Abstract
A search system is provided for presenting diamonds that are available for sale to a user of the search system. The search system includes a graphical interface through which the user may input search parameters corresponding to gemological features. Diamond listings are generated in accordance with the search parameters and arranged according to user preferences.

A computer-implemented method of operating a diamond search interface, comprising:
- generating an interactive search interface for display on a remote portal, the interactive search interface comprising:
- selectable graphical representations of a set of diamond shapes;
- and
- selectable search categories, each search category having multiple selectable options corresponding to a diamond feature graded along a scale;
- receiving, from the remote portal, a selection of a first shape of the set of diamond shapes;
- receiving, from the remote portal, a selection of a first selectable option of a first search category corresponding to a first diamond feature;
- receiving, from the remote portal, a relative ranking between:
- the diamond shape and the first search category;
- and
- the first search category and a second search category different than the first search category;
- and
- generating, for display on the remote portal, a presentation order of a set of diamond listings that corresponds to the first shape and the first diamond feature, the presentation order based on the relative ranking.
A method of presenting precious gems according to user preferences, comprising:
- generating for display precious gem features, each precious gem feature comprising selectable options;
- receiving a user selection of a first option of a first precious gem feature;
- receiving a user selection of a second option of a second precious gem feature;
- receiving a user selection of a relative ranking between:
- the first precious gem feature and the second precious gem feature;
- and
- the second precious gem feature and a third precious gem feature;
- retrieving, from a database, a plurality of precious gem listings based on the selected first option and the selected second option;
- and
- generating for display the plurality of precious gem listings arranged in accordance with the relative ranking;
- wherein the precious gem features comprise at least one of shape, cut, color, clarity, or weight.
A diamond selection system, comprising:
- a database;
- a device operating an access portal;
- and
- an application server configured to:
- generate a diamond selection interface for display using the access portal;
- receive, from the access portal, search parameters comprising two or more of:
- a diamond shape, a cut, a color, a clarity, or a weight;
- receive, from the access portal, a search request;
- in response to receiving the search parameters and the search request, retrieve, from the database, a set of diamond listings and gemological features associated with each of the diamond listings;
- receive, from the access portal, a ranking of the search parameters;
- and
- generate, for display on the access portal, a subset of diamond listings that is selected according to the ranking and corresponding gemological features.
A method for presenting diamonds in a user interface, comprising:
- receiving search parameters comprising two or more of:
- a diamond shape, a cut, a color, a clarity, or a weight;
- receiving a first user input indicating a relative ranking of the search parameters;
- retrieving a set of diamond listings that correspond to the search parameters;
- determining a first subset of the set of diamond listings based on the search parameters and the relative ranking;
- determining a first presentation order for the first subset based on the search parameters and the relative ranking;
- displaying at least a portion of the first subset of diamond listings in the user interface;
- receiving a second user input indicating a preference regarding a listing of the first subset of diamond listings;
- updating at least one of the search parameters or the relative ranking based on the preference;
- determining a second subset of the set of diamond listings based on at least one of updated search parameters or updated relative ranking;
- and
- determining a second presentation order for the second subset based on the at least one of the updated search parameters or the updated relative ranking.
