Jewelry Television
I have purchased many parcels in the past from JewelryTV. The best deals at Jewelry Television imho are when you purchase the same size & shape. Over the years I've especially enjoyed good deals on my peridot, andalusite and small mandarin garnet purchases. I'm not a fan of TV so I'll just go to their website when I wanted some smaller to mid size stones to make earrings. The website provides some outstanding prices.The gemstone kits contain a mixed bag of different gemstones. They toss all the loose stones into a bucket as they call it. Most are good to excellent. But there are exceptions. Go over them with your gem tools. Return those that are cracked, broken, have poor faceting and polishing. Jewelry Television is very good about refunding your money fully & promptly. Jewelry TV does stand behind all of their items with a 100% money back guarantee if not satisfied. After you've sorted through your gems-- grab their envelope and get it ready to ship back for a refund with a few comments.
