Whiteflash ACA and Expert Selection: What's the Difference?

Every Whiteflash ACA and Expert Selection diamond is located at Whiteflash, living in our vault. We sourced these diamonds ourselves and they are exclusive to us. 

Whiteflash Expert Selection (ES) diamonds

  

Many Expert Selection diamonds come from our Antwerp sightholder. Others come from different sources. Whiteflash selects each one to appear in our Houston inventory for a balance of distinctive beauty and pricing. Some ES diamonds may not be graded ideal in cut, but they are an ideal value. The purpose of ES is 'best value for the money.' Whiteflash has carefully chosen each diamond for beauty and quality to fit every budget. 

Our line of Expert Selection diamonds is an array of fancy shapes and exceptionally valued round brilliants.  Many of these are Whiteflash ACA candidates that missed branding by a very small margin; an exceptional value.  Rounds in this category often have proportions meeting AGS and GIA standards for top performance and fancy shapes are held to proven quality standards.  Some brilliants did not conform to the strict standards imposed on our Whiteflash ACA superideals, but may closely resemble Whiteflash ACA in appearance. Expert Selection diamonds represent a small percentage of the world’s best cut diamonds.  

Whiteflash ACA Hearts & Arrows diamonds

  

Whiteflash ACA is the leading H&A diamond sold exclusively on the Internet, and remains the only H&A diamond with a guarantee of true optical symmetry. 

This is a level of cut precision far beyond ideal. After meeting proven AGS ideal parameters Whiteflash ACA is taken much further. Each is faithfully brillianteered so that all 57 facets line up perfectly with their opposites. It requires significantly more time, rough material and personal attention than other cuts. In every Whiteflash ACA the most minor facets are crafted to specific proportions. When all of these tiny mirrors are precisely brought into their most effective position the result is a brilliant superideal diamond where every facet is in sharp, focused alignment with the others. The crisp, true hearts and arrows patterning, and optimum light return through all lighting conditions is Whiteflash's design for best Visual Balance™. 

Many diamonds are beautiful and all diamonds sparkle well in bright jewelry store lights. This is because the sheer volume of light returned to the eye overpowers any fine-tuning of the cut. Whiteflash ACA diamonds go further. In diffuse office lighting and soft conditions like candlelight the crisply aligned mirrors in each Whiteflash ACA optimize even subtle or distant light so that it has life and performance where other diamonds do not. With these diamonds you will see broad flashes from across a restaurant in candlelight. It’s a logical result of every mirror inside the diamond working in harmony, and the crisp, true optical symmetry that is Whiteflash's signature. This level of fine-tuning is a marriage of old-world knowledge with new-world technology for maximum performance in a diamond. 

Whiteflash ACA diamonds are designed by Whiteflash and carefully cut by our Antwerp sightholder. Each Whiteflash ACA passes a set of rigorous tests for craftsmanship and light performance beyond the AGS ideal grade, and each is protected by our guarantee of top optical symmetry Fewer than one diamond in a million have hearts and arrows patterning and Whiteflash ACA stand with the most elite. They have been described as the most visually balanced diamonds in the world.  

A Third Option:  The virtual diamond database 

Another option we offer is access to the virtual diamond database that many vendors use. We use information provided by the supplier to determine it’s Whiteflash Diamond Rating (we cannot guarantee details of outside diamonds).  At Whiteflash we don’t believe in having a diamond drop-shipped to you from a supplier. We will never sell you a diamond without first bringing it for our own expert inspection and analysis to verify it meets advertised criteria.
