My fiancée and I are looking for a diamond from either BGD Signature or Blue, or Whiteflash ACA and we have agreed to be sensible and stay in the region of .75ct. In trying to decide whether to go for carat or color I would love to see photos from these collections - I have seen some blindingly beautiful photos of Sarah Gavin's e ring which admittedly was 2.23ct but it was an I color and maybe I would then love an I as the cut is going to be so great. So if I can see an array of diamonds from these ranges I can hopefully decide sooooon so I can have my very own bling! :D

Many PSers have I color diamonds from these vendors. I have had H color ACA stones from Whiteflash but not I color. I think H is my personal favorite color for balancing size and color.

M2B's diamond comes to mind as an ACA that is I color but it is quite large!

Here are some of my H color stones (top ones are 1.15 cts each and bottom ones are .80 each):

You are very welcome! I have been extremely pleased with my ACA diamond studs. I started with smaller stones and have upgraded them a couple of times! And yes, M2b's ring is incredible and huge!

It is hard to follow M-2-B's incredible stone and my photography skills are lacking, but I just wanted to add my 2.5 carat I VS1 Brian Gavin Signature diamond for you to see. Some people are more sensitive to color in diamonds than others, but I have no regrets about purchasing an I colored stone and I think they represent an excellent value.

Wowza- how can so much gorgeousness be packed into one thread? I am such a fan of all of the rings and studs listed here!

Here is my modest BGD Blue. It is an H color. I love, love, love it! I am color sensitive though and prefer higher colors in MRBs so an I color stone, which I had previously, would not be my preference at this point in time. My dream is a BGD Blue in a G color.

You really have to go with what sings to you. If you have the opportunity, try to look at ideal cut I and H colored stones next to each other to see if you can detect a difference. Some people also love warmer colored stones, J and lower.

My stone is 1.258 carats and is in BGDs Tapered Tiffany Setting and BGD's Dream Band. I am a size 6.75.

All the best with your decision!

Oh Crystal24K, your stone is not at all modest, it's huge and sparkly and stunning!!

So many lovely stones and thank you all so much for sharing them. I think I have settled on my own diamond now, I will give full details once I have secured it but suffice to say it's from WhiteFlash and the Expert Selection where it narrowly missed out on ACA (by 1%) and I love :love: :love: :love: it and it has allowed me to go into colorless and .8 rather than .75 :) Their customer service has been outstanding too so far.

Once I have it I will post pictures if I can work out how to do it!

Thank you! Can't wait for them to send the bill through so I can pay for it now (doing a part wire and part credit card payment so need an invoice made)! So nervous someone's going to pinch my stone, haha! ;-)

PS your stone is soooo pretty and I love the wedding band too. You're making me want a really sparkly wedding band! Pricescope is baaaad for fiancees and husbands! :Up_to_something:

Adding mine to this list of lovelies. I love my stone, and the craftmanship of my setting from BGD. I can't say enough good things about the quality of the cut, and how much of a difference having an ideal cut diamond makes in the beauty of a ring. Please forgive my lacking photography skills and cell phone pics. :oops: I hope the arrows shine through. In person it is a firecracker!

Absolutely stunningly beautiful! I can only dream of a diamond that size, it looks incredible in both its settings. I love it!! :love:
Those prongs are very unusual and delicate in the first two pictures, what setting is that? So pretty.

Hi,
It's the Dahlia setting by Caysie Van Bebber. I actually designed it after seeing a ring here on PS. The original setting is by Whiteflash, the Harmony setting, but I wanted a rose gold setting and eight prongs, so I reset my ACA last year.
