I ordered a matching pair for earrings. The stones are a beautiful, rich amber-brown, and the cut highlights the color well.

I purchased this and had it set into a ring. I got home today and found out it was elivered, and I was so happy. When I opened the package I nearly dropped to my knees. As a gem collector of 18 years, and a jewelry lover of 11, I never had a perfect gem or a piece of jewelry this beautiful. I owe it all to Africa Gems. If you love gemstones and jewelry, this is the best place to go. Great prices, high quality product, and the customer service is beyong anything I can or could ever get. I will forever be grateful for Marc. I could never thank him enough. If you see this Marc, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made me the most happiest man alive.

My only fault is that the product was listed as in stock but when I used the live chat I found that it wasn't. Everything else, including the live chat, was perfect

What a beautiful sapphire! Exactly what I was looking for and I can't wait to see it in the setting I selected.
Christina L - 12/17/2018
Great stones, quite gorgeous, but after crafting a ring with these stones, one of the stones has cracked, after just 3 or 4 days of wearing the ring
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
