HOUSTON, TX – May 25 Whiteflash.com custom designed one-of-a-kind wedding

bands for the upcoming nuptials of Adrianne Curry, winner of America’s Next Top Model, and

Christopher Knight, of Brady Bunch fame. The two met on the set of VH1’s Surreal Life last year and

have been heading toward wedded bliss ever since. Whiteflash.com, a diamond and jewelry e-boutique,

was heralded by Kiplinger’s Magazine as “Lord of the Online Rings.” The company’s world-renowned

jewelry artisans handcrafted the famous couple’s wedding bands.

“We wanted to create something for them that is truly show stopping. For Adrianne, it was important

that we design a unique band that complements her engagement ring,” says Debi Wexler, co-founder

and CEO of Whiteflash.com. Wexler and Brian Gavin, a 5th generation expert diamond cutter from

South Africa, embarked on the e-diamond business together in 2000 and have since grown the company

to a global customer base.

Working one-on-one with the couple by phone and via email, designers created a simplistic design

for Knight – a 3.5 mm half round band cast in 950 platinum. For Curry, it is a curvaceous (950

platinum) design that plays up to her engagement ring from the Sirena Collection by Merit Diamonds.

Curry, now a noted fashionista who models for the likes of Macy’s, Merit Diamonds, Famous Stars and

Straps, and Ed Hardy, amongst numerous others says, “I was amazed by the clarity of the diamonds

and originality of the designs Whiteflash.com shared with me. It was difficult to narrow it down to

just one!” Whiteflash.com sent several samples to the soon-to-be Mrs. Knight to show the company’s

capability in custom designed settings and the sparkle emitted from the company’s a ‘A Cut Above’

diamonds.

“Our customers typically are ‘wowed’ by the quality of our diamonds,” says Wexler, “because they

simply out-sparkle the competition.”

Just which design made the final cut? Spiraling gracefully down the shank of Curry’s band –

measuring 3.8 mm wide at the top and then tapering to 2.5 mm at the base – are six .20 carat ‘A Cut

Above’ diamonds from the company’s exclusive brand of Hearts & Arrows diamonds. “Hearts & Arrows

refers to the pattern seen through the top and bottom of the diamond,” says Gavin, “which signifies

the highest level of cut quality.”

Gavin pioneered the cut of the ‘A Cut Above’ diamond; revolutionary, all 57 facets of an ‘A Cut

Above’ diamond align perfectly to maximize the diamond’s ability to attract and reflect light.

“Light, even diffused by office lighting and soft candlelight, reflects from inside the crown (or

top) of the diamond, from facet to facet, and then out of the crown again,” says Gavin. He adds,

“This is what enables our diamonds to really sparkle.” And for Whiteflash.com’s ‘A Cut Above’

diamonds, sparkle is what they do best.
