The fine print
Affiliate disclosure
How this site makes money, in plain words.
Right now
There are no affiliate links yet. Links to GIA, the FTC and other sources are ordinary links.
Soon
We're applying to affiliate programs run by jewelry sellers. Once approved, some links will earn us a commission when you buy. The price you pay doesn't change.
How they'll be handled
- Every affiliate link will be labeled right next to it, and carry the
sponsoredtag. - We'll only link to listings that disclose treatments, as the FTC's Jewelry Guides expect.
- No seller can pay to change a guide, a warning or a fact.
This follows the Federal Trade Commission's rules on endorsements. Updated September 2026.
