"My experience was very positive! I purchased a rare gem stone for an engagement ring which is of high quality as Marc promised, not to mention for a great price compared to local jewelers. Marc was very responsive to my several questions :) and provided great customer services. I would highly recommend AfricaGems.com and will look here first for future purchases."

"I’ve only bought four (3mm and 4mm) coral cabochons so far, but the quality is phenomenal. I’m a beginning jeweler, and it’s been hard for me to find personal contacts at the outset, so it means a lot to me to find a place that sources and sells 100% genuine, truly high quality gemstones, thank you."

"I have now made several purchases from Africa Gems. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of merchandise and the customer service. I was hesitant at first to buy such valuable items online. Now that I have done it, and dealt with Marc the owner directly, I am extremely satisfied. I will buy more from Africa Gems in the future."

"Marc from AfricaGems was incredible. I was looking for a pretty specific oval peacock sapphire, and Marc not only had the gem but set it perfectly in an incredible diamond halo. He responded to my emails quickly (often in less than 3 minutes!). When I purchase my next gem, I will absolutely contact Marc. I absolutely love my ring, and he really made it a work of art. "
