I've purchased things from GemSelect before. What you see is what you get, which is not always the case with gem sites online. You can find some good value with gem select, and I will buy from them again.

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'

I needed a very specific color of tourmaline and Gem Select had it. I had to get the client to agree and then ordered the stone. It arrived better than pictured and we all were very happy.
