I am drawn to the classic beauty of a 5 stone ring and knew I’d be adding one to my collection. After lots of research and looking at pics, I decided on the Sally band. I knew I wanted platinum, but at my finger size (4.75 is roomy), I was struggling to pick stone size. Working with Emily at BGD, she suggested 20 pointers would give great coverage. I took her advice and began the anxious wait to get my ring... BUT, I wasn’t settled on the carat size so 1 week later I reached out. My ring had yet to be crafted (thank goodness!). Emily was super understanding when I explained that I needed to mentally be at a minimum of .25 carat per stone. She found me some new stones that were E-F color, VS-SI1 clarity, .25-.26 carat. I thought, phew, now I feel better. But, I was keeping my eye on their site hoping new diamonds would pop on. I really wanted a more consistent color and clarity. My persistence paid off! Again, I contacted Emily when I saw a fresh batch of diamonds. I switched out 4 of my F stones to 4 E stones, ranging in VVS2-VS2. Emily was so helpful and accommodating along the way! She made my experience of achieving exactly what I wanted in an heirloom piece of jewelry as smooth as possible. This is my first experience with Brian Gavin Diamonds and I would recommend them in a heartbeat! The stones are gorgeous and the ring is glamorous! The knife edge is very comfortable. I am in love with this ring!! If you’ve made it this far in my ramblings, your patience paid off. First pics are the BGD photos and then my own.

I have drooled over this setting forever (but the non knife edge), yours is beautiful...maybe one day I will change mine over....
 
Very beautiful ring and it looks lovely on your hand!!! Congrats!!!
 
Gorgeous. Looks beautiful on you.

I took a leap of faith on this! I have never even tried on a knife edge band, but felt it looked sooo elegant. There isn’t much info here on this particular band, so I wanted to add my experience to help someone else.
 
Soo absolutely beautiful!!!
 
Omg! Gorgeous! I love a good 5 stone. Looks beautiful on you.
 
Just gorgeous! Congrats on your new five stone band - looks fabulous on your hand!
 
Thank you so much! It is a classic piece!
 
Really beautiful! I am SO glad you told her to change to .25 diamonds! That is a much better size for a 5 stone band!
 
Very pretty @MamaBear ! Nice finger coverage too...a 5 stone is such a great classic to have in your jewelry wardrobe!
 
Absolutely gorgeous! Looks fabulous on you!
 
That is a beautiful, classic 5-stone! It looks great in the pictures and I bet those E stones are even more beautiful in person.

It's gorgeous and perfect on your hand!
 
Congrats MaMa! , Beautiful ring! :love: . My wife wear the same ring with .25ct F/G VS ACA stones (1.27 tcw) on a shared prong setting. Brian hand picked the stones for me when he was still with WF.
 
@Dancing Fire, your info in the threads regarding your wife’s ring was a big reason for landing at the same size. There are a lot of opinions of perfect carat size on here and purchasing online can be challenging... I figured it was a good decision to follow the advice of a “long timer”. So, thank you!
 
Absolutely gorgeous, @MamaBear! Looks beautiful on your hand. You may need to wear sunglasses with all that fire. =)2 Enjoy in good health!
 
This is lovely! Classic and elegant. Enjoy!
 
Wow, totally classic and elegant. Thanks for sharing, this is super helpful because we are the same finger size and I too have been mulling over .20 vs .25!
 
This is gorgeous.
 
Congratulations! It's a beautiful classic piece that will go with anything. I think you'll get lots of wear of out it. And BGD did such a beautiful job. The setting is so swoopy and graceful.
 
It’s a stunning five-stone! Congratulations!
 
Absolutely beautiful and such a classic!
 
Beautiful and I love the detail of those two little diamonds on each side - so unique!
 
This ring looks amazing on you, absolute perfection!! :love:
 
I came back to take another look at your beautiful ring. It really inspires me! I hope it continues to give you joy. :)
 
It's beautiful! Looks lovely on your hand! Nothing compares to starting the morning with the perfect Bling!
 
Beautiful and classic ring. Enjoy!
