Took a chance on purchasing my gemstones from Gemselect and was impressed. 10/10
Overall Rating -> 10
I searched for the size, dimensions and quality of the stones I was looking for and then compared and ordered.
Overall Rating -> 9 
The purchasing process is fairly quick and straightforward and for me user friendly so it probably took more or less than 3 minutes to purchase and pay for the items. I wish there was a discount offer for multiple items to encourage us buyers to purchase more an incentive and add more sales in your end. Besides that, it's been a great purchasing experience and will continue to shop as I am a repeat customer and have bought from your store many times before. Thank you.

First time using this website. It was both exciting finding things in my price range and things Iam gonna save up for and use in other pieces. I love that the picture of the gem is the exact gem I'll be buying. I haven't tested the gems yes but they said they sold me 100% natural gems.
