My only complaint is that there are so many beautiful and affordable stones that I get distracted from what I planned to order.

I love Gem Select! When you order what you see is what you get. As soon as you make payment that particular gem is taken off the photo album. That way the one you select is a one of that kind.

Great experience shopping and finding what I was looking for, the only improvement I could think of would be allowing to filter more than one size at a time.
