If you sell diamonds — or want to — you have almost certainly come across Nivoda. This guide explains what it is, how jewellers actually use it, and how to turn that vast catalogue into a shop-ready inventory on your own website.
What is Nivoda?
Nivoda is a business-to-business diamond and gemstone marketplace. It connects independent jewellers and retailers with suppliers around the world, giving them on-demand access to hundreds of thousands of certified natural and lab-grown diamonds — without having to hold that stock themselves.
Instead of buying a parcel of stones up front and hoping they sell, a jeweller can list Nivoda's inventory, take the order first, and only then purchase the exact stone the customer chose. It is a consignment-style model built for the way modern jewellery retail works.
How Nivoda works
The core idea is simple:
- Source — browse a live catalogue of certified stones (GIA, IGI and others), each with price, media and full grading data.
- Sell — show those stones to your customers, online or in store, at your own margin.
- Order on demand — when a customer commits, you place the order through Nivoda and the stone is delivered, typically with quality assurance and return terms.
Because you are not tying up capital in physical stock, you can offer a catalogue far larger than any single showroom could hold.
What you can source
- Natural diamonds across every shape, colour, clarity and cut grade
- Lab-grown diamonds, increasingly the fastest-growing segment
- Gemstones and, in many cases, ready-made jewellery
- Full certificate data and imagery (including 360° video for many stones)
Why jewellers use it
The appeal is mostly about risk and range. You get a near-endless catalogue without the cash-flow burden of inventory, and your customers get choice they would never find in a physical case. For smaller and independent retailers especially, it levels the field against large chains.
Getting Nivoda inventory onto your own website
Here is where most jewellers hit a wall. Nivoda gives you access to the stones — but displaying that catalogue on your website, with your branding, your prices and a proper shopping experience, is a separate job.
There are broadly three routes:
- Manual — copy stones across by hand. Fine for a handful; impossible for thousands.
- The Nivoda API — powerful, but it is a developer project. See our breakdown of the Nivoda API vs. a ready-made plugin.
- A dedicated plugin — sync the catalogue into your site automatically. If you run WooCommerce, that is exactly what NivoSync does.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nivoda only for large jewellers?
No. Its consignment-style model is arguably most valuable to independent and smaller retailers, precisely because it removes the need to buy stock up front.
Do I need to hold stock to sell Nivoda diamonds?
No — that is the whole point. You typically order a stone only after your customer has committed to buy it.
How do I show Nivoda diamonds on my WordPress site?
You sync the catalogue into your store. On WooCommerce, a plugin like NivoSync pulls the inventory, applies your pricing, and renders a searchable catalogue and ring builder. See pricing.
