Whiteflash eternity rings, melee diamond really A Cut Above?

[silencer]

I don't know if anybody noticed, a lot of the eternity style wedding rings (or pave settings for that matter) Whiteflash carries, they claim that the diamond melees on them are A Cut Above Hearts & Arrows. Are they really? Those melees goes from as small as 0.01ct each. How do you cut something to be ACA H&A on such a small diamond? And if they are really all ACA H&A, wouldn't the price of those rings be much higher, considering the extra work done to cut them that well?

Example:

This is just an example, all of their eternity rings or pave settings claim this...

I think maybe it was Yssie who recently posted a close up of one of her melee stones. I hope she sees this but I will try to find it.

I found a close up of my WF diamond eternity band that is made up of 15pt'ers--they look pretty good to me w/ my loupe!

If you have questions about the quality of their melee, I would speak w/ WF directly, though.

I did post a couple DS - I was amazed to see clear chunky arrows in 0.01ct stones!




OP - can't speak to hearts obviously, since they're set, but it's *possible* to cut H&A melee - [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/h-a-melee.156263/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/h-a-melee.156263/[/URL]

Glad you saw this Yssie, and you, too, mom2boys! I have 15 pointers in my huggies and 7 pointers in a necklace, but I don't think I can take shots that close up with my point-and-shoot!!! But I have confidence that they use precision cut stones in all sizes!
