Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description Of Our Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Our Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company Blue Nile, Inc. (“Blue Nile”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a leading retailer of high-quality diamonds and fine jewelry. In addition to sales of diamonds and fine jewelry, the Company provides education, guidance and support to enable customers to more effectively learn about and purchase diamonds and fine jewelry. The Company, a Delaware corporation based in Seattle, Washington, was formed in March 1999. The Company serves consumers in over 40 countries and territories all over the world through its website at www.bluenile.com. Information found on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of its other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2016 , filed with the SEC on March 1, 2016 (the “Annual Report”). The same accounting policies are followed for preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The financial information as of January 3, 2016 is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016 , included in Item 8 of the Annual Report. Due to a number of factors, including the seasonal nature of the retail industry and other factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year or any other subsequent interim period. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates include the allowance for sales returns, accounting for taxes, and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Foreign Currency The functional currency of most of the Company’s subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries have been translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates effective on the balance sheet dates, while income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the periods presented. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. The Company offers customers the ability to transact in 23 currencies. Some of the Company’s subsidiaries engage in transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency. Gains or losses arising from these transactions are recorded in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Note Receivable and Other Investments The Company holds a minority ownership of a privately-held company in the form of convertible preferred shares, purchased for an aggregate amount of $2.0 million , which we account for under the cost method of accounting. The Company holds a $2.0 million note receivable (the “Note”) from the same privately-held company. As of April 3, 2016, the remaining balance of the Note was $0.6 million , with the remainder of the principal due within a year. The interest rate changes over the term of the Note to LIBOR plus a predetermined rate per annum . The Note is recorded at its face amount on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company holds a minority ownership in another privately-held company in the form of common stock and warrants, purchased for $280,000 , which we account for under the cost method of accounting. The Company reviews its investments for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of the assets below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded for the quarter ended April 3, 2016 . Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”, which delays the effective date by one year effective on the first quarter of 2018, with the option to adopt in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, which clarifies the following two aspects of Topic 606: (1) identifying performance obligations; and (2) the licensing implementation guidance. The effective date for both ASU 2016-08 and 2016-10 is consistent with ASU 2015-14. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, which changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance will require prospective application at the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2017, but permits adoption in an earlier period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2017 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance effective January 3, 2016. The impact of adopting ASU 2015-17 resulted in a reclassification of our current deferred income tax asset to non-current deferred income tax asset in the amount of $1.0 million , in our previously presented consolidated balance sheet as of April 5, 2015. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (“ASU 2016-01”),“Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which amends various aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This update will require prospective application at the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2018. For certain provisions, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, which increases transparency and comparability among companies accounting for lease transactions. The most significant change of this update will require the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for operating lease arrangements with lease terms greater than 12 months for lessees. This update will require a modified retrospective application which includes a number of optional practical expedients related to the identification and classification of leases commenced before the effective date. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2019. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-04 “Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20)”, “Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products” which narrows the scope exception for liabilities related to the sale of prepaid stored-value products to account for breakage on those liabilities consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2018, and shall be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method, or a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective, or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards as equity or liabilities and classification of cash flows. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 03, 2016
Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation As of April 3, 2016 , the Company had four equity plans. Additional information regarding these plans is disclosed in the Annual Report. Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each stock option or restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant that is expected to vest at some point in the future. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The fair value of each stock option on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock options granted are evaluated and revised, if necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience. The fair value of each RSU is based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. There were no stock options granted during the quarter ended April 3, 2016. A summary of RSU activity for the quarter ended April 3, 2016 is as follows: RSUs (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Balance, January 4, 2016 301 $ 29.25 Granted 159 24.85 Special Dividend Adjustment 11 — Vested (46 ) 25.09 Canceled (13 ) 27.93 Balance, April 3, 2016 412 $ 27.31 1.78 $ 10,920 Vested and expected to vest at April 3, 2016 344 $ 33.32 1.66 $ 9,106 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before applicable income taxes and represent the amount recipients would have received if all RSUs had been released on the last business day of the period indicated, based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on such date. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested was approximately $1.2 million during the quarter ended April 3, 2016 and $0.7 million during the quarter ended April 5, 2015 . During the quarters ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015 , the total fair value of RSUs vested was approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million , respectively. As of April 3, 2016 , the Company had total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs of $8.7 million , before income taxes. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average period of 3.2 years . Special Dividend Adjustment On February 9, 2016 , the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.70 per share of common stock (see Note 6: Stockholders' Equity). The Company’s equity incentive plan and related form of award agreement provide that in connection with the declaration of such special dividend, the outstanding RSUs shall be automatically credited with dividend equivalents to reflect dividends declared and paid and such dividend equivalents will be subject to all the terms and conditions, including vesting, of the awards to which they relate. The portion of the dividend equivalents that vest will be charged to retained earnings. Performance Based Award On February 15, 2016, the Company’s chief executive officer was granted approximately 45,000 RSUs which only vest if the Company achieves a pre-established net income target for fiscal year 2016. If the Company meets the performance target, 1/4th of the shares subject to the equity award shall vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/16th of the shares vesting quarterly thereafter, subject to the chief executive officer’s continued service. The related RSUs are included in the table above under RSUs granted. For the quarter ended as of April 3, 2016, the Company recognized compensation expense as it is currently deemed probable that the performance target will be achieved.

The interest rate changes over the term of the Note to LIBOR plus a predetermined rate per annum . The Note is recorded at its face amount on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company holds a minority ownership in another privately-held company in the form of common stock and warrants, purchased for $280,000 , which we account for under the cost method of accounting. The Company reviews its investments for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of the assets below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded for the quarter ended April 3, 2016 .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”, which delays the effective date by one year effective on the first quarter of 2018, with the option to adopt in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, which clarifies the following two aspects of Topic 606: (1) identifying performance obligations; and (2) the licensing implementation guidance. The effective date for both ASU 2016-08 and 2016-10 is consistent with ASU 2015-14. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, which changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance will require prospective application at the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2017, but permits adoption in an earlier period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2017 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance effective January 3, 2016. The impact of adopting ASU 2015-17 resulted in a reclassification of our current deferred income tax asset to non-current deferred income tax asset in the amount of $1.0 million , in our previously presented consolidated balance sheet as of April 5, 2015. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (“ASU 2016-01”),“Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which amends various aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This update will require prospective application at the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2018. For certain provisions, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, which increases transparency and comparability among companies accounting for lease transactions. The most significant change of this update will require the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for operating lease arrangements with lease terms greater than 12 months for lessees. This update will require a modified retrospective application which includes a number of optional practical expedients related to the identification and classification of leases commenced before the effective date. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2019. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-04 “Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20)”, “Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products” which narrows the scope exception for liabilities related to the sale of prepaid stored-value products to account for breakage on those liabilities consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2018, and shall be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method, or a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective, or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards as equity or liabilities and classification of cash flows. This update will become effective beginning the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and the timing of adoption.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each stock option or restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant that is expected to vest at some point in the future. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The fair value of each stock option on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock options granted are evaluated and revised, if necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience. The fair value of each RSU is based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. If the Company meets the performance target, 1/4th of the shares subject to the equity award shall vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/16th of the shares vesting quarterly thereafter, subject to the chief executive officer’s continued service. The related RSUs are included in the table above under RSUs granted. For the quarter ended as of April 3, 2016, the Company recognized compensation expense as it is currently deemed probable that the performance target will be achieved.
Special Dividends Adjustment	The Company’s equity incentive plan and related form of award agreement provide that in connection with the declaration of such special dividend, the outstanding RSUs shall be automatically credited with dividend equivalents to reflect dividends declared and paid and such dividend equivalents will be subject to all the terms and conditions, including vesting, of the awards to which they relate. The portion of the dividend equivalents that vest will be charged to retained earnings.
Inventory	Inventories are stated at cost
Earnings Per Share	Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and conversion of unvested RSUs, except when the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.
