my old post was "opinion on this stone" while i was awaiting my ring... now its "thank you whiteflash"... bob you did an awesome job with this one and please pass my thanks on the jeweler who made the setting... i had reservations about ordering online... very nervous... not anymore... the ring exceeded my expectations to say the least... i also took it into a store locally that carries HOF diamonds (they wanted me to bring it in so i could compare the stone with their HOF... thinking i would see a difference and return the ACA diamond and buy the HOF)... they tried to show me the inclusions and put the two side by side but to their surprise they both performed equally well... then they asked me how much i paid and it was considerably less (actually a LOT less) than their diamond... mine was a 1.295 H SI1 ACA and theirs 1.25 F SI1 HOF... the salesperson told me that i got a great diamond and she couldn't believe the price i got it for and left it at that... well thats my story and heres a few pictures :)

It's BEAUTIFUL and very classic! Did you post specs on the stone, it sounds similar to my old one which was fabulous as well from WF! I really love that setting! Is that the Tiffany 6 prong or the Fine Line by Le? Hard to tell...but whichever it is, it really looks stunning. Great job!! ________________________________ |

mara and valeria thank you for your kind words... heres the details... actually easier for me to post a link to the site http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/diamond_Details.aspx?itemcode=AGS-6044101 regarding the setting... i couldnt pick one, so i took parts of rings that i liked and put them together ;) its the head of the tiffany knife edge... its the band of the fine lines, with the two holes filled it; or i guess you could consider it like a tapered tiffany band... thanks again

I didn't think anything could put the grin I've worn for the last 3 hours back on my face but you sure did. I'd normally wait to comment but it was such a pleasure to log on and read about your experience that I had to reply right away. Thanks for sharing this. I'm off to put some Star Wars photos in the DH forum, but neither my story nor my photos can match yours

Thank you Mr. 5-0. It was a pleasure working with you. I will have to stop by and say Hi next time I am in Aloha land. My wife and I were married over there almost 10 years ago. We will be back on our 10th anniversary. Hawaii is a great place for a honeymoon!! Where does one go on a honeymoon if you live in Hawaii? Enjoy your ACA and let us know how it goes when you give it away? dimonbob, GG |
