Hi,
Thanks for such a great site! I’ve been reading through your articles and reviews and appreciate all the helpful tips. I’m a first time diamond buyer looking for some diamond earrings as a gift. My budget is between $1000-$1500. What would you recommend from James Allen? Thanks!
I looked around and I like this pair for you:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.40-carat-i-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2616472?a_aid=dmnd1357
They are well cut and match perfectly.
What do you think?
Thanks so much! Is there something from Blue Nile that you can recommend? I’ve seen the reviews of both but what would you personally prefer between both retailers?
Thanks again!
You’re welcome.
Both James Allen and Blue Nile are reputable companies and we recommend them to our readers often. But we absolutely love James Allen and their high-quality videos of all their diamonds.
Here’s a comparable pair from Blue Nile:
Blue Nile LD08455178
Blue Nile LD06639645
They have great specs.
