Re: Brian Gavin Blue 1.23 I SI1 in Size 3.5 Demarco Pillow H
The ring has amazed everyone who has seen it so far. It really is breathtaking in person. It manages to look delicate even with so much pave. The curve in the halo just makes the ring flow in a way that showcases the center stone and it does not for a moment look chunky or anything like that. I have to say, at the beginning due to lack of a review anywhere, I was not sure how good Demarco's craftsmanship was. After inspecting the minor details close up and in person, I am blown away by how perfectly executed each stone in the pave is, especially on the shoulders where it graduates in a complex pattern.
Tomorrow looks like it will be a beautiful sunny day and I can hopefully capture the center stone's violet hue in direct sunlight.
I called it BG (Brian Gavin), not big. Yes, it's a white diamond with strong blue fluorescence.heididdl|1364769384|3417583 said:
Thank you Julie, and also thank you for your help during my diamond selection process.JulieN|1364775647|3417637 said:
Thank you! I tried to take some fluorescence shots but i have a tiny keychain UV LED and it was difficult to get good any good shots while holding the keychain in one hand and trying to take pictures on my phone with the other. I attached the best one I could get for now.Enerchi|1364778007|3417665 said:

She will be getting the ring this weekend. I really can't wait. I think I will give her my entire speech before I open the box because I'm afraid at that point I'll lose her attention.
I took some more photos to try to show off the detail of the pave work...

The photos actually captured pretty much exactly how it looked IRL. It was a perfectly clear day with a pure blue sky, so it was partially because of that also that it looked so blue, although the pave stones didn't look blue at all. I had taken the diamond out into the sun previously on days which were not as clear and it had more of a lavender hue than yesterday's pure blue.
An additional note is that I am now 100% confident that there are no negative cloudy or hazy effects in this stone while fluorescing. It still looked clean and crisp in the sun. I tried to capture a blue arrows photo but couldn't quite get it.
This stone also possesses an orange-yellow phosphorescence. I'll try to capture that at some point as well.

She said yes! We arrived to the condo in NH late last night. I lit about 15 candles around the bedroom, cracked a bottle of champagne, and told her all about how much she's changed my life since the moment I met her. I then got down on one knee and she was so surprised by what was going on that she just completely lost it, tears streaming down her face. I opened that amazing lighted box, asked her to marry me, and she was completely at a loss for words. She just stood there mesmerized and said, "Is this really happening right now?" I had to ask again, "So what's your answer?!" I then got a resounding "Yes!" It was absolutely everything I could have hoped for and she is completely obsessed with the ring. It's a bit big for her and we will have to put sizing beads to help keep it upright.
I made her a special breakfast in bed with mimosas this morning and attached a picture of the plate below. Keep in mind I rarely cook so this was a big deal.
And of course, I have to share some hand shots...
