Testimonials

I just received my order [Order ID: 18785] of Larimar nuggets and a Larimar heart-shaped pendant. They are absolutely gorgeous! And your website's representation of them was spot on; they look exactly as they looked on-line and that is rare. It is difficult to always get a true view of what's being purchased but you've done it. Your site has some unusual gemstones and I'll definitely visit/buy again.

Dear Magpie friends,
I am just over the moon about the grade AAA rhodochrosite you got in ! Pink is one of my favorite colors and I have always wanted a really fine Rhody specimen to work up. I found it today @ Turquoise Magpie. Already wrote a testimonial last year, but I must again thank you for your gorgeous gemstones, 100% reliable quality ( & honesty if they aren't perfect ), speed of delivery, and just generally great and friendly service. Unfortunately it isn't often enough that one finds a company that embodies these business practices ......no matter what their hype may want you to believe. Y'all are -as the kids say now - "Epic !" Love ya', Janet

The beads always arrive in a timely manner. I've always purchased from the website, and mostly from the Super Sales and have been impressed with the high quality of the product. Sometimes, you never know what you are going to get when an item is on a clearance sale. I know that I never have to worry about Magpie Gemstones' products. When anything is on Super Sale it just means that I get to benefit from old product going out and also new product going in! I also scored a great deal on the Ebay store. I'm trying some new gemstones there, so I'm extra excited to get a great deal knowing they will still be great quality. I'm sure my husband isn't happy I found your site, but I'm thankful to have such a great supplier for my bead addiction!

I received my order 2 days ago and upon opening my parcels was very very impressed with the quality of the beads. The rectangle Aventurine is just perfect as are the round beads too. All arrived in excellent condition to Australia and quickly too. I am delighted with my first experience with Magpie Gemstones as I am with the quality of my order. Like some others found you by accident looking at YouTube, thank you very much.

I just received my latest order from Magpie Gemstones and I am once again compelled to shout to the world what a fantastic bead supplier you (all) are!! My very well packaged orders always arrive quickly and I am so excited I put off anything else I have to do when I get home and rip open the box. I can tell you right now, I am NEVER disappointed. The quality of the beads is so amazing that part of me doesn't even want to use them in my jewelry. I just want to hang the strands on the wall and admire them. Thank you again for being such an amazing group of people offering phenomenal products and service. You have a customer for life!

It's about time you got this kind of quality AND quantity of feedback on your fab products! I'm hoping I'll soon have some income tax funds to play with. If not, know that I'm still your Number One Fan, whether I can buy any of your awesome gemstones or not.

I agree; I have been a customer since about 2004 I think - you always know what you are getting or even more surprised when the pictures don't capture the total beauty of the stone - great customer service and great discount structure if you are buying more than just a few things - I love them also - thanks Szarka!!

I wish I could give Magpie Gemstones a 20. A 10 just isn't high enough. I love this company more than words can say. They are honest, their stones are of the highest quality and always match the picture, and their customer service is top notch as well. AND they have great prices. Usually you only get two out of three but they manage to do it all. I rarely go anywhere else for gemstones and only do so reluctantly when I'm looking for something special and they don't have it.

Thanks much! So glad I found you.

I just received my order of tigers eye and I'm happier than a six year old on Christmas morning. This is my second order of tigers eye and the colors and shine of these stones just can't be shown properly in a photo. They are beautiful and silky and liquid looking. I love working with these and I get loads of compliments on them every time I wear or show them. Thank you so much for having such high standards and being such a reliable shop to buy my gemstones with. I truly appreciate the work you put into your business and as a result into ours.

I just received my order and I am blown away. Amongst my order were close-out beads, the new Lapis beads, and a wide host of others!! I am always amazed at the incredible quality every time I receive a Magpie Gemstone order! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work at ensuring your customers get the best deal possible on such excellent quality beads and stones! ♥

I got my order in, and may I just say WOW!!! The titanium druzy is STUNNING, and the Citrine one is just amazing!! The close-out rose quartz is beautiful. But my favorite is the faceted Amazonite tear drops!!! OM MY GOSH They are STUNNING... Thank you!! I should be ordering one more order before I am "done" spending with you! hehehe!

I am absolutely amazed! I received the beads today....48 hours after I placed the order....and they are gorgeous! I am always critical and rarely satisfied. What you sent me exceeds every expectation I had. The beads are beautiful. They are exactly the image I was dreaming about and envisioning for my mala. I even teared up a bit when I opened the beautifully secured and packaged treasure. I will be referring everyone I know to your website, and you have definitely made a customer for life. Thank you for being instrumental in making this world a more beautiful place. I send this to you with love and light.

received my third order today from you guys.
it really makes my day...you have beautiful stones!!
some i put away to be used when i am more competant and can do them the justice they so deserve, some i make up which is just pure pleasure, opening up a whole new 'dreamscape' of creativity...and some just sit happily on my desk because i have fallen in love with them and just want to keep them :)
(naughty night-flite).
just want to say thank-you; i love your beads; all the best to you and i look forward to shopping with you often in the future. tyvvm

Just want to say that I just opened my order, and it was Christmas early. You did it again! The most gorgeous, well represented beads I am yet to find anywhere. The freebie surprise was awesome and not a dorky little spit of beads, either - awesome labradorite tubes with lots fire on a few. Thanks, and now I have to get to the bench and get busy!

Have a wonderful holiday, and hope that next year is even more successful for you.

Szarka, I have to say that I don't understand some of the people who are not pleased with what they get from you. I have ordered lots and am always excited when your package comes, and much quicker than anyone could expect! Everything I get from you is top quality, and just as expected. It is hard to resist buying beads from you every week! But, we are just a small business, my husband and I, and have only been making jewelry a couple of years. We still have a lot to learn, and do learn a lot from the information you post and the tutorials.

Thank you so very much!
Colleen

Just a quick note of appreciation...received my first order from you a couple days ago. I was very impressed with my experience. The beads are of high quality, exceeded my expectations...they are beautiful! Your website is well done, the ordering process was straightforward, the order was filled accurately and promptly, packaged very well, and arrived very quickly. Thank you so much! I will certainly be ordering from you again.


Everyone did a great job!

I have ordered gemstones from many sources, and I must say that I have found no better quality, service, or business practices than Szarka/Turquoise Magpie's. I so appreciate that what you see in the photos is what you get, no sorting through and weeding out the "tossers" as is the case with other companies. The prices are very fair for the quality and service. Sure you can find cheaper made, but you get what you pay for with Szarka and she always discloses everything she knows about her gemstones so you know exactly what you are getting. I know this is long but I have been waiting for this new website so I could rave about her & her company! Also love her tutorials, special sales, newsletter, etc.

It has been a bit since I have visited and I want to say that once again you had just what I wanted "Green Magnesite Graduated Slabs". No one else has them, I will put it this way I have not been able to find them.

I am so grateful that I can count on you to have just what I am looking for. I love the fact that I know that if I need a certain stone that I know that you will have it . Again, thank you. One very happy customer. Teresa

I have made several purchases from Magpie Gemstones. I have been extremely happy with the beads I received. The shipping is fast and free!! The site is my go to for quality product. I have told all friends about this store!!

I have ordered from you several times and am always more than pleased with your gemstones and the speedy service. The last time I ordered stones, I wanted 2 specific shapes of labradorite cabochons, so I called you in hopes of receiving something similar to what I wanted. Gibby answered the phone and was kind enough to go through the cabs for me and pick out the ones I wanted. They are beautiful! Lots of flash just as Gibby promised! Thank you so much for your over and above attitude when it comes to pleasing your customers!!
