01

Research and sourcing

Scientific claims should rely on GIA, Gem-A, recognised laboratories, peer-reviewed journals, geological surveys and university research. Seller copy may provide leads but is not treated as scientific authority.

First-hand observations and supplier information are labelled as such. A citation supports only the claim it actually addresses.

02

Commercial independence

The site may sell gemstones while publishing educational material about them. Commercial relationships, supplied samples and relevant conflicts should be disclosed beside the work they affect.

Editorial pages are not rewritten around stock merely to create search traffic.

03

Corrections and updates

Substantive corrections are made promptly and dated. Meaningful updates change the page’s updated date; routine deployments do not.
