Complaint Review: GemSelect

I wish I had known about this website before.

I bought an expensive Sapphire from GemSelect in September. I intended to have a ring made and give it to my fiance.

I purchased the Sapphire and when it was delivered it looked very bright and lovely. However, I dont know anything about gemstones and just had to take a gamble and trust the retailer.

However this was a big mistake. When I took the sapphire to my local jeweler he said '' how much did you pay for this '' ? I told him. He said ' I have some bad news for you ...you've been ripped off...its 100% SYNTHETIC ..!!..''.

I didnt know what he meant but he said you can actually make fake sapphires in a lab and most on-line retailers do this as its easy to fool customers. I was so angry !

I contacted GemSelect but so far I haven't had one single response. When I called them a foreign guy said something I didn't understand and then hung up.

I am presently in the middle of a legal battle with them to get my money back.

Don't waste your money buying fake stones 'On-Line'.

There are too many criminal websites. Use a normal shop where you can see, feel and test the gemstones.
