I just bought a ring for my Fiance from Brilliant Earth. My coworker recommended it to me, and when I checked - they were similar priced to Blue Nile so I just stuck with BE. I spoke with someone on the phone there, they weren't based in Seattle, they're in San Fran - but the ring still got here overnight no problem. I even sent the ring back to them to get resized, and it came back a week later, which is earlier than I expected.

I got about 0.5 carat, but ended up getting a lab created one, which is a bit cheaper than the mined diamonds. I spent about 2k after everything because I actually needed it rushed because I took too long to decide.

My girlfriend doesn't wear a lot of jewellery, so the 0.5 carat was plenty big for her. Personally I think having >1 carat is too big, I wouldn't want her to be scared walking down the street at night.
