It was amazing to see her so excited when she opened the paper – she has never owned a diamond in her life! She is mounting it in a ring that belonged to my grandmother that will be passed down to me eventually and hopefully to my own daughter some day.
My family is very grateful to you and to everyone at Whiteflash for helping me give this precious gift.
Thank you!!

Dear Whiteflash Sales Team,

It’s a familiar sign this time of year: a guy leaning over a glass counter, eyeing endless rows of engagement rings. If you’re about to pop the question, don’t head to the jewelry store until you know the newest statement-making ring trends and the right questions to ask! A simple solitaire may be a classic (and safe) choice, but you’re sure to please with these over-the-top dazzlers.
Trend #1: Geometric Shapes
Get ready for a high-school flashback: Today’s trendy rings are all about geometry. From teardrops to sunbursts, part of the allure of these architectural rings is the eye-catching angles. Innovative shapes, like a bezel or halo setting, work double-duty — they create a lot of visual interest and add extra shine.
Trend #2: Nontraditional Designs
The standard solitaire will always have its place in engagement-ring fashion, but this season we’re seeing more detailed designs. Delicate spiraled bands, sophisticated eye-shaped diamonds, and Etruscan-inspired settings for anyone with an artsy or vintage style. Many of these rings are one-of-a-kind designs, so the look will be solely your own.
Trend #3: Trellis Bands
From braids to basket weaves, intricate trellis bands are becoming a popular way to give your ring an elegant level of texture. Whether you choose a diamond-encrusted, chain-link style or let the elaborate metal detailing stand on its own, we love how the look is both classic and complex.
Trend #4: Swirled Bands
Ropy, swirled bands are an understated but stylish way to give your ring a custom look. Try a single band or two multicolored strands swirled together, but don’t forget the wedding band — if you want to go for the stacked look, consider buying the rings as a set to ensure a perfect fit.
Trend #5: Split Shanks
An increasingly popular alternative to an eternity band, split-shank rings feature a solitaire diamond framed by two track-like bands. The look complements both square and round gems and can be embellished even further with a halo setting and pave stones (tiny, fully cut stones placed close together on a setting) along each band.
Before purchasing the diamonds, it helps if you have enough knowledge and information regarding 4 Cs crucial to purchasing any loose diamonds or diamond jewelry pieces: carat, cut, color and clarity. There are other advanced characteristics as well such as enhancement and fluorescence that make the difference to the appearance. Understanding the characteristics of each diamond helps you make a better choice when making the diamond investment.
Well chosen piece of jewelry can complement your beauty and brighten up your face. A good pair of earrings is essential accessory to the wardrobe of every woman. Diamond studs look elegant, no matter what the size and style. They are also easy and small to use and store. These days, diamond studs are made in different styles so as to suit all the age groups and ethnic backgrounds.
Diamond earrings also make a great gift, and convey the taste and individuality. These earrings suit both the sexes equally, and are loved by men as well as women and are always in fashion. You can wear them with all kinds of dresses, and they are versatile enough to match with jeans and cocktail dresses equally.
Four prong baskets is the most common setting for the diamond studs style, and it is most preferred setting because it makes the loose diamond seem larger while still holding it securely.
If you already have a diamond ring or pendant, choose the diamond studs of the same color so that they complement each other. Purchasing diamond studs earrings from a non reputable dealer is simply wastage of money and time for the sub-standard quality of diamonds.
Choosing the right pair can be quite confusing and tricky, so you should start by evaluating the wearer’s face and skin tone. For women with thin face, round cut diamond studs are a better choice, and for women having slightly broader face, princess cut pair will suit the looks. You also must consider the metal setting for the diamond studs. Platinum or white gold are usually the preferred choices as they set off a cool skin tone, but yellow gold harmonizes well with the warmer skin tones.
As with any piece of jewelry, these earrings must be meticulously cared for. Excessive twisting can lead to loosening the setting, and making space for grime and dirt that will dull the dazzle. To prevent scratches, store the diamonds away from other jewelry items.
Hi Whiteflash.com,
The proposal went off today without a hitch. She had no idea I was going to propose as she was expecting spring at the very earliest. I managed to coordinate the shipping and sneak out and get the ring from FedEx like a ninja.
She absolutely adores the engagement ring and she cried when she saw it. Additionally, I am concerned she may get into a car accident because she stares at it so much. But don’t worry I’ll be driving the next few days until she stops staring at it long enough to pay attention to the road.
Thank you Traci, Vera, Joe and Becca for all your help in this process. As Susan so aptly put it, her ring is “perfect” for lack of a better word. Is there a word beyond perfection? I certainly believe if there is you guys have achieved it.
Funny story though. I was so intent on picking up the ring 12/22/09 that I was at the Federal Express site before I even got the phone call. In fact, the phone call to tell me my package had arrived came while I was driving back with the ring! I’m just too fast I guess.
The calendar included with the whole package was great. So many beautiful jewelry pieces for every month of the year.
Susan is already talking about how she needs a matching wedding band. I have no doubt in my mind that you will hear from me again soon.
Thanks again guys, Happy Holidays to you and yours…
Walter
Dear Whiteflash Team,
Today I received the wedding rings, diamond earrings and my fiancée’s diamonds engagement ring. The earrings are so delicate and beautiful, and I can’t wait to see them sparkling at the ears of my future bride. The wedding rings are just as I wanted. And the last box to be opened happened to be the one with the ring, and even though I had seen it before, I was still surprised by its beauty. Last but not least, thank you for the Whiteflash calendar!
I will be back in the beginning of the next year with pictures from our wedding. Till then, I wish you and the Whiteflash team happy Holidays, and many moments of joy together with your beloved ones!
Best regards,
Dan

The holiday season is usually the busiest time of the year. That is no exception for online diamond e-tailor Whiteflash.com. Over the past couple of weeks we have shipped out a large volume of beautiful Whiteflash ACA Diamonds, engagement rings, diamond pendants, wedding bands, diamond bracelets, diamond studs and earrings. Here is an exclusive sneak peak to show you what we have been up to here at Whiteflash.com….
And here are some excerpts from some of the wonderful testimonials we have been receiving from some very satisfied customers:
“Thanks so much for your expert advice on the rings! They are so unbelievable in the sunlight, I can’t seem to put them down! Have a nice holiday, and I am sure that you and I will be working together again on some additional custom creations in the near future”
“Now these are beautiful!!!! Sparkly and alive. I love them. This is what I know Whiteflash to be about.”
“When she saw the ring she said, “Oh my god. Oh crap. Oh my god. Oh wow!” She was literally hopping, running in place, and giggling. Once she’d regained some composure, she at intervals called the ring, “perfect” and ”beautiful” among many, many other superlatives. She’s ecstatic.”
“I am stunned with how beautiful this ring is. The diamond is so white and crisp looking and I cannot believe the fire and scintillation from this stone. If I angle it just right I can see the arrows which just adds to the beauty of the stone. The packaging and accessories add the finishing touch and I would have no hesitation in buying an ACA sight unseen again, or recommending your Company to friends or colleagues.”
“Wanted to let you (and your team) know that the ring you made for my fiancé was an absolute smash! She just loves it – and I get out a kick out of watching her peak at it all the time. What you created was precisely what I had hoped for (and so many people said it could not be done)!”
“I proposed to my girlfriend earlier this week, and she was absolutely floored by the ring. In fact, over the last several days, she has received numerous compliments from complete strangers. But, most importantly, she loves it; she calls it her “dream ring.” Thanks to the whole Whiteflash team for creating such a perfect piece.”
“All went well and we are now happily engaged! She could not keep her eyes off the diamond! Thanks again!”
“Thanks to sweet Debbie and Bob from Whiteflash, my 5-stone ring has become a reality. This is my second purchase from WF since July, and I am having another project made. Just can’t get enough of the ACA’s”
