Just bought my diamond!! How did I do?

[CaliSun]

Hi there!

I just bought my 5th anniversary upgrade diamond from Brian Gavin.
Needless to say, their customer service is second to none. Lesley is wonderful! Add me to the list of those who wonder if she ever sleeps!!
And, Brian was very helpful in lending his time to my selection process.

I can''t wait to receive it and have this beauty set!

Without further ado...

Pavillion Depth 42.8%

They sent me so many images, I don''t know what would be helpful for you all to view... Let me know and I will post.
Thanks!

correct me if i am wrong but
if the diamond is bought from brian gavin''s inventory of H&A, its definitely going to be a good H&A and good asset (haven''t read on a bad BG diamond)
there is probably no need for those images

Pretty stone!

 

[D&T]

looks like its gonna be a gorgeous stone! Congrats!

 

[CaliSun]

Thanks!

I''ve been over-analyzing this for far too long and it was time to just take the plunge!
Once I knew I wanted a Brian Gavin stone, it almost made it harder to decide on one to purchase, since they are all so beautiful.

In any event - I am looking forward to receiving the stone next week and am super excited!

We don't want to assume it is until we see it ourselves.

I have every confidence in BGD that if a diamond is said to be h&a that it will be, however images are still very useful for the consumer and for us.

I just had to log on so I could say that this diamond should look amazing! Congrats!

Stunning diamond. I''m dying to know how it will be set?

 

[CaliSun]

The stone will be sent to Mark Morrell to be set. He''ll be crafting me a new wedding set.
Holey moley - just typing the words gets me all antsy!
But, I will wait for the set until next spring, when our anni comes up.
Patience has never been my strong trait... I know it will be well worth the wait!

Oh my STARS!!
Just received the diamond today and I am nearly without words - but I will do my best.
I honestly never thought in my life that I would ever own such a beautiful gem - it''s truly stunning.
I opened the package in a very sunny room, and the stone reflected wildly. It''s magnificent!
It''s perfectly eye-clean and incredibly sparkly.
Brian and Lesley are a dream to work with, and I am so glad that we opted to purchase from BGD.

I can''t wait to wear it every day!! But, I have at least a few months yet to wait, so this beauty will be locked away until we ship to Mr. Morrell.

Congratulations!!!!!
