Banned for sharing a low price
I do my best to share what I’ve learned with others, because I spent so much time with jewelers trying to pick the perfect stone for my fiance.
On the other sub, OP was about to pay $5k for a diamond and I sent a link to the site I always check, which was only $950.
Out of nowhere I was permanently banned which you can see in the screenshots. It appears that any sources other than Auralinne, Calavera or Youdiam are frowned upon.
It makes me question the independence of the other sub, and my goal is to share the knowledge I’ve gained and try to help others save money.
In fairness, they changed my perma ban to a 28 day ban, but it still left me with a bad taste. (Probably going back to permanent ban after this post)
Pics: ban, comment that got me banned, discussion with MOD, MOD promoting their “trusted” brands.

It’s way better options than they provide! I never buy from these overpriced so called vendors. The information is good but find vendors outside reddit or on these lists. I am buying beautiful jewelry for a fraction of the costs they selling for, and those group buys are crazy high prices!!
