Hello,
I''m a newbie and I want to start a collection of coloured gemstones.
Is there anyone to advise on online shops ?
Where can I buy online coloured gemstones ?
What are the good web sites ?

Thanks

Richard Homer does fantastic cuttings... absolutely to die for!! A lot of people have gotten gems from the natural sapphire company and have said good things, I''ve also heard about Jeff White being good to work with

good luck

Hi, I can think of a few but haven''t actually bought from most of these. Still they should be fun for you to browse and maybe you''ll wind up buying from one or two.
acstones.com
customgemstones.com
ajsgems.com
cherrypicked.com
gemfix.com
thegemtrader.com
forevergemstones.com is that it or is it forevergems.com?
atggems.com
I know there are more but thats al I can come up with right now. I''m sure others will have some ideas too.

Add in:

artcutgems.com
palagems.com - it''s trade only, but one of my favourites.
multicolour.com (you''ll need to hunt carefully here)

I started out scanning the list found here. Some of the sites are now defunct and some have had their address changed but it''s still a surprisingly good list for being posted 4 years ago.

I hadn''t been to gemwow in a while and wasn''t going to add them to the list because I felt the quality had gone down but look at this beautiful rose quartz!

Also, www.wildfishgems.com for unheated, natural gemstones.

And, Jeff White is at www.whitesgems.com

It''s forevergemstones.com I have a stone up in one of my browsers from them...
