Whiteflash vs. James Allen vs. Blue Nile

I looked at Blue Nile and James Allen. Frankly, on quality and price neither Blue Nile or James Allen Reviews live up to what you guys did for me! The ring has blown everybody away who has seen it so far. I was lucky enough to be able to propose on a Bahamian island on the holiday of a lifetime thanks to a college friend. The 'fire' in the diamond really sets the ring apart - it catches the light so brilliantly. We were holidaying with other Americans (Houstonians no less!) - what I would say, without being intentionally offensive, is that others have opted for 'quantity over quality' - I noticed many 2ct rings that did not have the lustre, or had to be helped out via a halo etc to try and stand out - as if they were trying too hard. Back in the UK, where diamonds tend to be significantly more expensive/smaller, the ring stands out even more. Lisa has had 3/4 comments on her ""rock"" in her office - naturally she is happy and proud! I wanted to take time out to thank you all personally in managing the engagement minefield. The quality of service, information, packaging etc has blown me away. Not having a giant logo on the ring etc was a key point - the 'W' is subtle and elegant. And the best of all was , she said YES!!! I can't imagine how Blue Nile nor James Allen could compete, I really can't with plain certificates and a generic approach. You made the experience SO personal and we are 1,000's of miles away!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience working with Becca and the Whiteflash team. Becca educated and guided us through the entire process to help us pick out the perfect ring. There was no pressure to go a particular way and the final decision was completely my fiancé’s. Becca was also great with communication over email or phone; just great customer service. Placing the order and picking up the ring was also a seamless process. I’d highly recommend Whiteflash.

I know it was a lot to get the length of the chain just right but I’m so glad we did because it hits me perfectly. Hung did a great job on the prongs—they really do echo the ones on my ring. As seems to be the case with ACAs, the diamond is simply glorious. She is so full of fire! Thank you for all your help!
