use Rounds or Pears?

Thanks!

That depends on what you're trying to learn. If you'e trying to decide what a reasonable price for a diamond should be, I would't suggest you use eithr. Try the search function at the online dealers and find an actual comparable diamond to compare with. There's one at the top of the page under 'find onine jeweler'.

mangosilver,

The answer is "pears", but as Neil says, rapaport is a terrible way to judge value of a diamond or try and negotiate a price.

Shop online, compare prices, learn about how cut effects price. These will be much more valuable tools than the rap sheet.
