Editorial Policy
Our goal is to publish clear, accurate, and practical jewelry guidance—especially for high-consideration purchases like engagement rings.
How we create content
We research product categories, materials, and terminology using reputable sources (e.g., industry education resources, retailer specs, and manufacturer documentation). We prioritize information that helps shoppers compare options and avoid common pitfalls.
How we evaluate retailers and products
Reviews and “best of” guides may consider factors such as transparency, pricing clarity, return policies, customer experience, and product selection. When we reference a specific claim (like metal purity, diamond grading, or warranty terms), we try to confirm it directly from the retailer or a primary source.
Updates and corrections
Jewelry inventory, prices, and policies can change quickly. We periodically review content and may update pages for accuracy, freshness, and clarity. If you spot an error, please contact us and we’ll investigate.
Independence and affiliate relationships
The Carat Cut may earn commissions via affiliate links. Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial opinions, and we aim to be transparent about monetization.
