A big THANKS from a lurker

[blangga70]

Hi,

I just wanted to post my recent diamond-buying experience. I am the type who tries to take in the maximum amount of info in the shortest period of time. When it came to buying diamonds, I knew almost nothing. My brother gave me a book he had used and also offered valuable advice. I went to a handful of jewelers, and started browsing the web. Luckily, I found pricescope fairly quickly. The information on cut quality was eye-opening. Jewelers almost never mention it, and one did not even know what I meant when I asked to see an ''Ideal'' cut.

If you had asked me two weeks ago if I would''ve considered making such an important purchase through an on-line vendor I think I would''ve laughed. However, the feedback in the forums convinced me that the internet vendors deserved a look. I settled on a WhiteFlash Expert Selection, due to the amount of information and the quality/price ratio. I am attaching the IdealScope image. Based on this and the SARIN numbers, I expect the diamond to look amazing. It arrives later this week, and I plan on giving it to my girlfriend soon after....I will post a follow-up e-mail for those interested.

Thanks again for this website!

Looks like you will be really happy with it. I''d love to to see pictures and specs when you have them.

Here are the Sarin numbers. To me these sounded like a very near miss to get the ACA label.

Great pick on the stone!

It may not even be that the numbers were non-ACA...WF will I believe move stones down to ES if they feel that the H&A pattern is not quite up to standard. In that case you would have gotten an even better deal!

Looks good! Do you have the 40x pictures? What sort of setting will that lovely go in?

 

[blangga70]

Hi,

Here is the 40x image. I''m putting it in the platinum sleek lines setting from WF.

Congratulations on a terrific diamond! Of course we all want to see as many pictures as possible! I too just bought from WF and was very happy with my experience, and my diamonds are incredible. You will be very, very happy with your informed decision and smart shopping!

Picked up the ring last night, and I''m very happy with it.

Of course I couldn''t resist, and opened up WF''s extensive packaging in the Fedex parking lot. I was fairly shocked by the amount of sparkle I was able to see just under my car''s dome light.

I''m attaching a picture I took this morning, again under poor lighting conditions. It only belongs to me for another few hours!

Blangga, that is an awesome looking stone! I was seriously considering getting the Sleek Lines setting, but in the end I went with the Royal Crown setting you can see here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/everything-is-happening-so-fast.37403/

I really did like the Sleek Lines though, and it shows off your diamond so well. We''d love to see more pictures when you have them

Cheers,
