Hi, love the detail in your article. Do you still have Blue Nile discount codes for build your own jewelry on their site? Every code I have found does not work on the loose stones. Also, any recommendation for choosing stones for stud earrings? I was going to shoot for ideal cut, H color and SI2.
Here’s the coupon code. It gives you $100 off of your order. [contact us for your own unique coupon code]
I’m happy to help you find the perfect earrings. You can easily drop down to an I and they will still look great. I wouldn’t recommend buying an SI diamond without seeing its picture first (and BN still don’t offer quality pictures of all their diamonds), so let’s see what I can find for you on their website. Can you give me your ballpark budget for the purchase?
Ok. I agree that SI2 is scary without a picture. I have seen a few now online and they look horrible. I am also a little scared of I color since my ring is a G and can’t imagine choosing less after having it. My budget is only 3-3500 so I am struggling to find something at Blue Nile or a few other places because a carat just isn’t big enough and I was hoping for 1.25+. If you can help, I would appreciate it. I have shopped at Blue Nile before for less expensive items and had a very good experience but I am open to other ideas.
Thanks!
If you have a G-color ring, then going with an H color for the earrings will be a good idea.
The diamonds you picked on James Allen are well cut and match perfectly, but I was still able to find a better value for you:

These diamonds are cleaner than the ones you selected and their prices are lower. Unfortunately, we have no coupons for JA.
What do you think?
Ok great. Do you think the line on the SI2 you picked out is ok? Still eye clean? I know this is magnified just want to be sure because that inclusion makes it look like a crack.
Thank you!
I just had my colleague double-check the diamond and we are positive that it’s not an issue.
