Hello all ! I've been cruzing through the pricescope forums for a couple of months after stumbling onto it a couple of months ago.
After reading reviews of Brian Gavin rings I decided to make the trip down to Houston to see some of his stones for myself. (Houston is only about 1.5 hrs south of where I live.)
I've been researching diamonds for a couple of months now and due to just graduating from college in May I was on a very tight budget (7k-8k). I was dead set on a round 1.2-1.3 ct stone. Brian recommended I take a look at a 1.256 J color VS1 Ags000 with very strong blue flourescence that he had..... However I was very hesitant to drop down to a J color but due to the ever increasing diamonds prices I was left with few options.
Upon meeting Brian I was amazed at how friendly he was and his passion for diamonds! I bet I was in his office for 2hours and he didnt even know if I would end up purchasing this diamond. Needless to say I fell in love with it at 1st sight. I loveee his line of blues and could hardly detect any yellowish tint in the J color ring. Brian does not market his Blue diamonds as hearts and arrows but upon further inspection my 1.25 had beautiful both hearts and arrows. The BLUES offer an OUTSTANDING value in my own opinion.
I ended up buying the ring and just recieved it at work today
. I decided to set it an a yellow gold 6 prong because my girlfriend and I both love the classic look. My plan is to pop the question while she and my whole family are on vacation in Germay 2 weeks from now and totally catch her by suprise !!!. I will keep everyone posted and thank you all for providing such valuable informantion on this forum.
P.s. I took these pictures at work on my phone so sorry for the poor quality . Her hand shots are sure to come in the near future

Two bits of advice. Be sure it is insured before that trip. And read some advice on the forums about travelling with a diamond without her seeing it (as in you may be asked to empty pockets in airports).
