Blue Nile is a virtual treasure trove, and this sale includes all kinds of pieces — earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings — at every price point, starting as low as $49. All jewelry tastes are represented, too. A minimalist you know and love would cherish a delicate pair of lab-grown diamond studs (these are down to $306 from $610), while bolder types would fall for gemstone-studded hoops (score a pair for just $160). Blue Nile's style selection runs the gamut, just like their prices.
As for choosing the perfect piece for your spouse, mother, daughter or even yourself? All I can tell you is to follow your heart when browsing all this dazzling bling. You'd be surprised how much of an impact a simple, under-$100 pendant can have on someone you love just because it came from you. Just ask teenage me, who received the tiniest double-heart ring from my high school boyfriend — I keep it in my jewelry box to this day.
Need a little more inspo? Here are the 10 most precious pieces of jewelry I found at Blue Nile's Valentine's Day sale for budgets big, small and somewhere in between.
$100 and under
One of the best deals I found at Blue Nile — and a gift for all ages — is this pair of 10mm ball studs in sterling silver. The shiny spheres look substantial, but they're hollow, which means they're also lightweight and won't tug on your lobes. Think of them as the versatile, everyday earrings we all need at our fingertips.
It's all about pearls these days, making the gem both trendy and classic. This pendant is certainly a twist on tradition, though, with freshwater pearls stacked inside a white topaz-encrusted sterling silver setting. An 18-inch rope chain means the pendant lands just below the clavicle. You'll also love that it's 50% off for Valentine's Day.
$200 and under
This 14K white gold beauty lets her wear her heart on her wrist — a delicate, 7.9mm heart, that is. The thin cable chain is adjustable between 6.5 and 7.5 inches for the perfect fit. This is the kind of dainty sparkler that looks classy on its own or stacked with other bracelets. "I have received so many complements," one fan wrote.
If she loves a classic string of pearls, get her one for her wrist in the form of this freshwater cultured pearl bracelet that's half price. It comes in three sizes and has a 14K gold fish hook clasp to keep it secure. One shopper called the piece "perfectly elegant and light."
Gift a pop of red to get hearts pumping. This fiery set of 2.5mm garnet-studded hoops will send a message of burning love loud and clear. It's set in sterling silver and has comfortable snap closures. "I love them. I can sleep in them and they are elegant yet have a punch," commented a pleased purchaser.
$400 and under
This 14K white gold pendant bears two circles intertwined to infinity, a perfect metaphor for everlasting love. One side is embedded with diamond chips and the 16-inch cable chain sits right at the collarbone. "It’s dainty but classy and has just enough understated sparkle," one shopper wrote.
Need a new best friend this Valentine's Day? How about two? A girl can't go wrong with diamonds, especially these 0.5ct. ones in a 14K white gold setting — especially now that they're 50% off. A classic, high-quality set of diamond earrings is the Holy Grail of jewelry. Invest in yourself.
Splurge
A fan of 14K yellow gold will be beaming when they unwrap this pendant necklace embedded with a 0.75 lab-grown diamond. The 18-inch cable chain makes this one a longer necklace and great for layering. At $580 (that's 50% off), this is an incredible deal.
There's just something so glamorous and romantic about morganite — a pale, peach-colored stone that perfectly complements rose gold — as you can see in this exquisite bracelet that's on sale 50% off. Look closely and you'll spot white sapphires too. The seven-inch bangle closes securely with a box clasp. "Gorgeous piece of fine quality jewelry. My wife loves the bracelet which was an anniversary gift," wrote a proud partner.
Whether it's for a Valentine's Day wedding or just an I-love-you gesture, this is your opportunity to score a stunning piece of jewelry that's usually north of $5,000, but is now down to $2,650. Sapphires, a symbol of loyalty, are interspersed with diamonds and set in 14K white gold. Me? I'm absolutely smitten. And the love of your life will be too.
