When I could not find a good matched pair, Customer Service (Thomas Dahlberg) responded with a selection of beautiful singles, which I also needed, and I found just the right stone for my ring. This means he actually read my email! So unusual these days. So very welcome.
The sight has a great selection of stones at a variety of price points. It was easy for me to find affordable stones for gem identification practice as well as some fun pieces for my collection. Very happy with GemSelect!
