Did I make the right decision with this upgrade?

Hi everyone,
A very nice ring came up for sale last week. It was a Brian Gavin Cape Series Diamond
Here are the specs attached in the certificate
3.56 Carat M colour VS1, in an Anita Halo setting.

The only way I could purchase this was to sell one I had in my collection which unbelievably sold within 3 hours on market place. I had a 2.22 J colour Si2 solitaire, pic also attached. I got $16,000 AU for it.

I only had to put in another $500 to get the beautiful Brian Gavin ring. What do you think? Did I make a good upgrade ? I hope I did! What do you think of Brian Gavin diamonds specially the warmer colours? I realise it will show some tint but I just couldn’t resist as size seemed so much bigger and I was bored just looking at a standard solitaire.

It is a beautiful ring and sounds like a great price, too! I think as long as you embrace the warmth, you'll be thrilled with it!

It’s a bit of a gamble when you don’t see it in person. I guess I’m just a bit nervous about it.

I love a diamond with color. And one that size with that cut quality is going to be a buttery fireball. :love:

Wow what an awesome find! So great that you sold your ring so quickly too. I love BG diamonds so you got yourself a great diamond and setting! I hope you love it. The size difference is amazing!

Hi everyone
Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it.
My beautiful ring has arrived and I am obsessed with it. I honestly have never seen a diamond dance and sparkle so much. I’ve been a collector of diamond rings for about 10 years and haven’t seen one with such fire in my life. If anyone is considering a Brian Gavin diamond as their engagement ring you must not hesitate. You must see it to believe it!
I was thinking M colour maybe too yellow for me but I was wrong. The sparkle is so intense that it shows a very attractive colour in all lighting conditions. Now I understand why people say cut is so important. 9FA77C3F-BD62-4F47-B860-C7694152EFF4.jpeg
