Top class service and quality products. Ordered yesterday for engraved items, had an immediate response to a query, phone call to check a detail and the parcel still arrived first thing this morning! Very happy customer, thank you.

I often purchase my jewellery making supplies from Curious Gem. They provide a large variation of products that I can't find elsewhere and the quality is always great! I have only once had a problem, and it was resolved immediately.

Thank you so much for the prompt service and delivery of three sterling silver alphabet charms. I ordered them for a gift for a friend's special birthday and they are lovely. She will be thrilled.

I have been using this company to buy most of my findings for about two years now. I purchase fairly frequently (most weeks) and I have never been disappointed. Excellent, well run company. Thank you, Helena.

I was hesitant to buy findings online, but the huge selection and free returns convinced me to give it a try. I have already ordered twice more since my first order and am still impressed by the great quality, neat packaging and outstanding customer service! Thank you, Victoria! I will definitely order again!

Got some Sterling silver bezels and a few gems which were opal, Amethyst and a ruby all of cabochon style, I used a very accurate refractometer to check the the stones both the opal and Amethyst checked out but the Ruby was a lab created ruby, still looked nice but no where did it specify if it was natural or lab, it cost me €4.23 for a 3mm lab ruby.. Which is far too much, everything else was fine! but maybe there should be something that lets buyers know if gems or lab or natural.
