I was able to select my price range which made it easier to shop for gems that were in my budget. The checkout was easy and simple.
My order was late by a few days, even though I paid extra for express shipping. Everything else was fantastic though, stones arrived beautifully packaged and I was pleasantly surprised that information cards were included for each stone. Fabulous :)
