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.
I wanted to buy some gems because I think they’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 it’s great.
Through my Gemology course at OSU, I found this website and thought it's layout was appealing, as well as the amount of gems that are offered. Purchasing one was easy and simple, and I'll most likely do it again some time.
I highly recommend GemSelect. I have never had a bad experience with any of my purchases. Any stone I have ever purchased had looked just like the photo or better in real live and thats a huge plus.
