Etsy
4.6
(10)
"Etsy is great and great value. Find a ring that’s unique to your relationship. Dimaonds are very expensive. If you want to go the diamond route, go lab made. Same quality, a fraction of the price."
"Moissanite rings on Etsy. Great value. Great quality."
"My wife and I bought a ring that contained a moissanite stone on Etsy. This was 6 years ago, but she was super happy with the ring."
"I got my wife and I matching rings from Etsy."
"Etsy is brilliant for that kinda stuff. Just search handmade rings and you'll go into a rabbit hole of some amazing stuff from all over the world."
"I got mine through Etsy. The seller was an absolute sweetheart and down custom sizing etc. And only paid 200 for it."
"My husband bought my whole set off Etsy and they're beautiful. Pay attention to both ratings and how many people have rated."
"I got mine on Etsy!"
"There are plenty of Etsy shops that deal in wooden rings."
"I found some great jewelers through Etsy but I was a bit nervous not being able to try something on first."

Blue Nile
4.7
(9)
"I came to say Blue Nile. They’ve been around a long time and have a great reputation."
"My wedding band came from BN and has been amazing. I still love it and they don't make mine anymore."
"Blue Nile is outstanding! I've been shopping with them for almost 20 years, and purchased my engagement ring, wedding ring, and anniversary rings from them."
"I ordered from Blue Nile last year and the diamond was exactly as described. Their online grading reports matched the stone I received."
"I have used Blue Nile recently for several diamond jewelry purchases and been really happy. Great return policy and fair prices."
"At home on bluenile.com, for either natural or lab-grown. Much better value."
"I was considering a ring at Blue Nile and even went to visit them in person twice. But I ended up essentially finding the same ring but better quality & more secure with a local jeweler for only $100 more."
"Sams club or Costco. You could buy online, its typically a better deal. Blue Nile has good stuff."
"Blue Nile at the mall has the cheapest prices."

James Allen

(8)
"My husband also purchased my engagement ring from James Allen, they are exceptional with customer service."
"I found James Allen to have the best online viewer 360° videos helped me pick exactly what I wanted. Their customer service was super helpful."
"I bought one online from JamesAllen. Labdiamond and it looks fabulous and was a fraction of the price for a real diamond. You can actually take your time and review each individual diamond and its characteristics. Highly recommend."
"James Allen - they’re online from the states but legit and so so so much cheaper and better quality than what you get from here"
"I got mine through James Allen too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
"My engagement ring is from James Allen and includes a lab grown diamond. I get compliments on it all the time and have had absolutely no issues with it since I got it 3 years ago."
"Online it’s James Allen. Both require leap of faith but once you’re comfortable it’s massive savings"
"My friend bought his online from James Allen, was a good experience... One thing you need to take into account of tho is VAT/Customs fee if buying from outside the EU."

Brilliant Earth

"We went to Brilliant Earth to try on a specific design that I'd been eyeing from James Allen for years but couldn't find from any other retailer except BE."
"We looked on Brilliant Earth for ideas and then found a good seller on Etsy to Frankenstein the designs together. I’m really happy with my ring."
"We went to Brilliant Earth in Cherry Creek. There are probably some cheaper options but we were happy with them."
"Others here have recommended Brilliant Earth. That is where we got my ring and"
"I bought from brilliant earth, they have a store in Cherry creek."
"Brilliant Earth. Shop online for the one you want. They have a shop in Cherry Creek you can utilize if needed."
"The jeweler we used designed the ring to our specs agnostic of the stone type, then ordered the appropriately sized Moissanite stones from Brilliant Earth."
"Some of the online retailers like Brilliant Earth have a great selection."
"I’d advise against Brilliant Earth, I know multiple people with terrible experiences."
