Just wanted to throw out a sincere thanks for these two top-notch companies. They both helped make my shopping experience as smooth and easy as possible. Denise was my contact at whiteflash and she was great. She was responsive to my e-mails and extremely helpful. She answered all of my questions that she could.
For the ones she couldn''t answer (those pertaining to specifics on individual diamonds), she arranged a time for me to call up brian the cutter. He took an hour of his time to explain to me everything about the three stones i was looking at. He was very helpful and served as my "eyes" through this process.
Once I decided on a stone, I wired the money and it was here the next day. The free tool kit is great (although i''d really prefer to have some tweezers as opposed to that claw tool they give). Everything looks as promised. They met my expectations and then some. It was a very pleasant experience and I''d recommend them to anyone!
Now for niceice. . . my fiance-to-be really wants the tiffany 6-prong platinum setting. everyone and their cousin seems to have a copy of it, but i could not find one that i was really please with. after doing some homework and research, i decided to go with niceice. Robin and Todd are great people and have been incredibly helpful. They are also extremely professional. When I told Todd that I had purchased my stone from whiteflash, his immediate reaction was, "They''re a great company and do great work. Brian is a really good guy, tell him hello." It''s wonderful to see that kind of support and professionalism exhibited in this community. Todd, you are to be commended.
The setting is "custom" made so it took some time to get. Best original guess was 2-3 weeks which was pushing it (according to my desired engagement plans) but would work if there were no hitches. Well today, only 8 days after ordering the setting, i have it here sitting in front of me. Even in the midst of niki and her unfortunate circumstances, they took the time to offer me exceptional service. My engagement, while a big deal to me, is far less a priority in their lives than their own daughter.
The setting is gorgeous. For those who are interested in the classic tiffany 6-prong, i can''t believe you could find anything closer than what niceice can offer. I will try and post pics later. All in all, i am extremely pleased and i know my to-be will fall out of her chair when she sees the H&A stone in this gorgeous setting.
Kudos to Denise, Brian, Robin and Todd for their excellent customer service. I will recommend you all very highly to anyone I know looking for a diamond. Thanks!
