The Mondera website does a good job of providing customers with an informative, upscale shopping experience. Site features such as sliding diamond search tools and detailed jewelry-buying articles help to make the most of your browsing time, and the range of products available at Mondera is quite large including necklaces, rings, and men’s jewelry.

• Detailed photos and descriptions of all jewelry and diamonds available.
• Helpful resources containing instructions on how to choose a diamond and ring style.

Mondera’s option to build your own ring is likely to satisfy a wide range of customers, as well as the fact that the site provides semi-custom rings specifically customized to customers’ needs. We also like that the company offers free FedEx shipping on all orders, insured shipping, and a 30-day return policy.

The only drawback to shopping with Mondera are its prices. We found the same products at other places on the web for much cheaper than what Mondera offers. But the upside is that Mondera offers plenty of customer support options, and works hard to provide customized rings and orders. In our opinion, shopping with Mondera is likely to be a sound investment of your time and money. Mondera earns 5.5 Stars!

Ice.com is a good pick if you’re looking for decent prices on quality jewelry. The site was easy to navigate and the pages loaded quickly. The lay out and design was simple, straight forward and provided great browsing options.

• Monthly payment plan with no interest.
• Free return shipping & 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Ice offers jewelry and watches for men, women and children in a range of prices from less than $100 to more than $1500. Each item includes a detailed photo and specifications of gemstones and metal. We liked the wish list feature allowing you to save items for future consideration. An email link lets you tell a friend about something you saw.

We especially liked Ice’s interest free 3 payment plan, done automatically through your debit or credit card. They also have a live chat feature making it easy to talk with someone directly during business hours if a question arises that you can’t find an answer to on the site.

Ice.com is definitely a good place to visit if you’re in the market for quality jewelry at competitive prices, with finance options available. StarReviews gives them 5.0 Stars!

After visiting the website, we understand why Kay Jewelers is such a well-known jewelry retailer. The website offers a large assortment of jewelry at prices much lower than most other retailers we visited, and also has an extensive list of customer service options available.

• Kay Preferred Cardholders eligible for one-year free financing.
• Lifetime diamond and colored gemstone guarantee.

We were definitely attracted to Kay Jewelers’ site design, although we thought that the menu categories could be condensed a bit in order to simplify the browsing process. We really enjoyed the site’s selection of Leo Diamonds, but were disappointed to find that Kay Jewelers’ ring options were very limited, offering only two different cuts of diamonds. We were also unable to search diamonds by color, cut, or clarity.

In general, we love that Kay Jewelers offers such reasonable prices and offers frequent discounts. While they're definitely the place to shop if they carry what you're looking for, we'd like to see the website expanded to include a wider selection of products within each category before giving Kay Jewelers our full recommendation. We give them 5.0 Stars!

If you are looking for value priced jewelry, LimogesJewelry.com is a good place to shop. Although the website does not sell real diamonds or gems, some of their jewelry items are made of real gold and sterling silver.

• Regularly updated ‘New Arrivals’ section.
• Best Sellers section to show most popular items.

There are many personalized jewelry items such as rings, earrings, and necklaces. This online jewelry store offers free shipping for orders over $60.00 and offers a 10% discount for first time customers. We give them 4.5 Stars!

When we first entered the MySolitaire website, we were impressed by the attractive pictures and sleek site design. We liked that there appeared to be such a wide variety of products available, as well as a Gift Boutique with unique gifts for friends, family members, and significant others.

• Lifetime 70% buy-back and 90% trade up programs.
• Interest-free payment plans available.

Once we began shopping at MySolitaire, however, we couldn’t find any of the popular items we were looking for, and we discovered that the Design Your Own ring feature simply does not return any search results. We were also disappointed to see that the website does not include a FAQ section, hours listed for phone service and live chat, or an e-mail support form.

Although MySolitaire claims to offer rates 40 to 50% below retail price, we did not find the prices on the website to be much lower than any other jewelry websites we visited. In general, while MySolitaire may indeed offer a few good deals and some custom offerings, there are probably better options out there. MySolitaire gets 4.5 Stars!
