What Belongs In The Directory
Listings should represent stores or jewelers that sell, service, appraise, or design jewelry involving precious metals, diamonds, gemstones, pearls, fine watches, heirloom pieces, or comparable lasting materials.
Stores focused only on costume jewelry, plated fashion accessories, bead supplies, body jewelry, novelty gifts, or unrelated retail categories are not a fit for publication.
How Listings Are Sourced
A listing may begin from public-source data, owner-submitted information, manual review, or approved directory records. Public pages label the source basis where it matters and avoid adding unsupported ratings, inventory, certifications, prices, or service guarantees.
Sparse public-source records can remain published for discovery while being withheld from search-index sitemaps until the listing has enough useful facts to meet the directory quality threshold.
Corrections And Store Updates
Stores and buyers can suggest new listings through the listing request flow. Store representatives can use the claim/update flow for existing listings. Submitted details enter a private review queue and do not become public automatically.
The current review standard is intentionally conservative: richer facts such as hours, photos, materials, and service evidence should come from official, owner-submitted, association, reviewer-approved, or explicitly licensed sources.
