Leading online jewellery retailer Blue Nile has taken a first-of-its kind initiative with the introduction of a new type of merchandise on its site – a relatively higher-end, exquisite new Estate Jewellery Collection.

The collection has been handpicked by Blue Nile’s jewellery experts who used parameters such as quality, originality, and craftsmanship. There are creations by well-known jewellers such as Marina B. and J.E. Caldwell as well as others.

The range of jewellery includes pieces at different price points. On the one hand there are a pair of Victorian Era diamond earrings in 18k white gold with 3.30 carats of old European-cut diamonds and filigree detailing at under $10,000. On the other there are also more elaborate designs in the Under $100,000 category such as a platinum choker necklace featuring a detachable brooch with a floral diamond motif. It is adorned with over 12 carats of diamonds, including a single 1.25-carat European-cut diamond on the clasp.

The collection also includes an exquisite Zambian emerald-and-diamond statement necklace as well as matching drop earrings set in rich 18k yellow gold. The pieces are part of a contemporary set designed by Marina Bulgari and can be purchased together or separately.
