Has anyone bought gems from http://www.gemselect.com?? I am new to PS and colored stones are so much more confusing than diamonds! I've looked at some of the vendors people buy from and the prices seem to vary a lot depending on who's cutting the stone. Help!
Hi Alisonia, welcome to PS! If you use the search function you might see posts from those who've bought from Gemselect.

I've added Jeff Davies from Fine Gemstones and Jewelry store on ebay. Great to deal with and excellent communication. Photos and videos are included in all the listings and are true to real life. Prices are also great but not "too good to be true".
Some recommended vendors keep getting dropped. I would advocate scanning through earlier pages to get all contributors' recommendations. I''m adding one back-in and modifying one.
I have re-alphabetized only the Cutters/ Gemstone Dealers. I am lazy and do not care about the other sections, and it will give someone else something to do.
Please add a brief notation of what was edited as it is helpful for others who are reading to spot the update right away. I noticed that a few custom setting vendors were dropped from the original listing and added them back in, and also corrected a link.
Sorry Chrono. Most recently I added Steve Wallner of westviewgems and corrected a long standing error of the name of the proprietor of thegemtrader. His name is Payne, but it was listed as Pailey

I have not revised the list at all, just copied and pasted so its clearly visible to those looking for the list.

I added Hemi Englisher's name to his Gemcal listing.
UGG sorry minousbijoux, I did not realize I could not just recommend another vendor. Please feel free to remove my previous post. Sorry i read your post late.
merlin123, you absolutely CAN add a vendor to the list. It is especially nice that you've already shared the details of your experience with the vendor in your own thread. Some of us like to keep the form of this thread consistent and up to date, so I will incorporate your added vendor into the most recent list and re-post the entire updated list.
Hello- I am new to this forum and am looking to find a 5.5-6mm round Montana Sapphire that is light green blue or blue green. The ring will be custom and part of a three stone bezel cut ring. The jeweler I'm working with has the two other stones. I have found many beautiful stones on Gemfix and wildfish gems, thanks to this forum. Has anyone worked with sellers on Etsy. MontainMommaGems seems to have an amazing selection and am interested in hearing any positive experiences others have had with this seller. If I am posting in the wrong forum, could you kindly point me in the right direction.
Thank you!!!
