BBBMetals is being built as a research, tools and sourcing resource for diamonds, jewelry and precious metals. Our goal is to make specifications, measurements, documentation and value concepts easier to understand before money changes hands.
Calculations
BBB tools show their inputs and are intended as reference calculations. Market prices, dealer spreads, fabrication, condition, gemstones and other factors can materially change transaction value.
Verification
When an independent laboratory or issuer provides a report, buyers should verify it with that issuer. BBB does not represent itself as the grading laboratory.
Sourcing
Sourcing requests describe demand. Availability, supplier legitimacy, documentation, pricing and transaction terms must be checked before an item is presented as available.
Show the specification. Show the math. Show the document.
BBB's long-term advantage should come from making complex buying decisions easier to inspect—not from hiding the details.
