Q&A: Replacing a Lost Ring And Once Again Looking for a 1 Ct. Princess Cut Diamond

By Mike Fried,

Hello, I have (thanks to your help) purchased a diamond on Blue Nile. Unfortunately I lost the ring… And have to order another one but I have erased your emails. Can you please help me again? Thank you!

I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your ring.

Are you looking for a very similar diamond ring as you had or do you want to change the specs now?

Thanks for replying to me so fast. Yes please I would like more or less the same. It was very nice.

Thank you for the information.

Have a look at this one:
Blue Nile LD07800137

What do you think?

Very nice. But the very thick girdle is not a problem?

Girdle is an issue that has little to no impact on the visual appearance of the diamond. You should avoid the extremely thick/thin ones, otherwise you are fine.

Can you maybe propose to me another one so I can compare…?
Can you tell me the difference with the one I have bought the other time?

This stone is the best one I found for you at the moment. And it will actually look almost identical with the one you had before.

OK! I will take it then. Would you kindly like last time have an extra code, an even better one if possible regarding my situation.

We only have this coupon code that gives you $50 off. But you can contact them directly and ask if they can offer you a better discount. [contact us for your own unique coupon code]

Let me know what they say.

OK, I have asked them. What do you think about this one:
Blue Nile LD08276336

This stone is deeper than we usually recommend. We stick with stones with depth up to 74% and table up to 76%. It’s also slightly more expensive than the one I suggested so I wouldn’t go for this stone.

I noticed that the diamond I suggested is not available at the moment. Have you put it on hold?

No, unfortunately that’s why I was looking for another one. It took me too long to decide. Can you find another one for me please? Thanks.

Here’s one more option. The best I found at the moment:
Blue Nile LD08064291

If you like it, go for it.

How is this one compare to the one you showed me:
Blue Nile LD08055539

The main difference for me is that it will be shipped in 3 days and the one you showed me 8 days. I need it in 10 days in Spain.

It’s slightly deeper than what we usually recommend. But if you like it you can go for it.

If you’re under time pressure, go for this one.

Thank you! I will go for this one and use the promo code that you send me. Thanks.

That’s fantastic news! Good luck with everything.

Let me know how you like this ring once it arrives.
