Editorial Policy

Our Goals

Our main goal is to provide accurate and reliable information to help you make informed decisions when purchasing a diamond. This includes information about the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight), different diamond shapes, and how to evaluate the quality of a diamond. We’re not tied to any particular company and pride ourselves on providing impartial and valuable advice.

We also offer reviews and comparisons of different diamonds and diamond brands to allow you to choose the best option for their needs and budget. Our reviews provide information about the specific features and characteristics of different diamonds, as well as their relative prices and value.

In addition to providing technical information about diamonds, we also address ethical and environmental considerations. This includes articles and information about the differences in diamonds (mined and traded ethically vs lab-grown). We explore alternatives to diamonds and evaluate the pros and cons.

We offer tips and resources on how to shop for a diamond, what to consider when making a purchase, and how to negotiate the best price. This includes information about different retailers and online shopping options, as well as tips for comparing and evaluating different diamonds.

Finally, we provide information and resources to help you look after and maintain their diamonds. This includes information about cleaning and storing diamonds, as well as how to get them repaired or resized if needed.

Overall, our goal is to provide helpful, accurate, and unbiased information that empowers visitors to make informed decisions about their diamond purchases. We strive to do this in a manner that is relatable and easy to understand.

Our Sourcing Policy

To ensure that we provide our readers with accurate and reliable information, we only use reputable, data-driven sources in our content. We carefully review all facts and data points for authenticity and bias before publishing them. Our sources include:

  • Legitimate jewelry and diamond associations
  • Reports and data published by industry leaders

We are committed to providing our readers with factual content that they can trust. As we make purchases first hand, we’ll also cover and write about our own experience from purchase to receiving the item. By exclusively using these reputable sources, we aim to ensure that our content is accurate and unbiased.

Our Team

Before we publish any content, it goes through a thorough vetting process. Our dedicated team of jewelers and diamond experts research and review each topic before submitting their work for approval. Once this first step is complete, our Review Panel fact-checks and revises these drafts to make sure they are accurate and free of bias. This panel consists of jewelers, diamond experts, diamond cutters, and other jewelry specialists with backgrounds specifically related to diamonds and gemstones.

This team helps ensure all our content is factual and useful for you. Each of our pages lists the original author and reviewer.
