About Naked Diamonds

Naked Diamonds is an independent education site. It is not a store, a wholesaler, or a grading lab. The job is to make cut, color, clarity, reports and origin readable before you spend.

Editor

Greg Parsons edits NakedDiamonds.com. He also oversees the sister Asscher site at AsscherDiamond.com.

• He is not a GIA staff gemologist and does not pretend to be one.
• He does not appraise stones or sell inventory through this domain.
• Guides are written from grading-lab documentation (primarily GIA), FTC jewelry-guide terminology, and live online listings — then dated when prices are quoted.

What this site is

• Shape and 4Cs explainers.
• A dated lab vs natural price comparison.
• A retailer worksheet for imaging, returns, lab filters and report access.
• A pre-purchase checklist.

What this site is not

• A warehouse of “true wholesale” diamonds. Older copies of this page said that. It was leftover marketing from a previous build and was wrong.
• A promise that affiliate retailers are the cheapest or the best.
• An investment or resale forecast.

How the site is paid for

Some retailer links are affiliates. If you buy after clicking, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is disclosed on the disclosure page and next to the links. Educational copy is not written to maximize a particular merchant’s payout.

Asscher content

Asscher-specific research — proportions, vs emerald, price, tools — is published on AsscherDiamond.com so the two domains do not rank against each other. Naked Diamonds keeps a short Asscher shape card only.
