      Evaluate your options. Make sure you are working with a seller who will stand by their products. The best wholesalers will offer exchanges or refunds on their gemstones. Also look for a wholesaler that has the skills to handle the importing/exporting paperwork required for shipping gemstones from China to the U.S. This will save you a lot of time and trouble.

    I know China is the least expensive and best source for gemstones unless you are looking for AA grade. I am searching for a supplier for mostly opaque gemstones to start my own business. There are many worries about dealing with China so I wanted to ask if you could elaborate more on the steps given above to source gems from China? I would love to find a great source without getting ripped off or any of the many things that could happen when dealing overseas to source any item. If you could, would you please give us more information on this subject? Maybe more steps to the process and more safety tips? Anything at all would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tammy
