Two purchases, one reasonable budget purchase, one a fairly extravagant.

I've worked with the good folks at Whiteflash over a few years time period. First purchase, it was reasonable budget item. I was looking for a nice gift for the better half. After looking around a bit I got a referral from a friend that know the jewelry market very well. After a few email exchanges, I went ahead and made the purchase. The better half could not be happier with the gift. It was beautiful. She would receive compliments on it all the time. Many people have similar looking rings, but the quality of the build and attention to detail this one had was much better than the others. Of course, when it came time to buy an engagement ring, the choice was obvious. The budget on this was a bit more extravagant. The good folks at Whiteflash were super helpful and patient with me as I had way too many questions and concerns. When it arrived?!?! Let me say I'm not a jewelry person. I don't even wear a watch. When I saw this ring, I stopped in my tracks and laughed and teared up a bit. It was just that gorgeous. When the now fiancee saw it, for the first time ever, she really had nothing to say. She works with a lot of C level executive and they all have to say something. People stop us in the middle of dinner, walking down the street, OMG can I see that ring? It really is that OMFG beautiful. And here's the best part for me, not only did I look fantastic to all her friends and colleagues and family, both of these rings appraised for WAY more than I paid. I don't think this t shirt and jeans, simple heterosexual male with no real fashion sense could ask for anything more.
