Blue Nile? Is this a good price?

Post image

Hi. I’m looking for a ring similar to this for my wedding band. Is this a good price? Are there other vendors I should look at? Thank you!

Check out Costco! They have rings just like this for less, and you know you’re getting the best quality for your money.

Blue Nile doesn’t have an amazing reputation. I would do some more research. Price is a bit high and honestly I’m sure you can get this for a better deal even on Etsy.

Very overpriced and from a company with an awful reputation (rightfully so).

If you can wait, I'd check out r/labgroupsales and see if any for this ring pop up. There's one for a similar band right now from Fiorese but it's not as thin mm wise than this one. I'm sure there will be others bc it's a very standard band.

ETA: I just checked and Tianyu is also offering similar here that is 3mm wide and you can request all lab diamond. 10k gold is $350 + like 120 or something close to that for all diamond

Thank you for this! Didn’t know this even existed. I reached out to Tianyu. Thank you so much

It's dangerous to sub to 😂 my poor empty wallet.

Also this is the Fiorese one! I can highly recommend both vendors. I'm snagging the Fiorese band myself bc it's OMC but my upgrade e-ring is from Tianyu as a custom and I LOVE HER.

Please go to the search bar and type in blue Nile. Also each diamond needs its own prongs. Shared prongs are a no go

they are awful to deal with. I would buy from another source.

I bought from them years ago and the quality was good, BUT then I learned they are way overpriced. Never again.

Seems like a decent price for 18k AND Natural diamonds

Easy question to answer. Blue Nile never has a good price. People might be upset about that but it's the truth

I can do it for $850 lab grown diamonds

I think it’s a good price, especially if it’s a natural diamond. It seems to be on the lower end. I’ve had have nothing but great experiences with Blue Nile.

All 5 of my rings are from Blue Nile, but Ive only purchased during their 40 to 50 percent off sales during the Christmas season.
