I''m going to preface my report with a disclaimer: I FORGOT MY CAMERA! I have no pics for y''all. I know, HUGE no-no!
I had the good fortune of being in Houston this past week for biz, and requested an appointment with the folks at Whiteflash. WOW, their operation is very impressive! I had first visited their offices exactly 2 years ago, and since then they''ve moved into a much bigger space. It was cool to see everything IRL: from the bench/jewlery setting area, to where they ship out all the gorgeous sparkies.
Then came the fun: viewing diamonds! I have a princess in their w-prong setting. It''s a lovely stone, with great light performance, but it''s not ideal. So my plan was to check out their ACA princesses as i''m starting to grease the wheels for an upgrade and will certainly go with an ACA or ES when that time comes.
I saw two 2ct ACA princess stones. Almost positive it was these:

And this x-factor:

My word, they were SPECTACULAR!! They were fiery, sparkly and looked like they were lit from within. As many of you know, Brian handpicks stones for the ACA lines. They have to fall within certain parameters for them to be deemed worthy of the ACA distinction. As since you can''t really judge a princess by it''s numbers alone, the guesswork for selecting a quality stone goes out the window.
Bottom line: if you''re in the market for a princess stone, please just save your time and check out these beauties. They''ll WOW you!
I also got a chance to check out their earring settings, as I''m planning to upgrade my pair in the next few months. It''s a tie between the 3-prong martini, and the half bezel (to match my pendant). More on that project later!
My experience was awesome. Visiting with Brian and meeting some of the WF folks was a treat. They certainly have a customer for life!
