Please read this review about Blue Nile or you may miss out on amazing experience and the diamond ring of your dreams. At first I thought blue Nile was just another online jewelry company, but to say I was wrong would be an understatement. I did use the website which allows you to pick your diamond either lab grown or natural and pick your setting as well as customize. I picked a Lab grown diamond 1.76 carat princess cut and chose a beautiful setting. You can track the Ring's progress online which is super cool. This jewelry company is the real deal once you pick your diamond, it's yours because obviously each is unique with the lab grown or natural. Blue Nile also affords the buyer all the education regarding diamonds and I was able to easily learn what was important factors to consider when buying a diamond I chose a larger stone with a lighter setting. Long gone are the days of being able to afford a beautiful Diamond or choosing cubic zirconia, these lab grown diamonds are real with identical chemical composition as a natural diamond. Well, the ring came early and it was stunning! What I didn't know about Blue Nile, which set them apart from other online jewelers, is that they have showrooms that you can easily access and make an hour engagement ring consultation with their jewelers in person as well as a virtual visit. I wore the ring for a couple weeks, as blue Nile has a 30 day no hassle return policy. I loved the ring, but was longing for a round diamond, as my mother had left me her round diamond engagement ring but it was lost. I was also looking to maybe change the setting to one a bit heavier that would complement the round diamond. I booked an hour showroom consultation at South Park in Charlotte, North Carolina and was treated like a queen and made to feel so special by Desiree Maynes-the showroom manager, Charley Marquis-personal jeweler and Rojin Behroozmand-personal jeweler. They made buying the ring it's own amazing experience and memory. I had such a great time picking my diamond and new setting. I was so excited and there were so much to see that I wound up being there for two hours instead of one, and never felt rushed. The atmosphere that Desiree, Charley and Rojin create for their customers is magical. I decided to bring the first ring back after my first consultation, as I was unsure of mailing it back and booked one more appointment to reaffirm my choices with Desiree and Charlie once again I was treated like a queen I hugged them because a simple thank you didn't seem enough. They asked me to please come back when I receive the new ring to show them and I definitely will. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Desiree, Charlie and Rojin! Blue Nile is blessed to have you!! You give a human touch combined with great technology to create a beautiful experience! I couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else. Blue Nile...great company!! read more
