Kanter replaces Vijay Talwar, who took the role on an interim basis after former CEO Diane Irvine resigned last November as the company struggled to pass rising diamond costs to consumers.
Talwar has been appointed as Blue Nile's general manager and will also lead its international business.
Kanter, who has more than 25 years of merchandising and retail experience, was heading Moosejaw Mountaineering and Backcountry Travel Inc, an outdoor apparel retailer, prior to joining Blue Nile, the Seattle-based company said in a statement.
