To find my recommended best buys, click on the link directly below that says "Search for diamonds at Blue Nile".

Search for diamonds at Blue Nile

You should then see a screen that looks like this:

Choose the diamond shape you want (most people choose round) and type in a range for your budget and then click on the purple button that says "search for diamonds".

You should then see a handy search tool that looks like this:

Drag the purple arrows on the right until they only display these diamonds:

Cut: Very good - Ideal
Color: Only "I" or "H" color
Clarity: SI1 - SI2 range

When you are done setting the arrows they should look like this:

Select a diamond from the results. These are "great deals". A retail store may charge you thousands more for similar looking diamonds.

Using this method, you can get a nice one carat diamond at Blue Nile for around $3400. When I go to the retail stores, I see similar diamonds priced at $6000. The ones I see in the retail stores for $3995 are ugly with very large inclusions that are visible to the eye.

With Blue Nile's great reputation and quality customer service, it seems like a shame not to save thousands of dollars. Also there is no sales tax on your order unless you are from Washington State or Canada.

Here are some diagrams to help you find the best bargins:

Look For An "I" or "H" on the Color Grade Chart

Remember that the "I" color grade still looks nice and after that the color can start looking a bit sloppy.

Look For A "SI1" or an "SI2" on the Clarity Grade Chart

As far as the clarity grade goes: SI1 and SI2 are good clarity grades to look for. Anything below that in quality is when you can notice flaws with the naked eye.

Look For A Diamond Just a Little Under a Major Measurement Grade Like .5 or 1 or 1.5 Carat.

If you can buy a little underneeth 1 carat, it can cost quite a bit less than a 1 carat diamond because the price tends to jump up at that point.
