BillyCanstones:
Did you know the word “GEMS” means rock, Gems essentially refer to the preciousness of particular stones due to their unique natural chemical compositions and characteristics. Part of the inspiration for the brand name ‘BillyCanstones’ also comes from the ancient city of Petra, Greece – a remarkable treasure of our shared history, and a majestic display of exquisite colors of rocks that gives the city the name “Petra.”

Background:
The founder of BillyCanstones, Billy, has a deep love for natural gemstones, especially precious stones like Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds,Sapphires, golds and Silvers
Billy started trading diamonds and fine jewelry online during the early 2000s. As Billy developed his skills and started to feel more confident about e-commerce as well as the trade of diamonds, he started the process of developing a full site for BillyCanstones in 2002. Subsequently, he developed trading relationships with all major diamond mining and manufacturers globally and sold millions of worth diamonds, golds and Silvers online. Billy has worked with most sightholders.
By 2018, BillyCanstones has become an online authority on the subject of diamond education and the diamond trade as a whole. We have had exposure to every aspect of the fine jewelry industries in the world. In the early part of the decade, we sold pre-owned and estate jewelry which gave us firsthand knowledge of the quality of jewelry offered by all major designers online. We then worked with all major diamond wholesalers and suppliers and got a comprehensive understanding of the wholesale prices of diamonds and fine jewelry.
We take three important factors into consideration when we recommend online jewelers to our viewers, including 1) quality of long term customer service; 2) product quality; and 3) fairness of price. Cheap is not the ideal option, but fair is. We believe when cheap is considered as the top priority, jewelers will compromise on quality to get you the cheap price, otherwise big discounts are just not possible in today’s marketplace where the maximum markup is just about 20%. You get what you pay for is often true.
In the long term, diamonds are going to fall out of your mounting; the jewelry is going to need repairs etc. You need a jeweler that you can rely on in the long run.
How does BillyCanstones work as an affiliate with other sites?
Among others, digital marketing can be broken down into three broad categories:
Pay per Click type ads through Google//Bing’s search/display networks etc.
Social Media Marketing through Facebook and Instagram etc.
Affiliate Marketing through other sites/blogs. You pay a fixed commission on each qualifying sell that the site refers to your site.
Now you must be wondering can BillyCanstones be objective and unbiased in its assessment if they are paid a commission from a particular site.
Yes, we can be objective because all brands have an affiliate program and they offer, more or less, the same type of incentives. We can sign up to be an affiliate for any site we wish. We will be very selective and will only refer sites that we are fully familiar with and ones whose products we have physically inspected and traded in the past.
