Hooray for Whiteflash and Me

P: 9/12/2007 11:56:17 PM
shminbabe Cut Rock Total Posts: 364 Last Post: 11/8/2007 Member Since: 6/19/2007	I'm so happy to tell you that I'm the proud owner of a lovely and delicate 7-stone, shared prong platinum set "Tiffany inspired" half-eternity band, made for picky ole me by Whiteflash! It arrived today and I am so thrilled! The stones are .14 pt, ACA / h & a diamonds set in platinum in a shared prong open gallery. I fell in love with the ring at Tiffany in August and wanted it to complement my new emerald cut ring. I thought I'd get the EC in a different setting as it was in a "temporary" solitaire setting but after persuing the stores and trying on a Memoire and Tiffany shared prong half-eternity band, I loved the way it looked with the EC solitaire. So I called Bob Hoskins at Whiteflash, who'd been searching for an EC stone for me. When he lost that sale to a local b & m where I saw, fell in love with, and bought the EC, he congratulated me anyway. I'd liked working with Bob and felt trust with him, not to mention all the raves about WF here on pricescope. So I asked Bob about making the Tiffany ring for me. So, we did! I saved about $3,000 on the ring and it's absolutely perfect. It is SO sparkly (so is my EC) and together, they are mesmerizing. The ring fits with my EC solitaire so nicely. I really feel like I've got the best of both worlds. I vacillated so much about emerald cut v. round/oval and I have NO regrets about that choice. But now I've got some real dazzlers in a petite and delicate ring that just give the EC and added zing that I can't stop staring at them! Of course, I can and will wear the band alone, which is nice, and together they don't look 'matchy-matchy' which isn't a look I'm drawn to. They are just plain great, together, or apart. The craftsmanship on the ring is impeccable. It's perfectly symmetrical, nothing is out of balance in the slightest. It's a custom ring though I'm sure they've made this style before as it's classic. I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Bob and the Whiteflash team. I'm a happy girl tonight. I'm really particular and when I picked up the Fed Ex box my biggest fear was that some little thing wouldn't be right and I'd be less than happy. But I'm not! What a great feeling. And my husband put a simple and sweet inscription on it too. I now have two precious rings that will become family heirlooms. Though I hope to wear them on my own fingers for many years to come, yet! Pics will follow. Jeannie

Thanks! Yes, I'll do a better job tomorrow, Angeline. I'm a size 5.5 but I had them make it in 5.75 (in case I gain weight or something). My EC is in a 5.5. I have no regrets about making it a little bigger in ring size. I gotta get to bed. It's a school night! It's really a small and delicate ring. Much smaller than it appears in these pictures. Jeannie

The colors in that first shot are scrumptious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,228 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	YUMMMOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
