My fiance bought my engagement diamond from blue nile and it was GORGEOUS! The cut, quality, color- everything was exactly what we thought we would get, and more! The price was so reasonable and when we got it appraised, it came back worth almost double what we paid for it. The shipping was incredibly fast and arrive days earlier than anticipated.

My husband ordered my engagement ring from Blue Nile - and I love it! We then ordered our wedding bands and used a promo code to save 20% off our order. The rings and engravings were perfect, and the price we paid was stellar! They have a great selection at different price points, too!

My hubbs went to this vendor online to get the market price on raw diamonds. This helped to see what he could get for the budget. He then took that information and bought a diamond from a local dealer here in Orange County. Helped with negotiating.

One of my BFF just got her ring from this vendor and it is absolutely stunning! The clarity and color of the diamond was flawless. She seemed to be very pleased so I am most likely going to be purchasing some diamonds from them as well. Their prices are extremely competitive.

Go here to get a good current value on raw diamonds, then go to a local jeweler with that pricing. You should be able to get a great deal.

My engagement ring & wedding band are absolutely perfect! I thought my fiance was a little daring buying it online but everything worked out perfect. They have a 30 day refund policy, free overnight shipping, very knowledgeable customer service reps & re-sized my ring with a very quick turn around. They also provide the genuine diamond certificate. My fiance save over $1000 when comparing the prices of the same ring with all the local competitors including Icing on the Ring.

I absolutely love my engagement ring! Before the old man (Chinese sentiment to call your husband) and I got engaged, he thoughtfully asked me what I would want. I can be a bit picky about jewelry, and I did scare him with a story in the past that I had my ex-boyfriend return a promise ring he gave to me because it was hideous (well, he got the point after I cried - not the "I'm so happy cry" - when I opened the ring box).

Anyway, I love how Blue Nile's website allows you to build your own engagement ring. The options on the website are very user friendly. After you select which diamond shape you would like, there is a built-in slidebar that allows you to select a range of carat size (0.23 upwards to 12), cut (fair to signature ideal), color (J to D), clarity (SI2 to FL), and price ($200 to $400K). Each option has a drop down explanation if you are unfamiliar with any of those descriptions.

After selecting your center piece, the website shows you a really thorough report of the diamond which includes depth %, table %, symmetry, etc. Then you can select your metal type (platinum, yellow gold, white gold) and style (solitaire, side stone, three-stone, matching set).

Then my favorite part comes when they show you ring you designed on a hand to give you a perspective how large the diamond looks, and also a side profile for you to see how much height there is.

I selected everything I liked, then I choose "e-mail to a friend" and I got EXACTLY what I wanted. Jerry called in the order, and the sales representative gave him some additional advice. Insured shipping through FedEx is included, and the ring was sent in a very nice blue ring box.

I've used Blue Nile for Christmas gifts as well, and I haven't had any problems.

My FH wanted a plain 4mm platinum band. We were quoted $900 from both Robbins Bros and the Jewelry Exchange. Blue Nile had exactly what he wanted for $475 no tax, no shipping. It came in two days and is gorgeous. We were very impressed. AND now they are apart of www.ebates.com so if you sign up for ebates, you get 3% back as well. very nice.

I was surprised when my then-fiance told me that he got my BEAUTIFUL engagement ring from Blue Nile. We searched online at their website for our wedding bands, and found a pair that we loved! Their jewelry are just absolutely beautiful and affordable!

My fiance bought my engagement ring through them, and it is beautiful. It appraised for more than he purchased it for.
We are in the process of buying our wedding bands through them, as well. Great company and very good customer service. Email questions are returned within a business day or two.

With such an expensive purchase, I was really worried about ordering online - but it turned out that I didn't need to be. The rings arrived safely and fit perfectly for both of us. The quality is fantastic. I'm glad we ordered here because we did end up saving a ton of money!

My husband is a very picky person - which I guess says a lot about me! He spent over three months researching rings and finally purchased my engagement ring from blue nile. He got a fantastic stone, a beautiful setting and all his questions answered...

We went back and used Blue Nile for our mothers' gifts and they were equally accommodating.

We have nothing bad to say about Blue Nile. We purchased all our jewelry, from the engagement ring to the wedding bands on BlueNile.com, and have been extremely satisfied with their service and quality of the their products.

We opted to have all platinum rings, and the price on blue nile was the best we could find. Furthermore, they are only one of the few jewelers who have a vast selection of platinum jewelry.

Our wedding bands are from Blue Nile, as well as the engagement ring. We have selected this vendor as our jeweler because we liked both the quality and the prices. Blue Nile has an exceptional customer service and we had a wonderful experience purchasing our rings from them.

This company deserves 101 STARS! You will not be disappointed. Just check out the other reviews.

Yes they are a bit pricier, but you ABSOLUTELY get what you are paying for and more. My engagement ring is from Blue Nile. I designed it. It turned out even better than I expected. I get comments every, single place that I go. We decided to go ahead and order our wedding bands there, too. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. A company that truly understands that their customers are top priority. They resize your ring for the life of it and they have courtesy overnight FedEx shipping.

YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE ANYTHING THAT YOU PURCHASE FROM BLUE NILE. The customer service is PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT. And for Christmas last year...my husband order a custom-made necklace that perfectly matches my engagement ring. And guess what? It was PEFECT!

Surprisingly, my wife found the same wedding bands we were looking at here with our local jeweler online for a price that we just couldn't pass up. I was leary of ordering rings off line but they really came through for us. We had them appraised after we received them and they were exactly as promised.

My engagement ring and both of our bands are from Blue Nile. They have a wonderful selection of rings to choose from. Their prices are very reasonable and at times comparable to other national jewelers. I really love the fact that Blue Nile allows you to build your own engagement ring, which I did not know until after I got my engagement ring and my then-fiance told me about it. That is a really special touch because I feel that it really does come from his heart to not just select something "generic," and that he knew what I would like and pieced everything together! We got our bands for a really great price, and when we got them appraised for insurance purposes, they were worth a lot more than what we paid!!

My engagement ring came from Bluenile.com. My husband was able to build a completely custom ring on their website, which arrived exactly as described. It was valued by an appraiser later, for insurance purposes, at more than it originally cost. It’s a beautiful ring – a single stone in a platinum setting, and I love it. So nice to be able to tell friends and colleagues that my beloved designed it, and selected every element, just for me!

My engagement ring is a family heirloom from my husband's side, so we really didn't know where to look for our wedding bands. I was ordering a gift for my mom from Blue Nile, and decided to browse through their wedding selections. Not even into the second page, I saw the set that I knew would be perfectly matched with my engagement ring! We ordered our bands from Blue Nile, and were very pleased not only over the price/package, but also because of the beautiful quality/craftsmanship. Definitely recommend you look at Blue Nile if you can't find your rings locally! They have a lot of beautiful jewelry!

I love my engagement ring from Blue Nile because it is a good quality stone and setting and yet is not overpriced like many local jewelers. They also have a very helpful online tool (which you look at after you’ve been proposed to) to help you figure out just how much the one you got was worth. Seriously, it was very educational going to their website and learning about the ring. I was not involved in the picking out of the engagement ring but only of the wedding bands. In the latter, the ease of shipment and online ordering also made this an A-plus vendor in my books.

We looked everywhere. Then we read that Blue Nile is the largest online broker of diamonds. The price/quality/service were unbeatable. We were really nervous about the ring being mail-ordered, but it turned out to be one of the best things we did.

Nick got my engagement ring on Blue Nile,and had no problems. They also have a return policy, but buying online (or anywhere else for that matter) works best when you've done all of the homework. My ring is gorgeous, and I regularly get comments on how beautiful it is!

Blue Nile was a great place to get our wedding bands. It was quick easy and exactlly what we wanted. They have very fast shipping and often if you search for them on yahoo or google search have codes for discounts on purchases above and beyond the great prices they alreay have listed.

The only trouble was that I wear a size 9.5 band and when my engagment ring was purchased Blue Nile carried this size in stock. When it came time to buy the wedding bands it needed to be special ordered and took a week or two longer than my husbands wedding band to come in the mail.

I have always had the idea wedding set in my head since I was a little girl. I kept looking at all the jewelers in Indianapolis and could not find my dream ring. Someone suggested looking on Blue Nile and the first click, there it was!!!! I actually found the same ring on another site and it was $4000 more! We got my wedding set and my husband band for less than what the set I wanted for. Check them out!

I was very skeptical about ordering our rings over the internet but my engagement ring is so beautiful. Also, we had to get it appraised to add it to our homeowners insurance and the jeweler that did the appraisal said that the diamond is the exact quality that we were told on the net. I thought that was important because it would be so easy for them to classify them one way and then sell you a different diamond. That's what I was the most worried about. But everything worked out great. It actually apprised for more than we paid Blue Nile for it too.

My ring is the most amzing rin in the history of engagement rings, or maybe I just feel that way because it came fromt he most amazing man. But, no matter who it came from, it's the where I am supposed to be reviewing. I spent a ton of time on bluenile.com but really just to browse not thinking we would actually purchase the ring online. But we did end up doing just that after we went to several stores and realized how over priced and marked up they were. My ring from bluenile.com is great. It arrived on time and appraised at it's value.

My husband and I shopped online at blue nile.com for our rings. They had a lot of education materials to teach us all about diamonds and what to look for. We didn't want to shop in stores because we've always been bombarded with greedy sales people who work on commission. We were able to design our own rings and pick the diamonds, making it a very special experience for both of us. The rings are beautiful and we couldn't be happier!

I was very nervous when I was told and realized that the engagement ring I gave my wife, passed down from generation to generation in my family, was going to be difficult to match up with a band. However, the superwoman that my wife is came across a wedding band set from Blue Nile one day that she proclaimed in enthusiasm would match her engagement ring! I was a little weary still because I wanted to be sure, but I spoke with their customer service department and they ensured me that they would take the rings back if it didn't. There was no need to return the rings though because my wife was very happy, which made me a happy man!

I purchased my husband's wedding band from this online gem stone and jewelery dealer. They were helpful and patient. Their website is one of the most extensive and educational I've ever visited and, as they do not have brick-and-mortar stores, their prices are unmatched.

My wedding ring was purchased from Blue Nile. My ring turned yellow-ish and it's supposed to be a white gold. I never wear it when using soaps, cleaners, lotions, or anything involving chemicals. When I went to take it back to get it re-rodiumed, it turned yellow within days. Do not go there!

Blue Nile was great. I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band there for great prices. Both are beautiful. We actually had to send the engagement ring back after I proposed to get a half-size smaller (my mistake on the sizing). They were really helpful and transferred the stone over and shipped it back quickly.

Found a great diamond at a great price. The only hitch was that they are supposed to mail the diamond via Fed Ex, which requires a signature. My diamond was mailed by UPS through a second party and was sitting on my doorstep when I got home. We bought the diamond from Blue Nile and it was appraised at almost double the value. You cannot beat the price.

I wanted to surprise my wife before our wedding with a gift that I knew she would love, but I had no idea what to get her. Her mother then tells me that she wanted to wear a particular pair of earrings on our wedding, but she couldn't afford them. With that tip in mind, I went ahead and purchased the earrings for her as my gift. Because we were on the same floor getting ready, I could hear her scream and cry in delight when she opened her gift! I heard that the girls had to hold her back from running to our room to thank me as we didn't want to see each other before the wedding. Blue Nile was awesome in getting me the earrings on time (I ordered them 3 days BEFORE the wedding).

I caught my wife looking at a pair of earrings on Blue Nile one day, and I could tell that she really liked them. When I showed them to her best friend, she commented that my wife really wanted to wear them for our wedding, but that she wasn't going to purchase them because she couldn't afford them. So I decided that I would purchase them for her as my wedding gift. I had it delivered to her with flowers as she was getting ready, and her friends told me that she couldn't stop crying after she saw them! I was very pleased with the delivery from Blue Nile, and the customer service rep that I spoke with was courteous.

My engagement ring as well as both of our wedding rings are from Blue Nile. This is by far the best value for the money you will spend and the jewelry is absolutely beautiful and well-crafted. I had to send my engagement ring back to be re-sized and their customer service was absolutely amazing. It was re-sized and shipped back to me in less than two weeks. Everyone things it is the most beautiful ring that they have seen and the wedding rings complement each other beautifully.

My FI built my e-ring on Blue Nile. When it came in, the band was thinner than he expected. The diamond itself was gorgeous and such a great value that he decided to keep the diamond but return the setting. Customer service was excellent and the return was painless. He uses Blue Nile all the time now for gifts to his mom and me!

I purchased his wedding band on Blue Nile as well. We are very happy with it and he can't wait to wear it!
