Fact-Checking & Corrections Policy | Oshinic

Last updated: June 2026

At Oshinic Jewels, accuracy and trust are the cornerstones of our educational platform. We recognize that the fine jewelry industry is filled with complex terminology, varying grading standards, and significant financial implications for consumers. This policy outlines our rigorous approach to fact-checking and our commitment to transparency when correcting errors.

1. Our Fact-Checking Process

Before any guide, review, or article is published on Oshinic Jewels, it undergoes a strict editorial process:

Expert Authorship: Content is researched and written by our founder, Bishnu Tudu, a jewelry researcher and SEO writer dedicated to gemological accuracy.
Primary Sources: We rely on authoritative industry bodies for technical information, including the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the American Gem Society (AGS), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Jewelry Guides.
Source Verification: Before publication, every factual claim is individually verified against primary industry sources - GIA, IGI, AGS, or FTC guidance - rather than taken at face value.
Continuous Updates: We routinely review our most popular content to ensure pricing data, industry standards, and product availability remain accurate over time.

2. Our Commitment to Accuracy

We strive for 100% accuracy in our reporting. We do not publish rumors, unverified claims, or misleading marketing copy provided by brands. When discussing subjective matters (like the "beauty" of a diamond cut), we clearly distinguish between objective gemological facts and subjective editorial opinions.

3. Corrections Policy

Despite our best efforts, errors occasionally occur. When they do, we are committed to correcting them promptly, transparently, and comprehensively.

Minor Errors: Typographical, grammatical, or formatting errors that do not change the meaning of the content are corrected immediately without an editorial note.
Factual Corrections: If an article contains a factual error (e.g., incorrect carat weight, misstating an FTC guideline, or misidentifying a gemstone treatment), we will correct the text and append a clear "Correction" note at the bottom of the article. This note will explain what was changed and when.
Significant Updates: If new industry standards or gemological discoveries significantly alter the premise of an older article, we will thoroughly rewrite the piece and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page.
