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!

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.
