Welcome to Your Diamond Guru

Diamond enthusiast and devotee to my wife, I’m Richard Jenkins, the man behind Your Diamond Guru. It’s not often I get to tell the story of how I coined this moniker, but the clue is definitely in the name.

My interest in diamonds started when I was looking for a diamond engagement ring for my fiancée many years ago; I was totally out of my depth looking for a piece that not only fit my price range but complemented her beauty even more so. Without much knowledge of what to prioritize on my purchasing journey and not many high-quality concierge services to choose from, it was up to me.

After initially reading an article about the 4c’s to find my bearings, it didn’t stop there. I purchased many books about diamonds, frantically reading about their history and what makes them such a fascinating treasure. 

Not long after purchasing a beautiful diamond ring for my fiancé, I became the go-to person for friends, family and even friends of friends for tips and advice on buying the best diamonds for engagement rings.

Since then, I’ve invested many of my years studying diamonds, settings and where to buy the very best of them from. It’s become my personal aspiration to provide the unbiased reviews and resources that I wish I had when popping the question. 

Through my own journey, I learnt the majority of men tend to focus on the size of the diamond because they assume that the bigger the diamond is, the greater the impact. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case – diamonds don’t make it so easy. There are so many different factors you should consider; color, cut, clarity, carat and certification all have their place.

All the information that you need to make an informed purchasing decision is published right here on this site, but if you’re ever unsure or have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. Helping people is something that I enjoy and that’s why I decided to launch the Your Diamond Guru website in the first place. I’m here to support you in getting a better diamond for your budget.
