Also to note:
* The phone number and mailing addresses would appear to be unique to this iteration of the jewellery appraisal scam site, but that could be subject to change at any moment.
* This may be part of a Smith lineage of the jewellery appraisal scam sites. This may pertain to Sandra Smith Gems -- a site that is still active as of the time of this posting (more info below). For instance, one URL, of many, from which the 'About' page draws content is:
https://staceylambertgems.com/wp-content/themes/smith/assets/css/theme.css?ver=6.2
Nevertheless, the Sandra Smith scam site, in turn, appears to be of a lineage from a Royal Glamour Gems site (another scam site, more info below). Plus, there are a number of differences between the Sandra Smith site and the Stacey Lambert site, so the Smith reference may not mean much.
Content for Stacey Lambert Gems site served up by Amazon AWS?: No

This woman may attempt to reach out to men on dating / social networking sites, under whichever alias.
After having supposedly busted her laptop, she may attempt to get someone to send her a replacement laptop to her, in Turkey, where she claims to be working temporarily. Given the high number of websites in question, it's hard to say how many angles there could be for different targets and how many people and/or organizations may be working behind the websites and their presumably related profiles on various dating / social networking sites. However, one possibility is that a proverbial targeted victim is being recruited, via a romance scam, as a conduit to ship other people's jewellery -- from the U.S., in this case -- off to Africa and/or the Middle East.
It's possible that people may send their jewellery for appraisal, possibly to a home address listed on a jewellery appraisal website. (This would be the supposed business location.) The 'jewellery appraiser' may have an address located somewhat close to the person who wants an appraisal. The romance-targeted-victim, netted via the romance scam, may then, in turn, ship that jewellery off to their loved one, under the context of doing her a service, as she is temporarily traveling abroad. The romance-targeted-victim may then be facilitating a theft against a jewellery appraisal customer. In doing so, the
