About Nassim
Nassim Parker writes data-led diamond buying guides and retailer comparisons designed for one goal: help buyers make a confident decision before checkout.
The analysis emphasizes what actually changes a buyer’s lived experience after delivery: sparkle and contrast (cut), eye-clean appearance (clarity behavior), lab-grown transparency issues (haze/strain/undertones), setting durability, and the fine print that determines long-term value (return windows, warranty scope, and upgrade eligibility).

Author FAQ
How are retailer rankings determined?
Rankings are based on evaluation criteria designed to predict buyer satisfaction: inspection reliability, clarity risk, lab-grown transparency risk, setting durability, aftercare experience, and upgrade/return economics.
Do affiliate relationships affect conclusions?
No. Affiliate partnerships help support the site, but conclusions are driven by buyer outcomes, policy clarity, and evidence. When a verdict is close, we favor the option that reduces regret the most.
How often is content updated?
Major comparisons are reviewed on a recurring schedule and updated when retailer policies, inventory presentation, or inspection tools change.
