Loose Diamonds 

PeerlessGems are now pleased to be associated with Blue Nile, the world leaders in the sale of fine loose diamonds and diamond jewellery. Blue Nile offer the best quality and the best diamond prices, as well as the widest choice, anywhere on the internet.

Blue Nile's user-friendly website is very easy to navigate, providing full details of every diamond imaginable, including a photo of the actual diamond grading report, with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can also, if you wish, view a huge variety of platinum and gold ring mounts, as well as a vast range of diamond jewellery, such as earrings and pendants, all at truly unbeatable prices.

In order to ensure that every diamond is exactly as described, Blue Nile provides a GIA or AGS Diamond Report with every loose diamond they sell. These two gemmological laboratories are acknowledged as being the most accurate and unbiased diamond grading institutions in the world. If you have found a GIA graded diamond that you like on the Blue Nile website, you can always double-check the validity of the diamond report here. 

The Price Challenge: Visit your high street jewellers and ask to see their range of diamond solitaire rings. When you find the ring you like best, ask for a written quotation giving a full description of the ring, and the price including VAT. Insist that you want full details of the diamond, including cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, and also whether the diamond has a grading report from the GIA or the AGS (your jeweller may use another gem lab for grading). When you have these details, visit this link to see the huge savings you can make: Find the perfect diamond at Blue Nile. We think that you will be very pleasantly surprised!

Sadly, it's a fact that the majority of people buying a diamond engagement ring or other diamond jewellery have no idea of the real value of the diamond they are buying. Those reassuringly expensive diamonds in the jeweller's window may look gorgeous (thanks mainly to strategically placed lighting!), but the asking price is usually several times their true market value. The fact is that you are likely to be paying G/VS2 money for a K/I1 diamond, because nearly all diamonds (except I2 and I3 clarity) look lovely to the naked eye, and it's only when you see an ideal cut one carat D/IF that you realise there is a difference (about £8,000 difference at a conservative estimate!!).

This is where we come in. We are not in the business of selling or promoting inferior diamonds at inflated prices. We believe that the buyer works just as hard for his/her money as the seller, and that buying and selling should be a partnership in which both parties agree on a fair price. That is why we wholeheartedly endorse the Blue Nile website. Everything is clearly described and verified right down to the last detail, so that there is no doubt in your mind about exactly what you are getting for your money.

Take a look at the diamond at the top right of the page. This is a 3/4 carat emerald-cut G colour, VS1 clarity, clear and colourless to the naked eye. What's more, it has a near perfect cut, although it is just outside the preferred width/length ratio. This is the kind of diamond that represents exceptional value for money. It would make a beautiful engagement ring if set in platinum, and the finished ring would cost between £1,800 and £2,000 (£4.000? on the high street). The same ring set with a D/IF emerald-cut diamond, with a perfect cut and a 1.5 to 1 ratio would cost at least twice that amount, but the less expensive diamond would still look absolutely stunning and you would save around £2,000. By the way, that diamond may still be for sale in our eBay shop.
