I am so happy to have found your website! I had no idea there was a place that would sell such beautiful gems stones at such a reasonable price. Had I gone to my local jeweler I'm sure it would have cost me so much more! Thank you again!!

Marquise Cut Genuine Amethyst in Grade A

View this product

Happy wife= happy life!

I bought this Amethyst stone to replace the one that was lost from my wife's ring I bought for her when we first met 28 yrs ago. She did not want a new ring because of sentimental reasons so I surprised her at Christmas by replacing the lost stone with the new one I ordered from you. Luckily I measured correctly and it fit perfectly. She is so happy now! Thanks for offering low prices on such beautiful stones!

Easy and quick transaction. Marc took helpful video of the stones to narrow them down. After searching for a sapphire stone for some time, I am thankful to do business with a reputable and ethical company.

Forever One Moissanite Colorless Round Cut

View this product

A tad more expensive than others offering this product, but still within the reasonable range. These gems are consistently beautiful.

Chatham Alexandrite Round Cut in Grade GEM

View this product

Chatham alexandrite can vary slightly from gem to gem; but mine was a fiery beauty, ranging from bluish green to purplish blue. Others can capture a more intense purple; but their daylight green is less brilliant, and their shimmer is slightly more muted. A great price for these gems.
