Love my necklace
I am so pleased with my necklace. I knew what I wanted and Blue Nile did not disappoint. I was leary about ordering online since I wasn't able to see in person until I received but since I knew there was 100% satisfaction I ordered and I couldn't be happier.

Astonishingly bad service
I ordered a necklace that was not a super valuable item (less than $1k). I received an email from ups for delivery gave the option to waive signature and checked that option. Ups then returned the item to blue Nile without attempting delivery. I got an email from blue Nile stating they could reship for a fee. I called and was told I can’t waive signature and that was why it was returned. I had received the email allowing to waive signature FROM YOUR SHIPPING VENDOR WITH NO DISCUSSION OF THIS POLICY. Since redelivery was going to be when I was on vacation, I would never pay extra for a shipping error that was not my fault, and the person on phone indicated I could not delay shipping, I cancelled. I factually told person on phone I have spent around $30k with Blue Nile in my lifetime and this experience will make the company dead to me if this is the answer and I will never spend another dollar with you. I also informed him I would never advise anyone to shop with this company again. You have been overtaken with enshittification and are just another shade online vendor now.

Hi Adam, thank you for your feedback and we apologize for any frustration with your returned shipment. Due to the value of your purchase, a signature would be required upon delivery. We see that our team offered to waive the re-shipping fee and assist with a new delivery location to a UPS store for convenience. We understand your preference to return the order for a refund and hope to have the pleasure of assisting you again in the future.

The ring was delivered within a week of…
The ring was delivered within a week of ordering and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was unfortunately slightly too large for my fiancé's finger. I requested resizing and shipped the ring back. A week goes by without any notification. I had to reach out to make sure it was even received. The next day I got a notification that my ring was being resized and would be shipped back to me in 3 weeks. They made a ring from scratch and had it in my hands in less than a week but it takes a month to get it resized??? I would rather it be the opposite. I'm sure my fiancé would rather be without her ring for a week instead of a month too. Find it ridiculous to take this long. I would keep this in mind when ordering; make sure you order the correct size other wise your fiancé will be without her ring the first 5 weeks of your engagement.

Awesome ring
This ring is exactly as I imagined. It took awhile to get it but I realize that it was made to order. The quality is exceptional. The setting is substantial and the fancy green diamond is so sparkly. I love my new ring!

Congratulations Elizabeth! We are so happy to hear how pleased you are with your new ring!
I had my engagement ring for 6 months and the diamond was loose (rattling). Mind you, I only wore the ring on weekends when I would go out. But ok I sent the ring to be resized and get the loose diamond repaired.
I just went to get my ring and explain how the ring is still rattling. What kind of inspection did this ring go through? I am no professional and I noticed it right away. Now I will have to wait again to get the ring repaired. Ridiculous.

The only place I needed to go
Blue Nile was the first place I had scheduled a consultation to buy a surprise engagement ring for my now fiancee. I had shopped a bit online before my appointment and Blue Nile was being considered but was not yet the leader. My consultation with Shoreh instantly put Blue Nile on the top of my list and in fact made them the only place to shop for me. Shoreh could not have been more professional, knowledgable and enjoyable. As I was buying this ring as a surprise, I needed lots of help and advice. Shoreh was excellent at making sure I considered and bought the perfect diamond for my fiancee, not just the one that I liked best. She encouraged my to shop around, but when I got home, I realized there was no need for that. I knew that ultimately I would be most comfortable and trust the purchase from Blue Nile. We found our diamond and my fiancee was thrilled with her surprise.

Don't like my purchase at all
I’m not a fan of this ring, but I have to keep it because it’s engraved. I made a mistake getting it engraved. Honestly, the ring isn’t any worse than money. It’s definitely my first and last time with Blue Nile.
Reply from Blue Nile2026-07-17
Hi Nur, thank you for sharing your feedback and we apologize for any disappointment. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your ring design further and request that you contact our customer care team at your earliest convenience.
The quality of the ring seems incredible and they have a great customer service team. I had to send it back in exchange for a half size up and they were so helpful and quick to respond. Definitely recommend!

Congratulations Hannah! We could not be happier to hear how great your experience has been!
We forgot about wedding bands during the craziness of wedding planning. I wanted a simple quality gold band to go with my engagement ring that had diamonds on the band already. The shipping was super fast and the ring is true to size, great color, and feels durable and quality. Looks amazing with my wedding bands stack.

To BlueNile I can only give 5 stars
To BlueNile I can only give 5 stars. Great value for the money, great customer support!
I am taking one star because of the terrible experience with the delivery company UPS of Greece. Customs clearance took 20 days due to incompetent customs brokers.

Easy simple and stress free
When my husband and I first walked in the store Himank gave us a warm welcome. I knew what I wanted already and he kindly showed me settings and different sizes and shapes of diamonds. I ended up with the first setting and chose a yellow diamond online. I was worried that the picture of the diamond was not what I was going to see in person but it was exactly as I imagined. The ring was a hit at the store and I was the most blessed owner of a special custom ring that symbolized the ups and downs in our 11 years of marriage full of faith love and perseverance. My ring is so beautiful and I'm very thankful that the staff at Blue Nile was part of this special moment and time in our lives. All in all it was a simple and easy process. Thank you so much!

Premium Promises, Mediocre Delivery
The service I received fell significantly short of the white‑glove standard the company promotes. Instead of a seamless, proactive, and attentive experience, I encountered inconsistent communication, slow response times, and a noticeable lack of ownership from the support team.A white‑glove experience should feel effortless for the customer. This felt like work.When a brand positions itself as premium but delivers mediocre execution, it erodes trust. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened here.

Wife's Birthday Gift
This ring was for my wife's 60th birthday and she loves it. It is a great size at three carats in that it is not so small to struggle to see diamonds yet not big and gaudy. The selection process was highlighted by one-day shipping. I did select the three-year warranty but there was no additional paperwork in the box so am assuming I would just contact customer service with any problems. It would be nice to receive an explanation of this benefit. We are very happy with this purchase.
Reply from Blue Nile2026-06-29
Hi Steven, we are honored you chose Blue Nile to celebrate your wife's 60th birthday! Your extended warranty information should be attached to your payment confirmation email, and if you have any questions or need to use your extended warranty please contact our customer care team.
Even though we live in Europe, we order products from Blue Nile from time to time because there's no local retailer that offers the same level of customization since Blue Nile left the UK.
Recently, we had to return an item because we purchased another similar item. The process took a bit, as the item was shipped overseas, but it was frictionless and we received a full refund.
