I just got engaged Wednesday to my boyfriend of four years. My ring is GORGEOUS if I do say so myself!
28.gif


Here are the stats:

Center Diamond:
1.51 G SI1 radiant cut (totally eyeclean)
GIA certified
6.99x6.37x4.13mm

Setting:
Custom Whiteflash setting in 14k white gold with 2 .20 carat F-G/VS tapered baguettes and 64 1.3mm ACA melee in the halo and on three sides of the shank. (3/4 the way around the ring.

I must say that my entire experience with Whiteflash has been outstanding. My sales representative Sheerah was great to work with-she is ridiculously friendly, helpful and responsive to e-mails and phone calls! I can''t say enough good things about her and Whiteflash as a whole!

Sheerah helped me find my center diamond and then I worked with her and the production manager, Leon Rocha, on my custom design. Both Leon and Sheerah were extremely receptive to any and all concerns I had about the setting and quickly changed and sent out new CAD images several times. After I approved my CAD images the ring took 11 days to be made.

The workmanship on my ring is perfect and I absolutely love it! I can''t believe how precisely set (and sparkly!) the tiny ACA melee are. I highly recommend Sheerah and Whiteflash to anyone looking for a diamond or custom setting. Thank you Whiteflash!

And now for the most important part...pictures!

First, here are the images Whiteflash sent out. They seem to have a slight yellow tinge to them but I can assure you, the diamonds and the ring are blindingly white!

I want to thank all the posters, regulars, pros and otherwise for educating me!

Because of Pricescope I have learned more about diamonds than I ever could have learned on my own! (It''s also how I found out about Whiteflash and all the other top notch vendors out there.)

Sadly, Pricescope has also left me with a diamond/jewelry wishlist a mile long!

Thanks again to everyone on Pricescope!

Thanks DMBsGirl, risingsun, Kaleigh, Aljdewey and Sundial! I''m going to have to work hard on my diamond photography skills...they are definitely not that good! (My ring looks so much better than the pics...it''s super white and sparkly in real life!)

Thank you Ellen, february2003bride, Dee*Jay, BunniBling, DiamondSeeker2006, Tacori E-Ring, justjulia, bling*diva*, Skippy123 and bluehue! (I hope I got everyone!)

I feel like my fellow Pricescopers are the only people who share my insane and sometimes obsessive love of diamonds and other jewelry so your compliments mean a lot! (And absolutely no one in my real life understands!)

Oh Thing2of2, I feel your pain. People think I am nuts, too. Some people just don''t get jewelry. I don''t get fancy cars. So be it!

Thanks Sophie, KtIceRN, kcoursolle, MiniMouse and belle!

KtIceRN-I love your gorgeous new ring! I saw your photos while mine was getting made and it got me soooo excited because they are somewhat similar in style and I knew mine would be fabulous if it was anywhere near as well-made and beautiful as yours!

And belle, I can''t post pictures for a bit because I have to sadly part with my ring for about a week! It came to me too big and I have to send it back to Whiteflash to get it sized.

They are reimbursing me for shipping, of course, but I have to send it by registered mail which they said usually takes around 4 days from where I am. (Although I just read that thread about registered mail sometimes taking FOREVER so I''m a little bit scared!)

I''ll take more pictures as soon as I get it back and hopefully hone my diamond photography skills!

Thanks again to all for your kind words!
