Hi there,
Thank you so much for all of your incredible information! I am buying diamond stud earrings, looking on Blue Nile. Your content has been so helpful. These pairs:
Blue Nile LD11309199-LD12094236
Blue Nile LD11337149-LD11702671
Blue Nile LD11902422-LD12076072
Any guidance or if there is a different pair you would suggest, I would be so appreciative.
Also, do you have guidance for insurance? I am concerned about protecting our investment and see that many sites offer insurance. I am concerned that these are reputable.
The first two pairs aren’t eye-clean. It’s true that they don’t have to be as clean as diamonds for rings should be, but you can’t overlook it completely.
The last two look better on the screen but looking at the certificates, they won’t be much brilliant because of the huge cloud on one of them and the big knot on the other. Those are inclusions that you should avoid. Plus, the depth and table should be within 1% of each other.
I’d go with these two:
They are a much better pair that will look more brilliant.
Let me know what you think.
As for the insurance, BN offers someone who they trust but I’m not sure how reliable those people are. I only know BN. Or you can go with your own insurance company that you have for a car or home or something.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your input.
Would you be able to recommend any pairs from James Allen?
…
One other question. I love the diamonds you selected. How do I order these as a pair of earrings?
I already checked out JA but didn’t find anything comparable. They would be significantly more expensive.
I’m glad you like them. I recommend talking to BN about putting them together as a pair. They have a chat box and will be able to help you get through the ordering process much easier.
I have been working with Blue Nile on the earrings that you selected. They are gorgeous! I believe that my husband will call today and place the order.
Thank you so much for your help.
I’m glad that you decided on those earrings. I’d be happy if you could let me know how you like them when you receive them.
Will do!
