The path
From drawer to a fair-price sale
- 01
Book verification
Bring the stone and its papers; GIT cross-checks the report and inspects the stone.
- 02
A passport, if you want one
A verified passport: this paper, this stone. Optional, $750 once per stone.
- 03
List it
List it from your cabinet: set your price and pay a one-time $20 listing fee. Once the desk confirms the payment and reviews the lot, your stone goes into the open shop with its passport attached — seen by every buyer, sold to a checked one.
- 04
Sell with safe settlement
A flat 5% commission; safe settlement protects both sides.
When a buyer pays
Confirm, hand it over, get paid
Your sale page says where the sale stands and what to press. The buyer's money is held from their payment until they accept the stone, then paid out to you.
A sale, from your side
“Reserved — the buyer is paying”
Nothing to do yet. Keep the stone for the buyer; the lot can't be withdrawn meanwhile.24 hours, 48 hours at most“Paid — confirm the stone”

Payment held“Confirmed — under way”
Ship it insured, enter the Tracking number and Seal number, press Shipped. Or hand it over, then Handed over to the buyer. The buyer then confirms they have it. If they added a check or custody, our desk arranges the hand-over.Payment held“Delivered — the buyer is checking”
The buyer checks the stone; silence counts as acceptance. A dispute: see below.48 hours
Payment held“Accepted — payout due”, then “Paid out”
You receive your price, less any commission, plus your delivery charge if you set one.
If the buyer disputes the stone
“Disputed — the stone comes back to be checked”. The buyer has 48 hours to send it back, insured. When it arrives, press The stone has arrived, then It is the stone I sent — the buyer is refunded and you keep the stone — or It is not the stone I sent, with proof, for our desk to decide. Not sent back in time, the sale stands. A private owner's stone is checked by our desk.
