About TheCaratCut
Independent reviews of jewelry retailers, plus buying guides and dated price data
Independent Retailer Reviews
TheCaratCut reviews online jewelry retailers, from Blue Nile and Brilliant Earth to Mejuri, Pandora and Kay. Each one is scored on the same published rubric: pricing transparency, product quality, returns and warranty, customer experience, and ethics and sourcing.
Every score shows the evidence behind it and the date it was checked. We haven't bought or tested pieces ourselves yet, and our reviews say so. Read how we review.
Watch Retailers Too
We also review watch sellers and brands, including Jomashop, WatchMaxx, Jura Watches, Fossil and G-Shock, using the same rubric.
Prices and policies change, so each review carries a “Last verified” date, and we revisit the most-read reviews first.

Engagement Ring Specialists
Compare engagement ring retailers on price, certificates and return policies. Our reviews cover Blue Nile, James Allen (now sold through Blue Nile), Brilliant Earth and others. Our buying guides explain cut, carat, lab-grown versus natural, and what a fair price looks like.
Diamond Price Data
