I’ve purchased from GemSelect a few times in the past year. I would not shop anywhere else. The photos make all the difference…I can select the exact color I want. I have over 100 pieces, and I’ve never been less than thrilled with each gemstone.
I was looking for a gem to put in my grandmother's necklace for an event. GemSelect made it easy to narrow down what I was looking for, had a great price, and was very convenient.
Have always had a fascination with gemstones, and was looking for a good piece of labradorite. this site had a huge selection, and it was really hard to choose from, they also had a lot of gemstones you don't normally see, or are very hard to find. would totally use them if you're looking for pieces for jewelery.
O.K. experience. Pictures could be a little better, offer more views, especially full face on, to get a better idea of how a stone would look mounted in a ring, i.e., how centered the star is. The prices seem pretty fair.
I have found what I think is the best kept secret for buying stones, and I have to tell you about this gem stone site I found! There is a large selection of stones and crystals, and the best prices I have found for nuummite! They make it incredibly easy to find exactly what you are looking for by shape, size, cost, and clarity. I have already purchased two stones and I will be checking the site frequently from now on for everything and anything that I am hoping to find. They have individual pictures of every stone with different views so you absolutely know what you are buying.Honestly, I was hesitant to purchase something the first time BECAUSE the prices were so competitive and below anything I found elsewhere and because the stone was both being purchased online and from another country. I received the stone ahead of shipping schedule and when I received the package, it was in not one but two separate zip lock bags. One had the certificate of authenticity and details about the stone. The second had information about the stone itself. I was so impressed with the quality of the stone and that it was definitely the stone I picked out on their site, that I ordered another stone without hesitation. I will be using this site to purchase gifts for everyone I can think of! lol
Lots of pictures provide you with a detailed description of the items you're purchasing. I'm not knowledgeable on gems but just needed to satiate my curiosity. GemSelect made it quite easy.
If you want a gem that you can trust to not be treated, or if it is it’s disclosed this is the place! There’s something for everybody. I really like knowing that the picture of the item is the one I’m buying, not a sample or stock photo. If you make jewelry, buy gems here! You can even buy a gem and have it set by a jeweler. Again, they have an amazing inventory, and prices are more than fair. You won’t be disappointed! I just wish they sold uncut gems. Sometimes I just want a specimen in the crystal form. I’m surprised they had no quartz from Arkansas, but they have a great selection of anything I’ve ever looked for.
