Prices and Discounts

We offer you consistently low prices on our entire inventory. The total cost of a gemstone is determined by adding the Icgems.com price (displayed in the gemstone detail page) and the cost of shipping the item to you. The shipping cost varies depending on the method you have chosen.

The main price quoted on our website is in U.S, dollars. You can choose to display indicative prices in one of your preferred currency. However, the credit card transaction will be completed in sterling (British pounds) and will be converted at your bank´s prevailing exchange rate.

Items in your Shopping Cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item´s product detail page.

We indicate discounted gemstones by displaying "List Price", "Our Price& (or the price for which we are selling the item), and "You Save" (the difference between List Price and Our Price). We do not offer additional discounts on large orders of a single item or on large orders of many individual items.
