Community Standards for Participation

Gem Shopping Network provides a platform and community for jewelry lovers to see and learn about jewelry. The number of pieces shown, the styles and periods represented, and the uniqueness of the gemstones are unmatched.

You do not need to make a purchase to join our community! Should you want to participate in online chats, we require that you register with us on our website (you must be at least 18 years old to sign up). Please note that when you use our website, you are also subject to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

Registered users on GemShopping.com who participate in our community features (for example, live chats), are solely responsible for their conduct and for the content of their postings. GSN is not responsible for reviewing the content of postings across interactive interfaces. We reserve the right to delete postings or threads that we deem to be in violation of our Community Guidelines or that are otherwise unacceptable to us. We further reserve the right to suspend or remove the privileges of users who violate our guidelines and will report indiscretions to the appropriate authorities.

Community Guidelines

Please keep posts relevant to the topic. This makes it easier for others to follow the conversation.
Be respectful and courteous to others, even if you disagree with them. Do not use language or post content that is unkind or in poor taste, and don’t engage in personal attacks. We encourage you to treat others the way that you want to be treated.
Individuals can only register with one unique screen name tied to one email address When choosing your screen name, do not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with a third party. Do not post personal or any other information that you do not wish to have made public, for example: do not post any Personally Identifiable Information, including, but not exclusive to, last names, address, telephone number, email address, social security number, GSN account number, or birthday.
Do not publish personal information of others without their consent.
Do not solicit, encourage or ask others to post a rating or review.
Do not post a rating or review if you have received compensation in any form (including monetary, free product, coupons, or other incentives) from an Interested Party.
Do not engage in harassing, threatening, abusive, violent, discriminatory (racist, sexist, etc.), hostile, or defamatory language or behavior that would be considered inappropriate. Do not use language or post content that is profane, sexually explicit, obscene, pornographic, vulgar, or offensive.
Do not post web addresses (URLs) for, or links to, outside sites.
Do not re-post deleted messages.
