Excellent buying experience with Whiteflash!

I had been meaning to write a review about my excellent experience buying the Vatche ""Swan"" Solitaire setting diamond engagement ring from Whiteflash about a year ago, but its been quite a whirlwind since then and posting here just kept slipping my mind. Recently, Whiteflash got back in touch with me to see how things were going -- much appreciated -- and here I am finally posting my experience. When I was thinking of proposing to my then-girlfriend, now-fiancee, soon-to-be wife, I did all the research I could, visited many brick-and-mortar local jeweler's as well as the ""big ones"" to see what I could get within my budget. At the end of it, I decided I would go with an online jeweler. Then the decision was easy: Whiteflash, due in no small part to the company's sterling reputation as an online jeweler, but also because of the incredible selection of settings (the Vatche designer Swan setting really caught my eye and I knew she would love it). The transparency of the ordering process was very good. I really liked being able to select a specific diamond and access its 4 C's; in this manner I was able to search, sort, and find the exact diamond I wanted to order. I placed my online order and Whiteflash got in touch with me right away to help complete the purchase. It helped greatly at this point to be speaking to someone, as I was definitely still nervous putting this large sum of money down on something you see only on a computer screen. Everything pretty much went smoothly from there (even when it didn't, somehow the initial credit card transaction went awry, but Whiteflash was good about staying in contact throughout the process). Its been a while but I want to say that I think the entire process from placing the order to receiving the ring was reasonably fast. I also want to mention that the way Whiteflash ships rings strikes me as very secure -- you are required to go to the carrier's office and show ID in order to get the package -- so no worries there. When I got the ring, I was so happy how wonderful it looked. Whiteflash had actually sent me photos of the ring taken by a professional photographer before they sent it, but having it physically here in its little box really is its own great feeling -- best of all, it looks amazing on my fiancee's finger and she loves it. She even says that others have complimented me to her when they see it, which is kind of funny to me... All in all, it was a great experience dealing with Whiteflash, and I certainly felt that they did an excellent job on the ring's craftsmanship as well as alleviating the usual concerns with buying an engagement ring online.

I rarely write reviews — good or bad. However, Whiteflash truly deserves one, and in the best possible way. I’m very impressed. After doing my latest research, I learned that Whiteflash is regarded as one of the highest-rated online diamond retailers. Now, as a customer, I completely understand why and can personally attest to that reputation. I primarily worked with Becca and Jennifer — both GIA-accredited and both outstanding. [As a side note, the CEO, Debi, personally responded to my initial inquiry to help connect me with the right person (Becca). When does that ever happen? Especially for an engagement ring purchase, that level of involvement went a very long way with me. Thank you, Debi!] This is the second engagement ring I’ve purchased, and the second time I’ve used an online retailer. While my experience with the first (also reputable) company wasn’t bad, it felt transactional — I was just another name in a queue. My overall satisfaction was “okay” at best. Moreover, whenever there was a question, someone new always responded; communication did not feel cohesive. Whiteflash has been the complete opposite. From what I’ve seen, many of their team members are GIA-accredited, and I know Becca and Jennifer are. Having direct access to knowledgeable, non-commissioned experts truly matters to me, especially on a purchase this meaningful. I came in with a strong idea of the diamond and setting I wanted to explore, and Becca took the time to walk through the stone, the setting, pricing, other options in detail. She explained why she liked the stone, backing her opinions with qualifications — not sales talk. She also followed up consistently by both phone and email to answer every question I had. Even after the sale, the service didn’t stop. I left a message in Whiteflash’s chat late on a Friday night and received a direct phone call from Jennifer on Saturday morning to follow up. I never would have expected weekend outreach — especially after the purchase was complete. The ring itself is stunning (a Simon G. setting with an Expert Selection diamond), but what truly sets Whiteflash apart is the customer experience. Despite being a prominent company, I always felt valued — never like “just a one-time buyer.” In fact, the experience felt more like working with a high-end brick-and-mortar jeweler than an online retailer, which is impressive considering I live roughly 1,700 miles away. Going in, despite all the positive reviews I’d read, I assumed the high-quality product (i.e., the ring) would be the main strength, and that customer service might be the weak link. I was wrong. The customer experience is just as exceptional as the ring. Simply put, other online retailers don’t shine as bright as Whiteflash — by any metric. I will absolutely be a repeat customer. As for engagement rings, though? I’m very glad the final one I ever bought came from Whiteflash. I already know it’s the only one I’ll need.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Becca. From start to finish, she was incredibly transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me make the right decision. Buying a diamond can be overwhelming, but Becca made the entire process feel clear, comfortable, and even exciting. She went above and beyond by providing detailed ASET/Idealscope images, photos, and videos of the selected diamond, which made a huge difference in understanding its quality and performance. Becca’s professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were exceptional. Thanks to her guidance, I felt completely confident in my purchase and couldn’t be happier with the result. I would highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for expert advice, transparency, and an outstanding diamond-buying experience.

It was a pleasure working with Becca and the Whiteflash team to design the perfect engagement ring for me and my fiancé!

Becca was great answering any questions I had and providing photos and videos of the diamonds that I was interested in. Every diamond that they showed me was gorgeous and I ended up picking a 2.09ct from their precision lab. They held it for me with a $1k refundable deposit while we were discussing a custom ring. They were very patient with me as I changed the ring design a few times and worked with me until I was 100% happy with the design! After paying for the diamond and ring, it took a little over 4 weeks. It came with a Cherry Wood Ring Box, which is a little on the bigger side, and nice packaging, including all of the diamond certifications. I would highly recommend Whiteflash! The actual diamond/ Ideal-scope/ASET/and Actual Hearts images/videos of their vetted diamonds basically guarantee you'll get a high performance round diamond (if that's what you're going for)!
