At Your Diamond Teacher, transparency and trust are at the core of everything I publish. This website is reader-supported, and I may earn a commission when you click on certain links throughout the site and make a purchase. This helps keep the site running and allows me to continue providing free, in-depth content to help you make smarter decisions when buying diamonds.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a unique tracking link. If you click one and make a purchase from a retailer, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions do not affect the price you pay or the objectivity of my content.
For example, when I link to a diamond from retailers like James Allen, Blue Nile, Whiteflash and other jewelry vendors, I may receive compensation if you complete a purchase after clicking through.
How Do I Choose What to Recommend?
Every product, vendor, or service I mention is selected based on:
- Real-world experience
- Market data
- Technical specifications
- Reader value and feedback
I never accept payment in exchange for a favorable review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Why It Matters to You
Using affiliate links helps support this website. It allows me to invest in:
- Buying test diamonds for hands-on reviews

- Running performance tests on cut quality, color sensitivity, and clarity comparisons
Your support means I can keep this content unbiased, high-quality, and free to access.
Compliance and Ethics
I follow all guidelines outlined by the:
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States
