I like the site, it's easy to navigate. There are sometimes items I'm looking for that aren't there, but mostly I can find what I need.

I was looking for a site with every type of gem I could want for setting in luxury blades and assumed I would need to look outside the US, but GemSelect made it easy to get everything I wanted without leaving the house! Wide enough selection that I do not feel the need to look elsewhere and pricing the same.
