Non-Resizable Items

Eligible rings receive one free resize, up or down two sizes, within 6 months of purchase if the design permits.

Eternity bands, tension rings, rings made of alternative metals such as stainless steel, tungsten carbide and tantalum, and other rings that can’t be resized due to design or materials, which may include milgrain or ornate bands and some silver rings, cannot be resized, so please take care to order the correct ring size at time of purchase. For assistance determining the proper ring size, please contact customer service or use our online ring sizer tool. 

International Returns

Additional shipping charges may be incurred if packages are returned via alternate carriers (including, but not limited to Canada Post). Blue Nile reserves the right to charge your credit card for any fees we incur at time of package receipt. 

How To Prepare A Return Or Exchange

To return a diamond or jewelry item to Blue Nile, please follow the process below: 

1. Select your carrier and initiate your return. 
If returning within 30 days, a shipping label will be emailed to you once you have initiated your return (limit of two complimentary returns per customer, per year). If returning outside of 30 days (for resizing, cleaning, or repairs), you may return your merchandise using the carrier of your choice. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number that must be clearly written on the outside of the shipping box you are returning. Simply print the label and affix to the outside top portion of the box. We offer the following options to initiate your return: 

2. Package your item(s) securely in the original packing materials. If your return is for refund or exchange, please include any diamond grading reports or appraisal(s). Diamond grading reports and appraisals are not required for repairs and resizes. If your item was delivered with a diamond report and that report is not returned, you will be liable for the cost to replace the grading report. The cost to replace a missing diamond grading report is $150 and is the direct fee paid the original diamond assessment institution to re-grade that diamond. (or equivalent amount in other currencies) For security reasons, do not write Blue Nile anywhere on the outside of the box.

3. Insuring your return shipment for its full purchase value is strongly recommended. We are not responsible for lost or stolen articles. If using our complimentary return service, the shipping label emailed to you includes insurance protection. If you are not using our complimentary service (ex. return label quota already met, or returning for resizing, cleaning, or repairs outside of 30 days), shipping fees are your responsibility. U.S. customers can contact customer service to purchase a fully insured return shipping label.

After Your Return Is Received

Returns are processed weekdays and typically entered into our system within 24 business hours of receipt. Please allow five to 15 business days for this process to complete. 

If you are expecting a refund, credit will be submitted to your bank within three business days. It may take your bank up to 10 business days to post the funds to your account. Bank wire refunds typically take seven to 10 business days after the return has been processed. Returned orders with bank wire as the original payment method will be refunded via bank wire or ACH payment. Orders paid for through PayPal will be credited back to your PayPal account within two weeks. 

Please note that after a significant holiday, heavier return volumes can double the normal return processing times. 

If you are expecting a return shipment, you will receive an email once the outbound shipment date has been set. You will also receive a shipping confirmation email the day of the outbound shipment. 

Cancel Or Change An Order

We will do our best to accommodate change and cancellation requests whenever possible. Fast Ship, Same Day, and Next Day Delivery orders cannot be changed or canceled once payment has been processed.

For made-to-order, custom, and upgrade orders, changes or cancellations may be requested within 24 hours of payment by contacting our Customer Service team at 1-800-242-2728; requests may not be permitted after that period or once production, customization, or fulfillment has begun.

Approved changes may extend your delivery timeline. Shipping address updates may be requested any time before your order ships and are subject to verification and approval. Custom orders are non-refundable once customization or production has started. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval.
