If you want a gem that you can trust to not be treated, or if it is ita's disclosed this is the place! Therea's something for everybody. I really like knowing that the picture of the item is the one Ia'm buying, not a sample or stock photo. If you make jewelry, buy gems here! You can even buy a gem and have it set by a jeweler. Again, they have an amazing inventory, and prices are more than fair. You wona't be disappointed! I just wish they sold uncut gems. Sometimes I just want a specimen in the crystal form. Ia'm surprised they had no quartz from Arkansas, but they have a great selection of anything Ia've ever looked for.
Its been a while since last time I bought at Gem Select. Years ago Derek Lee attended me and always was a great experience. He and his team always helped me to follow up my order and fulfilled all my needs and requests. Hope he is still around! Thank you all and keep the good work!
I make wire wrapped pendants for birthday presents, and always feature a birthstone as the base for the project. GemSelect has a wide variety of shape/size pieces to fit any budget. A detailed description of each individual stone is perfect for those searching for particular stones for their application, and information on stone treatments and the like are phenomenal.
The website is very easy to use, easy to find by color, calibrated size, etc. Easy checkout with PayPal (many gem merchants do not accept this payment form). Uses standardized clarity scale, etc.
I highly recommend GemSelect. I have never had a bad experience with any of my purchases. Any stone I have ever purchased had looked just like the photo or better in real live and thats a huge plus.
Lots of pictures provide you with a detailed description of the items you're purchasing. I'm not knowledgeable on gems but just needed to satiate my curiosity. GemSelect made it quite easy.
