“Everything was good, the only thing that I could complain about was that the size chart for the gems does not appear when you click it. I'm not sure if it is because I was on my phone, but that would be my only complaint. Everything else was good.”

“We purchased a beautiful 5.33 ct stone for our 25th wedding anniversary. Marc was very helpful answering my questions pre & post purchase. Shipping was fast, same day. I am enjoying reviewing all the setting options. I would recommend Africa Gems for beautiful responsibly sourced gems at a great value.
Thank you.”
