I was so excited when I learned recently that I could create the three-stone diamond ring I have always coveted. I wanted it to be spectacular; I wanted super ideal diamonds (real ones, not in marketing but in actual cut, with the AGS grading report, ASET images, and idealscope images to back it up); I wanted it to be easy. I can spend years searching for just the right stone and just the right setting (I have belonged to an online jewelry forum for over a decade) and sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's exhausting. I am also prone to regret after making a purchase because despite my years of collecting information and knowledge, I can still get it wrong. Enter Whiteflash. I didn't want to spend weeks, months, years searching numerous diamonds, pouring over the information about their cuts, ordering in various stones and comparing them.... Whiteflash offers up superior diamonds with their ACA line, so all I had to do was search their inventory and choose. That was the easy I was looking for with this project. I had the rough budget and a rough idea of the center stone size and side stone sizes. It did not take long to find three diamonds that had me jumping out of my seat. I sometimes have hesitation and a bit of nausea when making such a large unnecessary purchase. I didn't with this one. It just all came together. There was a slight hiccup after I ordered (verification-related, not diamond-related) and Whiteflash was on it with communication and a resolution. They were great! I had prepared myself to be disappointed when I saw them as I tend to have high expectations that are not often met. Nope. I was blown away. On the forum people talk about how the edge-to-edge brilliance and sparkle of ideal cut diamonds makes them appear larger. It's no joke. I was pretty shocked with how large the center stone looked. I went a bit smaller in size than I had originally considered in favor of higher color, and that turned out to be the right decision. I cannot imagine wanting to change anything about these stones. I am still kind of amazed at finding exactly what I wanted *that* easily - size, color, clarity, and even nearly-matching cut proportions within the already tight allowance of ACAs. However, I love that if I ever get an itch for a change (such as higher or lower color, or larger sizes), the upgrade policy is amazing and I will be able to do so easily. I cannot leave this review without a shout-out to Vera. I spoke to her a couple of times and she is just delightful. She represents Whiteflash well with her warm and genuine personality. My diamonds are currently being set and I cannot wait to have them on my hand, sparkling away. Thank you Whiteflash for making my dream three-stone come true, and for making it so easy!
