Why I started writing about diamond prices (and what I’ve seen behind the scenes)

Over the past few years, I’ve sold diamond jewelry in just about every way possible.

I’ve worked with Amazon sellers, Etsy creators, physical stores, private jewelers, and high-end auction houses.

I’ve seen how two identical rings – same diamond, same gold – can sell for wildly different prices depending on who’s behind the counter.


What shocked me most wasn’t just the price gaps – it was how little buyers understood what they were paying for.

I’ve had buyers ask me:

  • “Why is this ring $1,000 cheaper online?”
  • “Is IGI the same as GIA?”
  • “Is this diamond really natural?”

The truth?

Most people don’t get clear answers – and most sellers don’t want them to ask.


That’s why I started this blog.

Not to sell.
Not to hype.
But to help regular people understand what really affects diamond jewelry prices – and how to avoid expensive mistakes.

If you’ve ever looked at two rings and thought “what’s the real difference?” – you’re in the right place.


In the next posts, I’ll break down the real reasons behind pricing – from lab reports to markup games – and show you examples I’ve seen firsthand.

Thanks for reading.
Let’s get started.
