Anyone shopped at The Gem Trader?

If so, were you happy? They seem to have some very nice stones! I thought I read a good review here a few months ago but I can't find it now!

I don''t have anything to offer but thought perhaps people missed your query.

Yes, I have. Brad is very honest and wonderful to work with. I purchased a pear Mozambique paraiba that was very beautiful. However, I returned it because I found the famed windex blue one and decided to stick with that one, plus it''s a larger 2 ct plus paraiba.

The return was very straightforward and I''d love to buy more gemstones from him.

thank you both very much!
He''s been delightful over email. It''s great to hear that a PSer had a very good experience too. Thanks Chrono!

He doesn''t have quite what I''m looking for right now but is keeping an eye out for me. Well, he has a tanzanite that is exactly the size and shape that I want, great price, and I like the color too, but I think it may be wiser to stick with a sapphire for its durability. (This is for a bezel set RHR). I do really like the tanzanite - will have to keep thinking about it!

I have also met him in person -- wonderful, very knowledgable person. Great experience and will buy from him again!
