Website Disclaimer

Last updated: 30.05.25

Welcome to WhatTheGem.com!

This website documents my personal journey as an aspiring gemologist. I am not a certified gemologist or gem appraiser, and the information provided here is for informational and entertainment purposes only. I use my own privately owned instruments and gem collection to explore and learn about gemology, and I share this process as a hobby—primarily through TikTok and Instagram.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as professional advice, a gemological appraisal, or a scientifically verified conclusion. I do my best to be accurate, but I make no guarantees of completeness, reliability, or accuracy. You should consult a qualified professional before making any decisions related to gemstones or gemological testing.
