I purchased a BGD black 1.05 C diamond for my wife on our 25th anniversary and initially was very happy with the stone - had a strong brilliance and some sparkle in sunlight and kitchen lights.
Wanted to impress my wife and took her to Costco (as others have advised here) and the costco 1C diamonds had more fire compared to the BGD black and we are disappointed to say the least.
Am still in my review period, so seek advise on what we should do.
We are noobs as far as diamonds are concerned, but both of us prefer fire over brilliance and do like those dancing colors a lot
The ASET image looks perfect
but have not been able to see much with the IS that is already included - seems like there is a lot of light leakage - apologoes for the terrible photo with my iPhone
The GIA certificate details are as follow
The HCA score is 0.9
