As the name implies, diamonds in this category possess premium characteristics which represent exceptional value for customers looking for high quality diamonds with GIA grading reports. The round diamonds in this category feature the highest cut grade issued by the Gemological Institute of America – GIA Triple Excellent. In addition, these diamonds must possess high optical precision as evidenced by a pattern of distinct Hearts and Arrows.
If you have been following the local scene, we can see some jewelers are now helping people to achieve a desired carat weight by reducing the diamond colour to "H" colour. Now, before you start to "yerrr, it is so yellow!" I will say that you can differentiate the colour difference between a "F" colour diamond and a "H" colour diamond in matters of second, when both diamonds are facing-up. In a scenario whereby I give you a badly cut "F" colour diamond and a nicely cut "H" colour diamond, you would probably think that the "H" colour will look better.
Personally, I have a mixture of different colour diamonds. One of them is a 0.2ct E VS2 None Fluorescence GIA 3EX diamond and the other one is a 0.211ct J VS2 Negligible AGS 000 diamond. Even for these 2, it took me a few seconds to differentiate the colour when I pay attention to them when they are side-by-side. At quick glance, I don't even see differences.
Now, please remember that I am not a professionally trained gemologist, but rather, I (at most) can be considered a diamond enthusiast. Yes, I probably look at more diamonds compared to a typical guy in Malaysia that usually buy diamonds for the first time, but that also takes me a few seconds to identify the colour difference, so imagine what if he colour range is closer, are you expecting anyone to be able to tell what colour the diamond is? Please don't think that your diamond look cheap when the colour is lower because the obvious thing people can tell immediately is the size of the diamond. And if the diamond has a good cut, the sparks will speak for itself and awe other people.
OK, so why I am telling you all this? Well, because today I am going to introduce a 1.04 ct H VS2 Premium Select Round Cut Loose Diamond!
Check out the images:
Now, what complains can I have? Oh yeah, there is some green in the ASET image, at the table of the diamond at 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions respectively. Is this a big deal? Now, this is really something I can live with, after all, I am not buying the more expensive A CUT ABOVE diamonds.
How about the Hearts? All I can say the Hearts are top-notch. If I really to complain, it will be the 1 o'clock Heart, which has a very very very slight bent at the tip of the heart. Is this going to be an issue? I won't OCD to that kind of level personally because in reality, there is really no 100% perfect stone. If I can find diamonds with such quality in Virtual Inventory, I am already a very happy man. More importantly, is the price of this diamond. This diamond's price is actually around RM 27,000 and the price is even cheaper than what some local jewelers can offer. To be honest, even if the price is higher than those local jewelers, I am willing to pay the extra premium just to get this, if the other 4Cs are the same. This is because this stone's cut quality is very much assured. And you are covered by WhiteFlash's generous policy! What is there not to like?
This diamond is graded in Feb 2020 by GIA, but I don't think is a trade-in diamond. But of course, you can ask their helpful customer service to clear your doubt.
So, if you are thinking to buy the magical one carat diamond, with very good cut quality, do consider WhiteFlash Premium Select first. I am sure you will find the diamonds to have very good value for money for its quality and benefits!
Not all Premium Select diamonds have no fluorescence, some may contain fluorescence, such as this one: 0.92 ct H VS2 Premium Select Round Cut Loose Diamond
How about the price? For this size together with faint fluorescence, local jewelers are cheaper, so you may want to compare the overall cut quality first. However, I would still say buying with all the necessary images captured is a good way to know how good is your diamond.
However, for 1 carat and above, WhiteFlash Premium Select prices are simply competitive!
Another good example is this stone - 1.04 ct F VS1 Premium Select Round Cut Loose Diamond. The wire transfer price is RM 35,447.38.
Compare it to a similar 4Cs diamond by a local vendor, the price is MYR 39,716.21:

Moreover, the face-up size is at 6.35 - 6.39 x 3.98 mm, so face-up size is even smaller than the WhiteFlash stone above!
OK, the WhiteFlash stone is from 2019, but I still don't think it is a trade-in stone. However, for peace of mind, do check with their helpful customer service.
So afraid that no one will set your diamond? Don't worry, you have me. I am doing ring setting for all customers from WhiteFlash, and I will try to give you a competitive price.
