Stones under $10k sell with no commission while we launch

While we build the base and close the first deals, a stone under $10,000 sells with no seller commission, whoever sells it: a private owner, a dealer or a jewelry store. The dealer plan is free too. You receive your price in full, and the buyer pays our fee through the buyer's premium and the settlement fee. A private owner lists from their cabinet and pays a one-time $20 listing fee for the lot. From $10,000 the commission is 5%. Larger inventories are discussed individually.

If you sell

What a seller pays

CommissionNone under $10,000 · 5% from $10,000: Only when the stone sells, taken from the price. While we launch, a stone under $10,000 sells with no commission, whoever sells it.
Private owner's accountFree: Your owner account, a stone's record and its public page cost nothing.
Listing fee$20 once per lot: For a private owner putting a stone on sale: paid once, when you list it, not every month. The desk confirms the payment and reviews the lot, and it stays live until it sells.
Dealer planFree while we launch: For dealers and jewelry stores: unlimited inventory, batch upload and printable QR tags. $300/month after the launch.

If you buy

What a buyer pays

Buyer's premium3–7%: On top of the price, by deal value — the bands below. It covers our desk's work on your purchase.
Settlement fee3%: Of the price, at any price, on every purchase — stones held in custody included. Your payment is held until you confirm the stone.
Insured deliveryThe seller's terms: Each lot shows how it ships, and what that costs, before you pay.

For any stone

What you can add

Independent lab checkThe lab's fee: When you buy a stone under $10,000: a gem lab checks it, at the lab's own fee with nothing added. From $10,000 it comes inside the Passport.
Registry recordFree: The report cross-checked against the lab's own records, with a QR page for the stone.
Passport$750 once per stone: Optional at any price: a gem lab checks the stone against its report, and the passport states that this paper describes this stone. A seller orders it to sell faster; otherwise a buyer can.
Custody3.5% a year, all-in: Of documented value, from $1,500 onboarding: vault storage, insurance, an annual valuation and a sale without moving the stone. Arranged stone by stone: the team confirms the vault, the insurer and the terms with you first.

Safe settlement

Your payment is held until you confirm the stone.

The premium and the settlement fee are what Everystone earns on a purchase. The price reaches the seller only once you accept the stone, and anything you add is a second payment, asked for after the stone is confirmed.

Where your money is

1 · The stone — paid when you order

You pay

Price + buyer's premium + settlement fee

The premium is 3–7% by price; the settlement fee 3%. A seller's delivery charge, if you chose it, is paid here too.

Held

Held until you confirm the stone

Nobody is paid while the seller confirms, the stone travels and you check it.

When you accept

Released to the seller

Their price, less any commission (no commission while we launch under $10,000, 5% from $10,000), plus their delivery charge. The premium and the settlement fee are Everystone's.

If not

Back to you in full

The seller no longer has the stone, it is not confirmed within 96 hours, your identity check does not come when asked, or your dispute is upheld — the stone you send back is the one you received.

2 · Only if you added something — after the stone is confirmed

You pay

A lab check, a Passport or custody

And delivery, when it is quoted for your country once the stone is confirmed.

Once

Paid once, not refundable

“Billed only once the stone is confirmed, as a second payment. Paid once, and not refundable.”

It pays for

The work you chose

Never billed for a stone that isn't there. The stone is not handed over while this payment waits.

Two payments at most. The first is for the stone and is held until you accept it. The second exists only if you added something, and is asked for once the stone is confirmed.

The buyer's premium

What a buyer pays on top, at each price

The premium falls as the price rises; the settlement fee stays 3% at any price. Even combined with the seller's commission, the total stays well under an auction's ~38%.

$5,000 and above: 3%+ 3% settlement = 6% on top
$1,000 – $4,999: 5%+ 3% settlement = 8% on top
Under $1,000: 7%+ 3% settlement = 10% on top

What you pay on top of the price

Buyer's premiumSettlement fee

$500 stone
$35 premium (7%) + $15 settlement fee = 10% on top · you pay $550
$3,000 stone
$150 premium (5%) + $90 settlement fee = 8% on top · you pay $3,240
$7,500 stone
$225 premium (3%) + $225 settlement fee = 6% on top · you pay $7,950
$20,000 stone
$600 premium (3%) + $600 settlement fee = 6% on top · you pay $21,200
$45,000 stone
$1,350 premium (3%) + $1,350 settlement fee = 6% on top · you pay $47,700

The buyer's premium is 7% under $1,000, 5% from $1,000 to under $5,000 and 3% from $5,000; the settlement fee is 3% at any price. Delivery, when the seller charges it, and anything you add are shown before you pay.

Worked out

Two stones, to the dollar

Every figure comes from the same calculation the checkout uses: one stone under $10,000 and one above it.

The tiers

What each tier contains

A tier says how far a stone's record goes: the paper, the stone itself, or the stone under control. A Passport is optional at any price, and custody is arranged stone by stone.

For a jewelry piece

The same three tiers. A piece's record holds its main stone, its metal and its weight: the stone is identified in its setting, and the metal is read from its hallmark.
