Frequently asked questions

Are your stones natural ?

Yes all of our gemstones are completely natural earth mined stones. Wherever possible we also refuse lab treatments. There are certain stones that are generally always treated such as black opals and Blue topaz.

When will my order be shipped ?

We guarantee your order will be dispatched in no more than 3 business days. In most cases the dispatch time will be much faster. All of our orders include express shipping, and you will be provided a tracking number once your item/s have shipped.

Can you provide more information on certain products ?

Yes of course, just message me any inquiry and I'll be sure to answer in under 24 hours. If you need further pictures, video, measurements, or any specific inquiry, please let me know.

Where are your gemstones sourced from ?

I have made many contacts over my years of collecting gemstones. We source our stones from reputable suppliers from source countries, such as Sri Lanka, Brazil, Afghanistan , and Pakistan. In the case of opals our suppliers are in Ethiopia.

What happens if my parcel gets lost in the mail ?

In the unlikely event your package does not get delivered, you will be provided with a full refund once it's confirmed that you did not receive the package with the post office.

Are you compliant with German packaging laws ?

Germany - Verpackungsgesetz (LUCID Packaging Register)

In 2019 Germany’s Packaging Act VerpackG came into effect, imposing requirements on online retailers selling to buyers in Germany. The Packaging Act promotes recycling and reuse of packaging materials (e.g. cardboard boxes, tape, and bubble wrap).

My company Puritygems is registered at the Packaging Register of the Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Foundation Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) with registration number DE1451002723234. My Dual System Licensing partner for the collection, sorting & recycling of the packaging is ACTIVATE by RECLAY.

As consumer please ensure that all received packaging is disposed of in the right recycling containers.

Will I pay duty or custom charges ?

If you are outside USA or CANADA you may be asked to pay duty or custom charges at time of delivery or pickup. These rates vary depending on your country and are the responsibility of the buyer to pay.

Occasionally your item might also have to be processed through your customs department which can cause a delay. We kindly ask you to reach out to us if there is any delay on your order before leaving any reviews. We are extremely committed to providing a high level of service to all of our clients.
