How We Earn Revenue

Jewelry Refined is a participant in affiliate programs with luxury resale platforms including Fashionphile, The RealReal, 1stDibs, and Vestiaire Collective. When you click a link from our site to one of these platforms and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This affiliate revenue allows us to keep every guide, designer profile, and authentication walkthrough free for readers โ€” and to invest in deeper editorial research over time.

Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations

While we earn commissions from our partner platforms, our recommendations are based solely on quality, trustworthiness, and value. We only partner with platforms we'd personally use and recommend to friends and family.

Editorial content is created independently and is not influenced by affiliate partnerships. If a platform doesn't meet our standards, we won't recommend it โ€” regardless of commission potential.

How Affiliate Links Work

Throughout our site, you'll find links marked with phrases like "Shop on Fashionphile" or "Visit The RealReal". These are affiliate links. When you:

  • Click an affiliate link from our site
  • Are directed to the partner's website
  • Make a purchase within the platform's referral window (typically 24โ€“30 days)

We receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you'd visited the partner's site directly.

Our recommendations are based on quality and trustworthiness โ€” never on commission rates. If we wouldn't buy from a platform ourselves, we won't ask you to.

Your Privacy

Affiliate links may use cookies to track referrals. These cookies are managed by our partner platforms and governed by their privacy policies. We do not receive personal information about your purchases beyond aggregate reporting on commission earnings.

Thank you for your trust

Transparent affiliate relationships are how independent editorial sites survive. Every recommendation we publish is one we'd stake our names on.
