Nope.



 They claim to buy and sell gems and are offering small business owners
 an opportunity to invest.  It seems iffy to me, but I'm wondering if
 anyone else has heard of it.

They are with the Canadian BBB, that would likely be the first place to start, 
then whatever Canadian government agency has oversight in that area (like the 
American FTC).

As to the investments in general, jewelry is not normally a very good 
investment, as everyone has different tastes. Gems CAN be a very good 
investment, ASSUMING of course, 
that one is not buying retail and selling wholesale, which is what a lot of gem 
dealers do to clients.
