OT: Buying jewelry online

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I've seen the threads pop up for where in Jackson to buy it, but I'm not in Jackson and I want to get my wife a better piece of jewelry for what I could get buying it in store. Does anyone here have any specific recommendations of sites/dealers online?

I used James Allen ~8 years ago for an engagement ring, and I had/have no complaints.

It's quite nerve-racking waiting for a package that expensive to arrive though.

USAA member (or have access to one) by any chance? That's where I bought the stones for my wife's engagement ring.

How do you know exactly what you are buying online? From my experience the clarity in diamonds can vary so much. One VS1 might have just one inclusion but it's a visible mark on the top of the stone vs another with some inclusions on the edge that aren't as noticeable.

This, and I believe the ones I got could be returned.

Blue Nile FTW, no state tax over state lines, full report for diamond, quick shipping, no pushy sales lady, will call you if there is an issue to sort out

Where do you live, if you don't mind me asking? I have a close friend who owns a very nice jewelry store. Very nice.

This is all really solid info. I'm in the game right now as well for one but don't know where to start. It's nothing that I've ever bought before or plan on buying again. I know that there has to be some deals out there to be had.

Thanks everybody.
