FAQ

Are the finders accurate?

They encode standard gemology and the decision rules good jewelers use, and they are honest about being guidance. Millimeter figures come from standard proportion tables; a specific stone’s report always outranks a chart.

Why no prices anywhere?

Stone prices move weekly, and a page with stale numbers is worse than no numbers. The budget finder works in allocation and order of operations instead, which stays true regardless of the market.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing here requires signup, nothing is saved, and the tools run entirely on your device in the browser.

How does the site make money?

Retailer links on the where-to-buy page are affiliate links, disclosed there and in the footer. The finders themselves recommend specifications, not stores.

Can a finder be wrong?

Sure: a quiz is four questions, a human is more than four answers. Treat results as a strong starting point, then let her taste overrule anything. Her taste is the real spec sheet.
