Hi.
I’m in the market for an engagement ring.
I read on this article that you will occasionally have Blue Nile discount codes and wanted to reach out to see if by any chance you currently had some.
We offer a coupon for $50 off of a purchase over 1k:[contact us for your own unique coupon code]. According to BN, this is the best coupon they are offering right now. I hope it helps.
Do you want me to help you with the search?
So I’m looking for an engagement ring with a round center stone, and a cushion shaped halo setting similar to this:

I am currently looking at this option which is fairly close but am open to other options (Also note I am in the UK):
Arietta Halo Diamond Engagement Ring
I am still a little unsure about the center stone but am currently looking at something like a:
0.95-1.3 Carat, Excellent cut, VS2-S1 (most likely VS2), Colour E-G. I have read about fluorescence and i’m not sure about it.
Also the metal is platinum.
I’d like to spend as close to £5,000 as possible (though I can stretch my budget to over 6,000 if really needed) and of course I want a glamorous ring for her.
Your best bet is to find something on Blue Nile (https://www.diamonds.pro/reviews/blue-nile/) as they have an office in Dublin, therefore you can save the import fee. Also, it’s easier in terms of service. They have the best track record with our UK based readers. We have reviewed some UK based stores, you can have a look at them here: https://www.diamonds.pro/reviews/.
For that halo setting, you can stick with H+ colored diamonds. Clarity-wise, we search for eye-clean SI2+ diamonds. Sometimes you can find a perfect SI diamond, sometimes the first eye-clean option is a VS stone (https://www.diamonds.pro/education/clarity/). The strong fluorescence (on D-I diamonds) / medium fluorescence (on D-G color) may cause a hazy/milky look in daylight (https://www.diamonds.pro/education/fluorescence/).
Here are my recommendations:
Blue Nile LD11352268
Blue Nile LD11699324
The 1 carat looks fantastic!
Many thanks!
