I am going to chime in as well to suggest only buying it after seeing a photo of it. I bought a heart shaped diamond from Blue Nile and was disappointed by the off symmetry...I know that cut is prone to symmetry issues, but I had no idea before because I had never seen it. Lesson learned...
Good luck!

Will BlueNile take a picture of it before selling it to you?

From my understanding, BN drop ships so they don't have it 'in house' to take pictures of it.

Yup, like said, you can certainly return it. I paid for my shipping though (at least I think I paid insurance--it was awhile ago, but I certainly remember paying something!), and it was a headache getting the right packaging for it. I had to use special security tape to make sure no seams of the box showed.

Not trying to be a naysayer, btw--I'm sure it's a beautiful rock, it's just an added bonus to have pictures. :) And to me, that feature is very important.

Can't tell much about radiants by numbers, it could be a nice looking diamond or not - BN have 30 days inspection period.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...
