Editorial policy

We create clear, useful jewellery content, label commercial relationships and correct meaningful errors when they are found.

Accuracy

Measurements and calculations are checked, while material variation and assumptions are stated where they matter.

Originality

Articles and visual materials are produced for ShiningBeads. Sources and specialist references will be credited when relied upon.

Images and jewellery claims

Editorial styling images help readers picture an outfit, palette or project. We do not use a decorative image as proof of a gemstone’s identity, value, provenance or historical ownership. Articles about named royal, museum or vintage pieces will use attributed reference material. We will not substitute an invented lookalike.

Corrections

Meaningful corrections are made promptly. Readers will be able to contact us through the published contact page.
