The team from whiteflash definitely outdid it. I am very impressed with the end result! thanks for all the education from here and whiteflash i was able to make a very good purchase. The packaging from whiteflash was amazing, basically a bubble wrapped packaging inside a box, inside another box. Very secure and protected for sure. These are photos I took myself. The pictures do not do any justice :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

my whiteflash testimonial

"Top notch customer service from the team at whiteflash. I worked primarily with Liza and she has coordinated my entire purchasing experience. We've emailed back and forth numerous times mostly with me asking a ton of questions, all of which she has given me an answer. She has educated me and advised me accordingly in making such a purchase. I ended up with a Verragio platinum halo engagement with one of their A Cut Above round diamonds. They provided photos of everything and proper documentation as well. When I picked up the package (note: they dont deliver to your front door, they deliver to a fedex facility and require that only you with ID can pick it up, i find this a very good thing) I was happy to see that such a small ring/diamond was packaged in such a large box. I opened the box and saw another box, i opened that box and saw a bubble wrapped packaging, I opened that and finally got a folder of documentation, a box with a polish cloth, scope, and diamond tweezers, and most importantly, the ring box itself with the ring inside it. I was very impressed with the over packing that they did.

I opened up the ring box and in was the diamond ring, much more beautiful than it looked in photos! That thing sparkled for days, definitely worth getting a diamond with ideal cut (A Cut Above) as it made a huge difference in sparkle. I've seen friends engagement rings that didnt sparkle and perform as nicely as what I purchased for my fiance to be. I know she will love this, I love it already myself!

Thanks Liza and the staff of Whiteflash for the education, knowledge, accommodations, and patience with me in making this very important purchase. I've already told all my buddies to consider them with their future purchases."

Thanks everyone for the kind compliments! Whiteflash was kind enough to make accommodations for me in giving me both the whiteflash ringbox and the verragio ringbox. please give me an opinion on which you think would be nice for the ring/proposal. Both look lovely to me
