What the heck, are those laser beams coming out of it?!?!

Well everything went PERFECT over the weekend! I proposed Friday night and she quickly and very excitedly said ?ˆ?yes?ˆ?! On our first date we were supposed to go to dinner and then ice skating on Boston Common; well, the restaurant was packed and then dinner went so well that we didn?ˆ™t have time to go ice skating. We have been talking about how we need to go skating ever since (over 3 years ago!) so I gave her ice skates for Christmas and scheduled a date (Saturday which then changed to Friday). So Friday I left work early, picked up some nice roses, some really nice chocholate, a nice bottle of champagne (and some nice champagne flutes), and went home and cleaned the house spotless (I hid the champagne and chocolates to avoid really tipping her off). When she got home I gave her the roses and explained that I got off work a little early so I figured I would surprise her with a clean house because she has been so busy and stressed recently. She was very excited and I found out later that she was a little suspicious that I was going to propose that night until I left my coat at home (it was 60 degrees out in Boston in January?ˆ¦go figure!). I didn?ˆ™t have anywhere to hide the box so I just put the ring in my pocket (wrapped loosley in tinfoil to avoid it slipping out, and so I could get it off before I took it out of my pocket!). I guess she was a little disapointed when I told her I wasn?ˆ™t bringing my coat. Well we went ice skating and then walked through the Commons towards the restaurant where we shared out first date. I was trying to make our way across the Commons to the Public Gardens but she suddenly gained a sense of direction and insisted that the restaurant was the other way?ˆ¦she knew where she was going for about the first time ever of course so I just proposed right there. She was so exicted and happy and absoultely LOVED the diamond!!! It looked even bigger and more beautiful once she put it on her finger! Everyone who has seen the ring has been shocked at how gorgeous (and big) it is. Here are a few comments she?ˆ™s heard: ?ˆ?Holy sparkles!!!?ˆ? (our recently engaged friend Teresa) ?ˆ?What the heck, are those laser beams coming out of it?!?!?ˆ? (Teresa?ˆ™s fiance Greg) ?ˆ?Vanessa put that ring away I can?ˆ™t see the TV because of the reflection?ˆ? (our friend Kate during the game) Her recently married friend who is really into diamonds is coming over today to ?ˆ?inspect?ˆ?. I can?ˆ™t wait to hear her reaction because you could tell she was a little nervous/skeptical when she heard over the phone that I got it online (I told my fiancee Vanessa that she has to tell her the spec?ˆ™s and tell her that it is AGS certified so she doesn?ˆ™t leave thinking it is too good to be real). The stone looks beautiful and she loves every aspect of it (including the inclusions which were nicely hidden by the setting; she actually likes the inclusions because she can look at it and know it is hers and it is unique, yet noone would be able to see them without really taking the ring off and inspecting, kind of our own little secret!). I really like how it changes character under different lighting! I have also been having a lot of fun showing her your site and Pricescope and explaining how I made my decision (I think she?ˆ™s impressed). It is nice to be able to finally share that fun experience with her! Thank you so much for all your help! We will send some hand shots as soon as I get a chance to download the pictures! Sorry about the really long e-mail, I am just very excited! Thanks again!

She loved the ring and especially the diamond!

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)!

My experience with Whiteflash was incredible!

From day one, Becca helped me out with the process. I was able to get in touch with her over email and on the phone. She is very patient, explained everything so well, and took the stress out out of the process. She remained in touch throughout and kept me updated. She was very helpful with the stone and ring selection and sent really good pictures and videos of the stone once it was brought in by them. The ring I selected was originally meant for a round stone (and I wanted an oval), and she was quickly able to check for me if that request could be accommodated by the ring-maker. As for the website itself, the experience there was great as well. The filters present on the site for searching stones are great, and I was easily able to narrow down my selection to a handful of stones after I did my research on diamonds (which btw, I would highly recommend - it is pretty cool to know all these cool details about diamonds). The service (aside from Becca) was also very great. They were patient and helped me process my payment through my preferred method.
