I am writing this post to encourage any of you who might be hesitant to do business with online vendors to take the plunge. They really do have your best interests at heart at Whiteflash.com. Here''s my story.

Back in April, I looked at a few diamonds at UnionDiamond.com''s local office. There was one in particular that caught my eye. Hubby wasn''t thrilled he said, he wanted to keep looking. I was bummed... but tried to be patient. A couple days later, I found another at WF, in the Expert Selection. I called WF and spoke with Jamie. She was extremely friendly, easy to talk to, informative, no pressure, etc. She later emailed me about the diamond-- ensuring that it had been personally inspected and was eye-clean (it is a D/SI1). I emailed back saying that hubby wasn''t ready to put the diamond on hold, but that I would work on him

and get back to her ASAP.

Well, hubby wasn''t cooperating. I let Jamie know that it might be a month or two before we could move on the diamond. Her email replies were always quick, friendly, funny, and encouraging.

A few days ago, I posted asking how soon a diamond at WF would appear as "sold" since I was watching my D/SI1 like a hawk, hoping it would still be around once hubby gave the green light. John (Quixote) PM''d me to answer and I told him the story. He was extremely kind, helpful, and told me that even if the diamond were sold he''d help find another one like it.

So yesterday was Mother''s Day. I received a beautiful new diamond SURPRISE from UnionDiamond (the one I saw last month and hubby said, "no"). He then told me about how awesome Whiteflash people were. How Jamie had first called and spoken with him that first day when she was trying to let me know that the diamond was, in fact, eye-clean and lovely. He told her he had bought me the diamond from Union two days earlier (!) and she was 100% willing to help him with the Mother''s Day surprise, by answering my many emails. She never let on a thing! And when I PM''d John, he spoke with Jamie and found out the situation. He then called my husband to ask if there was any way he could further help with my surprise!

Hubby & I are totally blown away with the kindness and courtesy extended to us by Whiteflash, despite knowing that we had already done business elsewhere. We are definitely going to buy from Whiteflash in the future-- as an EC RHR is on my wish list... but in the meantime, I encourage any of you who are thinking about buying online to consider my post. You will be dealing with really kind, generous, classy people if you deal with Whiteflash.



PS Union Diamond was awesome, too. More on them when I get ring back (it''s being set) later this week.

That''s wonderful!!! The people at WF were in on "deceiving" me about my proposal as well (they told me the ring wasn''t quite ready even though my FH already had it), and I love that they did because it allowed my FH to surprise me

They really are all top-notch people at WF.

BTW, congrats on your new diamond!!! Are there any pics?!?!

Stories like that help me in putting WF on the top of my list for future business! Maybe my dream pendant will be coming from Texas

It was such a pleasure being apart of such a wonderful suprise! I am thrilled that the suprise finally made it before I burst with anticipation! *giggles*

I know your hubby was probably ready to go bonkers with all the "nudging" I encouraged but it all worked out in the end!

May you wear your new diamond in good health and make everyone drool!

Well...

It''s a RB 1.81ct
GIA
D/VS2
MB fluorescence
DH has the Sarin info somewhere. It''s not perfect (I think it scores 2.1 on HCA) but it''s beautiful and a major change from my "good cut" original. My new stone is super fiery-- and the it has the blue fluor I wanted. DH said next one will be bigger and better. Ha! Gotta get these house reno projects done first.

I will post pics as soon as I get my ring back (hoping for Wed). My original stone will be set in a half-bezel pendant-- probably later this summer.

James & I were both kinda sad that we hadn''t done business with you guys. Hopefully in the not too distant future.

Your hubby was terrific to visit with. He obviously cares a great deal for you. The WF team was excited to help out, and we look forward to hearing from you again.

I have done business with WF twice in the past month (bought the 0.55ct, traded it up for the 0.72ct a week later) and I have nothing but great things to say about them! They will definitely get future business from me as well!
