The Diamond is 10 Times Better Than I Ever Expected

As you know, I got the ring back in May....and I was amazed at the beauty of it. I was so excited to receive it. The diamond is 10 times better than I ever expected and I take my hat off to Mark Morrell for the workmanship that has gone into the ring. Then of course came the engagement. I decided some time ago to take Ruth to London to propose to her as a surprise. I actually only told her that we were going to London about 5 days before we left. Luckily it was her birthday the same weekend that we were due to be in London, so it didn''t look too obvious as to why I was whipping her down to London. We flew to London on the Friday morning and had checked into our hotel by lunch time. After going for a work around some of the tourist sites we headed back to the hotel to get ready for heading out for dinner. I had booked Gordon Ramsay''s restaurant for dinner, so we had to get our ''glad rags'' on. Just before we left the room to head for our taxi, and with Ruth looking amazing, I told her that she needed one last thing to make her look even more amazing - at which point I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me! and the rest of course.......they say........is history!! She said yes obviously! She absolutely loves the ring. She can''t take her eyes off of it and was dying to get home to show her family and friends. It sparkles so much that she has nicknamed it ""Sparko"". Now the fun really begins......wedding preparations. Thank you very much for the most amazing ring ever and for your service.

She loves the ring and it has been a visual highlight to everyone who sees it. Thank you for the awesome customer service and buying experience. The unboxing was a work of art and she loved it from the moment she saw it in the proposal box. I’m sure we will shop Whiteflash for the wedding bands.

My wife and I are near our 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted to wow her with an unforgettable anniversary gift, something that showed her how much these almost 50 years have meant to me. And what better way that to present her with the diamond we could not even think about buying where we were married. We were like many young couples all those years ago - in love plus broke and poor!! I did my research and came up with some specs, which were amended many, many times! I looked at the various reputable online dealers as well as brick and mortar retail stores too. A few (very few actually) were receptive to taking on my challenge to find that special stone per my specs. While not the first to present a "find," Becca of Whiteflash in Sugar Land TX was the first to find a stone that was so very close to having it all. Now, I did not know it was going to be the one, but after asking all the crazy questions of Becca and putting her and the diamond through the gauntlet, it became "the one." Becca's 17 years of experience became invaluable in helping me make the right decision, a decision that was not taken lightly because the diamond was for a very special purpose and it did cost a dollar or two as well!! While we did not live exactly down the road from Sugar Land, my wife and I took off on a road trip to meet Becca in person as well as actually see the diamond. It was stunning for sure. We made the purchase and are on our way to making this the 50th wedding anniversary gift I only dreamed of. Thanks to Becca and her team for making a memory!!
