Blue Nile
4.6
(11)
"Their wide selection and customization options made it a breeze."
"I got my natural diamond from Blue Nile :)"
"Add another rec for Blue Nile."
"Second this! My fiance got my ring from Blue Nile."
"I also recommend Blue Nile. I customized my wife’s ring on their site. A slightly less quality comparable ring from Tiffany’s would have cost me over 50% more. My wife loves her ring btw."
"Honestly I recommend Blue Nile. They are online wholesalers. My husband bought my rings there and they are STUNNING. You get wholesale prices and a lot of customizability."
"I got my ring online from bluenile."
"I used BlueNile.com and had a great experience."
"Check out Blue Nile. You can customize to your budget and compare to the stores."
"I purchased from Blue Nile as well. They have a ton of stock so it's easy to narrow it down to something that you want and stay within your budget."

Diamonds Direct
4.5
(8)
"Diamonds Direct I 100% recommend going to. My ring design is modeled after a brand that their only showroom at the time was in NY."
"I got mine for my wife from Diamonds direct, it was reasonably priced, I think? They have good quality diamonds, even to the naked eye they look much shinier and brighter than others."
"Diamonds direct is great. Took care of me and made the experience easy and smooth."
"Second recommendation for this. This and Diamonds Direct are so far the top contenders for most recommended."
"I've always heard good things about Diamonds Direct, the few times I looked into it they always had good reviews."
"I’ve had good experiences with Diamond Direct in Brea."
"We did our shopping at diamonds direct."
"Goto diamonds direct. They will answer all questions on clarity and such."

James Allen
4.1
(8)
"Have you searched on JamesAllen? I've found them to be there cheapest, even cheaper than pawn shops and used resellers."
"If you just want a solitaire round brilliant james allen or another online store"
"There are heaps. James Allen, Blue Nile, Ritani, Brian Gavin, Frank Darling to name just a few."
"I recommend it only if you want a simple or traditional looking ring."
"James Allen online."
"I've been using James Allen online. I found the cost savings were pretty significant."
"I purchased a ring and a few loose diamonds from James Allen. I found them to be very competitive in pricing. Would use again."
"I recommend checking out ring styles in person and finding similar ones that match your future fiance's taste by checking out James Allen online. Really good quality and no issues with it."
#4
Brilliant Earth
4.4
(7)
"I second BE! Beautiful pieces"
"Brilliant Earth has a shop based in SF, I’ve read good things about them."
"Customer service is great."
"Took them a design off Brilliant Earth and said 'can you make it with platinum instead of white gold and moissanite instead of diamond?'"
"Wish I went to Brilliant Earth though. Had an appointment there but went to Shane Co first and got pressured into purchasing on the spot."
"Agreed on Brilliant Earth. FYI that you can get the stone in a temporary setting and have her come back to select a permanent option."
"Take a look at buying a diamond online through Brilliant Earth."
