marketplace.
Qualified demand, translated into a brief you can actually source against.
5th Facet connects specific buyer requests with exact lab-grown diamonds. Share a certificate-identified stone when the fit is real. No broad inventory upload is required to take part in the pilot.

Reply with certificate identity, current availability and your quote—not a lookalike listing.
Illustrative brief only. Not a live RFQ or a promise of a transaction.
01 / THE DIFFERENCELess catalog maintenance.
01 / VALUE 02 / VALUE 03 / VALUE
Less catalog maintenance.
More relevant conversations.
This is a request-led sourcing relationship, not an open marketplace. We organize buyer preferences before asking partners for options, so your team can decide whether a specific stone is worth putting forward.
Inventory on your terms
Source from available stones as requests arrive. No standing feed or blanket catalog commitment for the pilot.
A traceable response
Tie each offer to a grading lab and certificate number, with availability stated at the time of response.
02 / A SIMPLE SOURCING LOOPA request in.
A request in.
An exact stone out.
The pilot keeps the exchange focused: one buyer brief, documented candidate stones, a private customer presentation.
01 / 03
We frame the demand
A buyer’s preferences become a structured RFQ: shape, carat, grading criteria, ratio where relevant, budget and timing.
02 / 03
You offer a specific stone
Respond only when there is a fit. Provide grading lab, certificate number, specifications, quoted terms and point-in-time availability.
03 / 03
We review and present
5th Facet evaluates responses and may include selected exact stones in a private retail quote. Supplier commercial terms stay in the sourcing workflow.
03 / BUILT FOR SELECTIVITYYour inventory
Your inventory
doesn’t need to
live here.
The best response is the one that genuinely fits the request.
Send a current, verifiable candidate when you have one. Pass when you don’t. We are looking for dependable sourcing relationships, not volume for its own sake. Availability remains subject to reconfirmation before any next step; an RFQ or quote is not a reservation.
