For gem web photos - - it would help some inexperienced gem buyers like me to show the gem next to a common object such as a US dime for example. Two of the blue star sapphires I purchased are not suited for ring mounting - - way too small. Now I know to purchase a caret weight of about 12 to 20 carets.
It is amazing to see the vast quantity of gemstones available in a wide variety of sizes and at a variety of price points. Overall GemSelect is a stellar place to find that perfect gem
I wanted to buy some gems because I think theya'd be cool to have and this seemed like the best website to buy them from. The website is a bit old looking and could use an update to the user interface but otherwise ita's great.
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.
