Hello

I'm looking to buy gemstones, but am finding that the prices for the same sized stone vary so much between 3 or 4 reputable suppliers. E.g. the same sized stone ranges from £15, to £40 to £65 depending on where I look.

As a general rule, does this mean than the higher price you pay from a reputable supplier, the better quality the stone?

Not really sure whether to go for the most I can afford or find the best bargain?

Thanks..
