I've ordered from The Curious Gem multiple times now and every single time it's gone smoothly, the items have always been very high quality and delivered quickly and securely for a reasonable price. This is now my go-to for jewellery supplies, a really wide range of products on the website too.

Brilliant Company
I have used this Company on and off for a few years. Not another one like it. First rate gem stones, silver and gold. Excellent customer service and speedy delivery. I have recently got back into the swing of jewellery making ( I am in my late 70's by the way so never too late to give things a go } and at a recent family gathering was asked where I got my supplies from. My youngest daughter answered before I could say anything so I must talk about them a lot !!!

The Curious Gem is a wonderful Company, I have been buying from them for a number of years. Honest reliable, very informative. Their products that i buy are of the highest quality gemstones, silver, gold, and much more. There is always detailed information on each product grade, origin,etc.. which is very important.
( other sellers exclude this info) Customer Service and shipping is excellent, kind communicative, professional, and consistent. I would highly recommend this great Company to anyone looking for Jewellery supplies and gemstones.
Thank you very much to The Curious Gem for your excellent Service and products!.

Very fast and efficient service.
Easy to manoeuvre website.
I had to buy some 14ct gold open jump rings as replacements for my daughter's bracelet. The site was easy to use and it was clear what I was buying. The rings came by post the very next day.
I would not hesitate to recommend the site.

I have used The Curious Gem for a year or so now, they are my first go to for Sterling silver findings, and the occasional gemstones.
Just discovered their half strand sale, too late as usual! They really do have some wonderful high quality gems, managed to secure some topaz, knowing they will be of high quality!
Just wish you had a shop in Edinburgh!
Maybe it's a good job you don't! I would be spending a fortune!!!
Keep up the good work CG.

High quality gems, highly recommended
High quality gems, well described, very fairly priced, with good clear photographs which you can zoom into. The information of a gems origin, treatment if any (eg if it has been heated) is given. A lot of their gems have had no treatment which is fantastic. Packing is excellent, despatch fast with great customer service. Bought over several years and will continue to do so - highly recommended.
