I was able to get exactly what I wanted in two sizes from this company. Usually I have trouble obtaining different sizes from one company but Curious Gems had a great variety and exactly what I wanted. Quickly delivery and well packaged. Great company will use again.

First time order but not the last
First time order but not the last! The semi-precious gem beads I received were beyond my expectations. Great range of products and the delivery was very fast. I’m just now working out what else I need in order to make my next order!

This company is so helpful
This company is so helpful. I forgot to add some items to my order so dropped them an email and they were so accommodating. Items added whilst retaining the bulk buy discount, a separate payment link sent over and everything packaged and delivered promptly. Everything arrived in great condition as well. After shopping around a bit for gemstone beads these guys really do work out cheaper as well.
I do wish they had a slightly larger range of smooth round beads in 4,6 & 8mm. But otherwise these guys are great.

A great business with a good range of quality products for jewellery makers..
The Curious Gem supply a very good range of quality jewellery makers supplies. I always recommend them to any jewellery makers looking for an extensive range of findings, components, gemstones and tools. Ordering is easy and despatch is reliably within 1-2 days of placing an order. Delivery is very reasonably priced too. Their customer service is friendly and very helpful if you need any advice at all.

Utterly reliable
The Curious Gem ONLY sells high-quality jewellery components: well described, honestly photographed, with background information in most cases. They cost a little more (not too much!) and this is justified by the fact that you never get a dud and their service is fabulous.

Fabulous products and great prices
I am a fairly novice jewellery maker and, so far, have only ordered a few items from The Curious Gem. I have to say though that the quality of their goods is excellent, and the selection of gemstones is superb. I just wish I was a bit more experienced so I could take advantage of their gorgeous products. The website is also very good and I feel like "a child in a sweet shop" when I look at it. Hopefully will be able to buy more when I am more knowledgeable.

First class service all round. I have had one or two small orders of half drilled pearls. Pearls were beautifully matched and have made 3 lovely pairs of earrings.
