Affiliate Disclosure

“Our mission is to provide technical, unbiased diamond audits. To keep our high-level analysis free for everyone, we partner with some of the retailers we review.”

At Diamond Critics, we believe in 100% transparency. In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume that any links on this website leading to a diamond retailer or jeweler are affiliate links.

How It Works

When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This comes at no additional cost to you. In many cases, our relationships allow us to negotiate better service or insights for our readers.

Our Integrity Pledge

Our GIA-trained expertise and objective auditing process are never for sale. We only recommend retailers that meet our strict standards for:

Visual transparency (HD 360-degree imagery).
Fair market pricing and value.
Ethical sourcing and certified grading (GIA/AGS/IGI).
Superior customer protection and return policies.

We provide both positive and negative critiques. If a retailer fails our technical audit, we will say so, regardless of any affiliate relationship. Our first loyalty is always to you, the buyer.
