Blue Nile

I purchased a 1,400 platinum men's wedding band from the Tysons Corner, VA location. Good initial service, a bit rushed to be honest, but good overall. When the product showed up, it didn't fit AT ALL and fly's off my finger. I am unaware of a return or resizing policy, but I have a feeling that because the initial service was so rushed, the sizing process was not effective. In way too much of a hurry to move to the next customer.

While pretty, they were hard to get on and closing was not great. Sadly, I have already lost one within three weeks of wearing them so I cannot recommend these. Also, did not realize how small they were. I bought them for $500 plus. I tried uploading photos but was unable to do so.

My issue is with my wedding band. When inreceived it the sizing was smaller than what I ordered. I had purchased a 5.5 and it measured in at a 5.25 which ended up fine because it fit perfectly. The reason I know the size is because I brought it to a jeweler to get it inspected and was told this was the actual size. The next issue is that the ring has a milagrain design and is very pretty. However, after a little over two years of wearing it the milagrain has almost completely worn off. I sent it back and they accused me of bringing it to another jeweler and that jeweler must have polished off the design. This is absolutely not true and what jeweler would polish off the design of a wedding band?! Also, wouldn't I be asking a jeweler to fix it if they ruined it. Next Bluenile told me that I had the ring worked on since it was not a size 5.5. I told them it arrived in a smaller size for which they told me was impossible. Well it's not impossible and that is what happened. Then they asked me if I dropped something on the ring or if Input it through some trauma, which I have not. I simply wear the ring on a daily basis as I am sure most people do with their wedding bands. They thought I wanted a new ring but I wanted them to repair my original wedding band as it has sentimental value. I received the ring and it is not repaired. While the milagrain is back in some spots it is not in all and there are parts around the diamonds that are so worn I'm worried the diamonds will fall out. I am disgusted with this company. If you want quality and a product that will last a lifetime do not buy from Bluenile!

Blue Nile promises free returns, but if you buy expensive wedding rings the returns don't really end up being free. You see if you buy say a $5000 ring and decide you don't want it, you have to pay to ship it back to them. But you can't just put it in an envelop and mail it, you have to send it registered and insured which can easily run you over $50. So I'd choose a good local jeweler over Blue Nile unless you're really sure you're not going to return anything. I would point out though that the return went smoothly to Blue Nile's credit.

I ordered a ring from bluenile and thank god they let me do a free return. It was not at all what they said it was going to be.
