Frequently asked questions

No. 47thst.now is an independent board for the 47th Street Diamond District in New York. We do not take a cut of any deal and no dealer pays to appear. Listings come from dealers themselves or from their public websites, and every listing says where it came from.

Yes. Every listing is either submitted by the dealer directly or pulled from the dealer's own public website with attribution. We never invent inventory. Before any transaction, verify the stone with an independent appraiser and confirm the details directly with the dealer.

Yes. A listing stays on the board for 24 hours from posting, then it is removed automatically. This keeps the board fresh — everything you see was posted within the last day.

Tap 'Make an offer' on any listing, enter your offer amount and phone number, and send it in-app. The offer is recorded against that listing and routed to the board operator, who relays it to the dealer. There is no phone dialing and nothing leaves the app.

Every 4 hours the board re-checks who is open (New York time), re-tests dealer websites, and republishes the static pages so search engines see current data. The listing board itself updates live within about a minute of a new post.

Check the dealer's Google reviews and rating on their row, ask for a GIA or IGI certificate for the stone, and get an independent appraisal before buying. If a deal feels rushed, walk away — a real 47th Street dealer will not object to verification.

Most dealers on 47th Street are open Monday through Friday. Some are open Saturday, and most close Sunday. The board shows who is open right now, recomputed every 4 hours in New York time.
