I came across your site, and I just want to thank you for your help!
I am looking for a round diamond, probably to put in a skinny, pave style ring. I would like the whole ring to be around $5000, so about $3500/$4000 for the diamond.
I was looking on Blue Nile, but then I read your review on BN and now I’m having second thoughts.
Could you point me in the right direction? I live in Canada, so it would have to be shipped there (if that matters).
Thanks in advance!
There is no difference between the sites; there is no import duty from the US, only the same taxes you have to pay there. I would go with this diamond:

It’s bright, eye-clean and will look good in a pave setting. What do you think?
I think it looks great! At first I was looking for E-F colour and VVS1 type diamonds, because I thought those would be better and sparkle more. But after reading some stuff on your website, I guess those qualities aren’t as important as first thought.
I was hoping to get a diamond around .75 carats, so this at .8 seems great. I think I will take your advice and go with it.
Thanks for the help!
I’m sure you will be happy with it. Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.
This diamond looks amazing! My fiance was so happy with it as well. It shines brighter than any other diamond we have seen.
I might have to bug you again when I buy her some earrings 🙂
Thank-you very much; I give you my utmost appreciation.
Thanks for writing and letting us know. I’m delighted that you were pleased with our help.
We wish you and your partner a life of happiness and fulfillment.
