It’s no secret that I love James Allen and think they are the #1 place to buy an engagement ring online – or off. The level of transparency they provide into the engagement ring buying process is unmatched by any of their competitors in the online space.To start, they are the only online engagement ring retailer who provides a 360-degree image of every diamond on their site so that shoppers can see them up close with the same – or better – detail that you would get walking into your local jewelers. But since that has been covered here already, let’s examine some of the other features that put James Allen above the competition and help demystify the diamond buying process for their customers.

Search for your dream ring among James Allen’s recently purchased rings |
James Allen has extended that 360-degree technology to their engagement ring settings as well – cataloging every beautiful creation on a searchable page on their website where you can search your dream ring by budget, style – from vintage halos to modern tension settings, shape and metal.
These detailed images of their diamonds are not the only time James Allen lets us get up close and personal with their merchandise. Before shipping out a completed ring, they photograph and catalog that ring on their website in their Diamond Inspiration Gallery. Here, future engagement ring purchasers can see 100s of engagement rings created by James Allen and also see all the stats on these rings including diamond size, cut, clarity and price.

These customer created rings are also linked to the setting styles purchased – so when you are considering an engagement ring setting you can see what that will look like with the diamond shape you’re interested in.
