Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.

Packaging and presentation

Loose pieces come in a sealed pouch with the carat weight on the invoice; rings and pendants arrive in a gift box. If the order is a present, tell us and we will leave the price off the packing slip. Every parcel is photographed before sealing so you can compare what left us with what arrived.

Sizes, settings and matching pieces

Most pieces are available loose or set in silver as a ring, pendant or bracelet; tell us the finger size or chain length and the setting is made to order in 3–5 working days. If you need a matched pair or a specific carat weight for an astrological prescription, send the details and we will suggest what is in stock or source it for you.

A note on natural variation

Two natural stones are never identical. Small inclusions, slight colour zoning and minor differences in cut are part of what proves a stone is genuine rather than glass or synthetic, and they are visible in our daylight photos. What never varies is the weight on the invoice, the honest description of treatment, and your right to inspect the parcel before paying.
