A great experience and excellent value

I began researching the ins and outs of purchasing an engagement ring in early 2013, with a little steering from my girlfriend about what ring designs she liked. It was up to me to figure out the specifics. I learned all about the four C's, set a budget that worked for me, and visited a number of local jewelers. While they were all very helpful, it was apparent after a few visits that each retailer valued certain diamond characteristics differently and that my budget would not go as far as I had hoped at a local jeweler. At that point, I looked into online options, and Whiteflash came up repeatedly as a trusted company that people enjoyed working with. The WF website made it easy to select a design that matched my girlfriend's tastes and lifestyle, while easily staying within my budget. I should also mention that working with WF allowed me to purchase a much nicer ring for the money than I would have been able to afford in the local shops (the engagement ring appraisal reaffirmed this fact later). I decided to purchase a platinum "trellis" 3-stone diamond engagement ring, with two 0.50 ctw ACA side stones included. Once I was able to narrow down my list of potential center stones to about 10 choices, I called up WF to talk over the pros and cons of each stone with a professional gemologist (I specifically talked with Bob H.). He was very helpful, and took a more detailed look at each of the stones that day. We touched base later that afternoon and cleared up any lingering question I had. I never felt pressured or misled. He told me to think about it for a day or two, and that he would hold the stone in question until I made up my mind. I took a day to think about it, but the choice was easy. A few months later, after figuring out a good spot, I proposed to my girlfriend on Baltimore's Inner Harbor, and she said "yes." She also loves the ring; it's perfect for her. The quality and value of the diamonds at WF is unbeatable, and the service is excellent. They are easy to reach by email and phone, and very helpful without putting any pressure on the buyer. They cover the important questions as well, to help buyers make the right choice. I couldn't be happier with the quality of service I received from WF, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone searching for a beautiful engagement ring at a great value.
