The Best Sites to Buy Jewelery:
Ranking the Top 3

Over the past decade people have been purchasing their engagement rings in large numbers from online jewelers. People enjoy the privacy of shopping from home.

Of course, not having a pushy sales person is a perk of shopping from home as well. Also, because these jeweler sites don't have a storefront, they are able to sell their diamonds for less than a plaza jeweler, for example.

The problem with shopping online is that there are so many sites selling diamond rings and other jewelery, that its difficult to separate the trustworthy merchants from the shady ones.

Through my own personal diamond ring search I have carefully researched over 50 of these online jewelers and chose 3 of what I believe are the best, and most trustworthy ones. I made my diamond ring purchase from one of them, and I know several people personally that have made their purchases from the other two.

My objective here is to not push you to go with one online jeweler over another. My goal is to give you all the information you need to make and informed decision about which jeweler is right for you.

The 3 online jewelery sites I have chosen are Mondera.com, BlueNile.com, and Ice.com. Here's their summary:

Choose Mondera.com for trust, experience, and quality.
Choose Bluenile.com for the largest selection.
Choose Ice.com for unbelievable prices.

Mondera.com would appear to have the other sites beat with their free perks such as flat rate international shipping, and free Fed EX Air shipping. Its also nice to get the other freebies like the gift box, presentation box AND a gift card.

If you have specific engagment ring design in mind that you would like to design, or simply enjoy the freedom of customization, Mondera.com hands down has the most detailed process to customize your diamond engagement ring.

BlueNile.com has an amazingly vast selection of diamond engagement rings. Although their customization may not grant you all the freedoms of Mondera.com's flexibility, BlueNile.com's massive quanitiy of inventory more than makes up for this minor shortcoming.

Finally, if you don't really care about customization, and just want to choose from some beautiful pre-made (pre-set) diamond engagement rings, Ice.com is definitly the best choice for you. Because their rings are pre-set, they are able to offer you a lower price than their competitors for a similarily custom designed ring.

So, Who do I Choose?

That is as I said entirely up to you. Visit all three sites and see what you think. Who's selection offers what you're looking for, are the prices reasonable for what you want?

Rest assured that no matter which of the these three online jewelery sites you choose to purchase your diamond ring from, they are all trustworthy, offer quality products, and have proven excellent customer service.
