You guys felt lukewarm about the first engagement rings Monique Lhuillier designed for Blue Nile, complaining that they were a little TOO bling-tastic. Lo and behold, her latest offerings are scaled back—WAY back.
Engagement Ring 1
Monique Lhuillier Solitaire Engagement Ring, $980 (setting only).
Engagement Ring 2
Monique Lhuillier Cathedral Solitaire Engagement Ring, $980 (setting only).
Here are three other Blue Nile solitaires, to give you an idea of how the Monique ones are different:
Six-Prong Nouveau Knife-Edge Solitaire Engagement Ring, $930 (setting only). Fluid Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring, $1,200 (setting only). Flared Solitaire Engagement Ring, $845 (setting only).
Do you like the scaled-back look of Monique Lhuillier's latest engagement rings? Which of these engagement rings is your favorite?
I definitely think the Monique settings are the prettiest. They sort of look like flowers, right? No. 2 is my fave! And I really like that the Monique rings aren't considerably more expensive than regular Blue Nile rings. It would stink to feel like you were just paying for a label, ya know?
