Gem Selects is a great place to buy loose gems and seems to have a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and color as well as reasonable prices. Though I only dabble in making earrings this is my purchase from here and I love the pieces I have bought - 6 pairs of various gems. I am sure I'll be back.
I believe this market could grow very large in the wake of cryptocurrencies as gold and silver become less popular. I believe birthstones will begin to increase in popularity for jewelry and meaningful trinkets. I think this website should consider another metric that gauges how "raw" the mineral/gem/stone/etc. is-- how processed it has been. Some people may want to get the raw material from a specific location, know its history, and contract someone to refine it into a personal keepsake.
I very much enjoy shopping for the wide variety of beautiful gems on GemSelect. I am excited to receive my purchases and eager to purchase more in the future. I see great value in the gems I have seen and agree with the spot-on pricing as opposed to other sites I have visited.
I was looking for a gemstone called Sphene/Titanite and found it on GemSelect. They had many gems to choose from and had good prices. I received my order a little later than expected but given that it's coming from overseas I wasn't too worried. The 2 gems I received are beautiful. I have to say that I have no gem knowledge- I am a novice and I ordered the Sphene for healing purposes, so I am hoping they are real. I have no way of confirming if that is true. But they are beautiful!
Huge selection of gemstones. This is my go to site for gems that aren't available through online retailers like Rio or Stuller. Perfect for custom and one of a kind pieces.
first time using the site. Sorting the stones by color shape and size is super easy. And would definitely recommend to someone who has an idea of what they are looking for but is also looking for multiple options.
The website is very easy to use, easy to find by color, calibrated size, etc. Easy checkout with PayPal (many gem merchants do not accept this payment form). Uses standardized clarity scale, etc.
gem selection is pretty great, prices are unbelievably low, however the cut of some gems is questionable at best. you have to dig for the good ones, but it’s worth it for the price
