I found the filter options excellent. Yours was the third site I visited (asked chat got for reputable online sellers of loose gems) and the first I purchased from as I was able to easily find what I was looking for.

GemSelect offers excellent choices, prices & service- highly recommended! Unfortunately, prior to ordering a replacement gemstone, my jeweler neglected to mention it needed to be one that was a'cushion cuta' to fit the existing mount. Have yet to return/exchangea'

Although the stones are smaller than I thought, I really don't think in millimeters, they are perfect. I plan to put one into a ring and the other into a necklace. Ordering was easy, contact kept me aware of how shipping was going, and delivery was sooner than expected. The quality of stones I have ordered in the past and this recent order is outstanding and stones I will be proud to wear.
