Found on a search engine. Scanned inventory and made a small purchase.

over the experience was similar to other sites i have used. The only real note I have is the checkout experience was tedious and discriminatory, i wouldn't accept visa gift cards, which not only have guaranteed funds but help protect from misuse of personal information, but would not accept my visa b/c it is a prepaid card. I don't have bank account and I have been using the prepaid card for years without issue so this was disappointing to me. I feel safer using reputable gem sites rather than amazon or ebay (I have been sold fake gems with fake certs on both), but not being able to use my own valid legitimate funds and having to find a friend to buy for me b/c I use a non-bank card like 40% of the country is insulting.

So many gorgeous stones! The only "complaint" I have is it's difficult to visualize sizes in mm. Perhaps some way to compare in inches?It has been a long time since I bought stones from Gem select, but the process wasn't too difficult.

My first purchase went well. I will purchase more gems in the future.

Purchasing from Gem Select was a pleasant and easy experience. The photos of the stones I was interested in were an accurate depiction of the stones I received. Ordering was easy and the items arrived within a week. Over all it was a very positive experience.

Everything was good but since I am still new I was surprised at how small the stones where.

I had a great time searching all the lovely stones. This is my first precious loose stone purchase for my own work. I chose sapphire, and found some lovely briolettes. I wanted 3, but this set of 4 was perfect. Everything was quick and easy, and I'm excited.

Fantastic dealer for quality gemstones. Website is easy to navigate, selection is superb, delivery of purchases is prompt. Easy to select incorrect payment options, however.

The selection and filtering is a little overwhelming, but that's only because there is so much to choose from.
