Whiteflash 2014 Jewelry Calendar
We are celebrating another exciting year serving some of the most knowledgeable diamond and jewelry buyers in the world, and we are proud to present the 5th edition of the Whiteflash Calendar. Produced by the Whiteflash Photography Department, it is the culmination of a year of fantastic jewelry production from our fabulous designers, and from our own team of talented Whiteflash Jewelers.
Flowers are the theme of our cover this year as we have had such a wonderful response to the creative flower photos that we provide to our customers of their finished jewelry. Art emulates nature and the fire radiating from ideal cut diamonds reflects every color in nature, just as flowers do. Nature is also the original symmetrical pattern maker and countless geometric designs are derived from it.
We hope you enjoy this year’s calendar as much as we enjoyed producing it for you!
January
The Most Visually Balanced Diamond in the World®, the internationally prized A CUT ABOVE® Hearts & Arrows Super-Ideal Diamond.
What our customer’s have to say:
The cut and quality of the ring are truly superb. When you catch a view of my wife’s hand next to my friend’s wives’ hands, there really is no comparison. As my Dad put it, ‘It’s like she has a headlight hanging off her finger!
-Matthew S.
February
Dantela Crown Solitaire Engagement Ring by Tacori. Large crescent motifs give a sweet romance to a solitaire ring, with beautiful diamond accents for special surprise detail from every angle.
What our customer’s have to say:
The ring itself is perfect. The metalwork within the setting looks delicate and feminine just the way I imagined. The diamonds sparkle and twinkle with even the barest minimum of light shining on it. My finger looks like it’s on fire - in a good way.
-Vivian
March
Custom 18k Rose Gold Solitaire Engagement Ring by Verragio, featuring a bezel set Heart shaped diamond and matching heart-shaped scroll work within the gallery.
What our customer’s have to say:
I got the ring insured through Jewelers Mutual as I liked their policy on breakage of the diamond (hopefully that never happens) but I do know two people that have had that happen to. So I appreciate making that easy to do as well.
-Nick
April
A 5 carat Round Brilliant diamond presented within a Platinum Masterwork Diamond Engagement Ring by Ritani.
What our customer’s have to say:
I just wanted to take a moment and thank every one of you for the part you’ve played in creating an absolute master piece. I honestly cannot believe my eyes. From the beginning to the end you have been nothing but awesome; every question was answered and all concerns were addressed.
-Kyle K.
May
The Beloved Solitaire Engagement Ring by Mark Schneider uniquely twists the boundaries of a traditional setting and blends them with artistic flowing lines.
What our customer’s have to say:
Y’all always do such a great job with immaculate attention to detail! Thanks for checking in, it really makes it a much more personal experience knowing y’all care!

July
The 6-Prong Solitaire Engagement Ring by Vatche has a soft knife-edge leading down the ring and holds a 1.57ct A CUT ABOVE Hearts & Arrows Diamond.

What our customer’s have to say:
...I wear these earrings almost every day and they sparkle like crazy. Several times a day I happen to look up and get surprised by a sudden sparkle in the mirror. My diamonds flashing at me. I never had stones that did that before.
-Deborah G.
September
Custom graduated 5-Stone Diamond Engagement Ring by Whiteflash.
What our customer’s have to say:
The whole process was a great experience. Whiteflash will guide you through from start to finish. They will send detailed CAD images of the jewelry before casting it, so you can get a sense of what the final product might look like and make any changes. Everyone I have dealt with has been friendly and helpful. Great service.
-Stuart W.
October
4.00ctw of A CUT ABOVE Hearts and Arrows diamonds in this beautiful ‘X-Prong’ Bracelet.
What our customer’s have to say:
I picked up the ring yesterday and the can honestly say that the only thing I am disappointed with is the fact that I don’t get to wear it! It is really beautiful. I can’t wait to see it on her finger. Too bad I have a few weeks to wait. Pass along my thanks to the rest of the team. You guys rock!
-Sergio A.
November
An 18k White Gold ‘Elena Rounded Pave’ Diamond Engagement Ring with approximately 115 A CUT ABOVE Hearts & Arrows Diamond Melee glows within a golden rose.
What our customer’s have to say:
It’s unbelievably stunning. Truly. I had really, really high expectations, like ridiculously high expectations. My ring is simply the best one I’ve ever seen. The workmanship is absolutely impeccable (I literally louped the ring for 15 minutes straight. I was going blind!).
-Ruben F.
December
The Colorful City Lights Quarts Pendant by Tacori set in Silver with Gold accents.
What our customer’s have to say:
Calling it beautiful does not do it justice. The quality of the display box, safety of the packaging, and thoroughness of the authentication papers, top notch across the board. And of course, the most involved, punctual, and well mannered customer services reps i’ve had the pleasure of working with!
-Matt B.
