Whiteflash ACA Bracelet ....... Just Because |

This is a “just because” gift that almost didn’t come to be. It started in January, one late Friday evening when I was surfing through the sites and came across Whiteflash’s new tennis bracelets. In a moment of spontaneity (or insanity), I clicked the buy button and filled in my info. As good a way to drop some unplanned thousands as any I suppose. The following few days I started to wonder if I had picked the right style and started to ask my friends here a PS about styles. Not wanting to make a mistake I asked them to hold it until I decided on style. I visited a few stores and vacillated more than a leaf in the wind. To make things worse my wife found some pics on the computer one day and asked what they were…. Umm something really old I was looking at a while ago (lame excuse). Anyways after changing my mind about 1000 times, I went back to the original WF bracelet I had originally ordered (go figure!). Another in the series of: how to waste not only my time, but also Denise’s. This brings me to give kudos where they are due. Denise was incredibly patient throughout this whole process (I would have fired me a long time ago) and put up with endless requests. In the end she had them shorten the 6 carat version of the bracelet for me by ½ an inch and make it in 18 kt white gold. The finished version has 45 stones in VS F/G and 5.5 ctw. The bracelet is beautiful. All of the stones are extremely well cut ACAs with perfect arrows and IdealScopes. It’s amazing to see 45 small stones in a piece so well cut. It sparkles like crazy with tons of fire. An outstanding job by Whiteflash! Value was very good and again I can’t say enough about Denise. I’m usually much quicker in buying (it only took a 5 minute phone call to buy the 4.5 c eternity ring), but this time I was schizophrenic. Denise and WF deserve medals for putting up with me. Now if only she would cheer for a football team that had a chance to win. Thanks to my PS friends as well that helped me through the decision process.

Here’s a wrist shot from WF. Let’s try to guess whose wrist that is. Hmmm, Denise, Lesley, Judi, Vera? Maybe John or Bob?

Bob and I couldn't model the bracelet. We were out on a belly-button ring shoot that day.  It's extra-nice to see an esteemed forum vet like yourself so pleased, Noob. Thank you for the gracious feedback... We think Denise is pretty nifty too. Best wishes from everyone here. John |

That bracelet is divine - I love the way the stones are set. I have always wanted one but thought it would be too dressy for every day wear. I couldn't bear to spend all that money if I wasn't going to wear it often. Is Mrs Nobbie going to wear it every day or just when you need to play 'dress ups'?

Nice bracelet, too bad I didn't get to see it live and up close! So guess what? That is not my wrist in the picture. It does give me a very good idea for a Christmas present for my wonderful wife! Since I know how busy we will be during Christmas it will have to be done by October. I do not wait to the last minute. I already have one present in my hiding place for next December. dimonbob, GG |

It's just beautiful noobie! What a beautiful "just because" gift! Boy, if we could clone you and DF, we'd have it made...guys who like diamonds! Oh, and we should clone DiamondBob too...a man who shops ahead of time for gifts.

Thanks so much guys, it is really stunning. They did a great job and it came in a nice wooden box as well. I gave it to her last weekend after dinner. I made and wrote a small card with all of the "just because" reasons I was giving it to her. I think there were a couple of wet eyes. BTW, what are Jenn's bunny ears ... what did I miss?
