About This Site

An Information Site, Not a Jeweler

Diamondtaire is an independent publisher. It exists to explain how diamonds are graded, priced and described, so that someone standing at a jeweler’s counter knows what the words on the ticket actually mean. It does not sell diamonds, hold stock, grade stones or arrange purchases.

How This Site Works

Three things worth knowing before you read anything else here.

Nothing Here Is for Sale

There is no shop, no cart and no stock. Where an article names a retailer or a stone, it is because the example is useful, not because a sale waits at the end of it.

How It Is Paid For

Some links to retailers may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. That is set out on the Affiliate Disclosure page, and it never changes what an article says.

Your Details Stay Yours

There is no newsletter and no account to create, and nothing here asks for your budget. Like most websites, Diamondtaire uses cookies for advertising and analytics, and the contact form receives only what you choose to send. The Privacy Policy explains what is collected and how to opt out.

Where to Start

The diamond education guides cover grading from the ground up. If you read only one thing first, make it the 4Cs.
