I really liked the email, and the link that help return me to the site. I didnt have access to my card info while checking out and I had to put my phone away so I lost the tab. Fortunately, since I did give an email- they sent me a link that brought me back to where I was. Greatly appreciated

Found a beautiful opal at a great price. I was not disappointed when it arrived. Even better in person.

Always find more niche sizes/shapes as my unconventional designs require from this website. Recommending to fellow designers in the creative atmosphere on the usual, specially due to the quality and certification of gems.
