They have a wonderful selection of gems of all sorts, shapes, cuts, and quality. I am very particular about the quality of stones I buy, and found many with VVS clarity and excellent cut and polish. I am thrilled with each of the stones I purchased, and would definitely recommend GemSelect to everyone.

On the clarity options it goes "and better" so if youre looking for si specifically and you click si and better it still shows you basically everything. It just removes the opaques. Itd be nice if it was vs only, vss only, si only, etc
