We are ordering from Australia and Blue Nile seems to be the easiest for 1st time users.

If these aren''t suitable, or there are better diamonds on the Blue Nile website, please advise.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Kate

Hi Cupcate

They show potential, just a thought you could lower the colour and clarity a bit and go slightly bigger if you wished?

Numbers look good to me.

These two looks good for a pair of earrings.

Thanks for the quick responses!
Lorelei and Stonecold, the earrings are a gift for my sister, who is not a big jewellery person, so we feel .46 is as big as we would want to go for her to wear everyday (we initially wanted .4 ctw, but .46 is the smallest at bluenile).
So if you agree that the diamonds look good and that we''d be getting diamonds that sparkle, we''ll prob go ahead and buy them! Just a bit nervous about buying something like this without seeing them first, so thanks for the input!

Then stick with the first ones for size in that case or similar. As far as I can tell without images they should be pretty stones, the numbers look good, but I can't say for sure without images and as you might know, BN don't supply them!
