I am still getting to know this incredible stone and ring, but already I can tell you there are not enough superlatives. WOW. Seriously. It is perfect.
The chunky arrows give this stone such a fantastic personality. She’s clearly a precision cut modern brilliant—you can see her arrows in almost every light. Yet the size of those arrows give her a tiny bit of OEC flavor, which I just love.
Her name is Vivian. Which means alive. Because she truly seems alive. She’s changeable and really invites you to stare. She grabs colors from the environment and throws them back, but always manages to be white. She turns into a dancing glitter show under LED lighting (yes, I ran out to a local store with my favorite lighting so I could see). Outside she is a shower of rainbows.
As for color, while she does reflect environmental color like crazy, she manages to stay bright white. This may say as much about my lack of color sensitivity as anything else, but I truly do not see a color difference between this stone and my CBI studs, which are AGS Gs.
I’ve never had a stone with clarity this high, and it may make me a high-clarity convert. You can really gaze into it with a feeling that nothing gets in the way. It feels very pure and clean.
Trying to find a larger stone in this market was really an interesting experience, and I am so glad we chose Whiteflash. Your ACA specifications and upgrade policy made this leap of faith feel very safe. And you already know this, but good grief did y’all ever overdeliver! I still cannot believe this stone finished a clarity grade higher and nearly a quarter carat heavier than promised. Or that we didn’t have to pay for the difference. Truly, I did not ever think I would be wearing a stone with these specs.
I also want to rave about the setting. I had some very specific requests, and Hung nailed every single one.
• The prongs are exactly what I hoped for—Tiffany inspired tabs, ever so slightly softened at the corners.
• I asked that the prongs not protrude from the girdle and that they be as delicate as possible, and they are, in fact, FAR more delicate and precise than the settings I saw at Tiffany when I was looking. In real life all I see from the top view is the gorgeous diamond, and that was the goal.
• It was also important to me that the setting be comfortable and that the prongs not catch on anything, and it is fantastic in that regard. It is smooth and nothing has caught so much as a tiny fuzz.
• Height—The height is great as well. I had asked for the low side of medium, as this is already a tall stone. It is really impressive how your bench was able to find the height here. It is high enough that it shows the stone off, yet low enough that it is easy to wear.
• I asked that the prongs be close to the diamond on the pavilion side—didn’t want a lot of space between the prongs and the stone. The result is perfect. The prongs skim right up the sides of the stone.
Also, I want to give a huge shout out to the WF photography department. I have only had this ring for 24 hours, and I’ve spent an embarrassing chunk of that time trying to get good photos of it. Y’all take beautiful photographs—and I now know this is NOT an easy task! Diamonds behave a bit like toddlers when you point a camera in their direction.
Finally, a huge thanks to Becca for everything. You have truly gone above and beyond. I have lost track of how many times we’ve spoken at this point, but thank you for all your help guiding me through this process. I really appreciate that you never did any high pressure sales on the front end. Instead, you gave us all the information we needed to make a big decision, and room to make it. Once the decision was made to custom cut, you walked me through every step of the process with grace and patience. Since this stone was cut after AGS merged with GIA, I asked for additional Sarin scanning of the stone so that I could have the same information that would have been on an old AGS report. You were instrumental in getting that done, and I am so thankful. I am bowled over by WF’s customer service, truly. The only bumps in the whole process were with GIA forgetting the inscription initially, and with Jeweler’s Mutual. You were so kind to help move things along with insurance so that we would have coverage before the ring shipped, and I truly appreciate it. I hate that it didn’t work out to meet Debi for delivery of the ring, but it means so much to me that y’all offered to hand deliver. You have gained a customer for life through this process.
Thank you again for everything. This ring celebrates twenty years of marriage, so it means a lot that it is so spectacular.

I’m not going to be particularly able to form coherent thoughts for a minute. I haven’t been able to get great photos yet because it is blinding my camera.
I am seriously bowled over by this stone. I have never seen such chunky arrows and they are just delicious.

Well, what should I say, how could I find anything I don‘t like about this particular piece?! :) Yes, it‘s amazing indeed, thanks you.
I also like the complete information you provide to evaluate the diamonds. With other dealers it‘s often a pain to pull all the info out of their nose (as the saying is in Switzerland) to make a qualified decision. Or they just don‘t have it…
The whole process and the status updates were also good. As you can imagine, transferring these amounts to unknown organizations on another continent isn‘t necessarily very relaxing. I did my homework / due diligence beforehand, but still.
Everything was perfect. From time to time I keep an eye on other offerings from you which may be interesting to me.

Alaska Diamond Engagement Rings and Jewelry
While the months between Thanksgiving and New Year’s may be prime engagement season in many states, the state of Alaska operates on its own timetable. Most couples here tend to get engaged in early spring, as the land and our lives begin to thaw out and it becomes easier to get out and about. If you’ve been thinking about popping the question to your Alaskan girl, whether your idea of a dream proposal is a picnic under the Northern Lights or a snowmobile ride through the wilderness, your journey down the aisle begins with a trek to your local Alaska jewelry store.
And believe it or not, Alaska jewelers know ice! Here are the top Alaska jewelry stores in every category:
Best Authentic Alaska Engagement Ring: If you are looking for a piece of jewelry that is true to Alaska’s spirit and culture, you have to try Alaska Mint, the store of the official US Mint of Alaska. Although the store specializes in antique and rare gold coins, they also have a sizable collection of truly unique jewelry pieces, including rings set with raw gold nuggets, authentic gold-laced quartz, antique gold coins and other one-of-a-kind materials. Some items can be expensive, but these are jewelry items you literally will not find anywhere else.
Best Classic Jewelry: If you are looking for a traditional engagement ring in Alaska, you have to steer clear of the tourist-trap souvenir stores and check out Fifth Avenue Jewelers, in Anchorage. For over 40 years, Fifth Avenue has been offering New-York-City-style fashion and elegance to Alaska jewelry-seekers, all with the kind of small-town service and friendliness you would expect from a locally-owned shop. In addition to a full line of classic engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewelry, Fifth Avenue also stocks pieces created by local Alaska jewelers and artisans.
Best Jewelry Gifts: Bringing Alaska jewelry gifts back to friends and family in the Lower 48? Don’t waste your time at the overpriced tourist traps—visit local favorite The Rusty Harpoon. This local Anchorage favorite, located very close to the starting point of the Iditarod sled dog race, features fine jewelry inspired by local tribal legends and symbolism. A carved sterling silver bracelet with a raven and eagle represents love and the union of two souls, while a gold ring with an image of a wolf represents healing. Other pieces feature local materials like ivory, fossilized whalebone, jade, and quartz.
est Designer Jewelry: Famous-name designer jewelry emporiums may not have set up shop in Alaska, but that doesn’t mean that Alaskans have to be deprived of the best in designer engagement rings, and they don’t have to pay exorbitant shipping fees to have them delivered either. Local Anchorage jeweler Michael’s Jewelers can satisfy the most demanding jewelry shopper with his impressive inventory of engagement ring settings by the likes of Verragio, Tacori, Ritani, and Scott Kay. Each of these quality settings can be finished to your specifications and set with a top-notch Hearts on Fire™ diamond, for a ring that will shine brighter than the Northern Lights.
