Narrowed it down - BGD Blue - Opinions on this diamond!

[the1kayladawn]

Hey all,

As some of you are aware, I have been struggling with a pretty disappointing diamond shopping experience. Thanks to the amazing Ame, I have ALMOST ended my search, with Brian Gavin Diamonds.

She and I have selected this stone for consideration and I have it on hold until Friday. I was wary of a stone with blue fluorescence until I did some research on BGD Blue diamonds on Ame's suggestion. I saw some really beautiful photos of blue fluor, but also some really gross ones that weren't BGD Blue.

Therefore I would like you, the trusted expert community of Pricescope, to give me your opinion on this stone.

I have not seen the stone in person and will be having it shipped to me up here in Canada, so I want to make 100 percent sure I'm getting a great diamond before it comes out to me...

Thanks so much in advance everyone. (And thanks to Ame for being my HERO).

I think it's beautiful! I have a small BGD with medium blue
That is really lovely.

Great pick.

Not all of the BG Blue stones are as 'tight' as this one. The cut is very precise and uniform on your stone.

Looks like you've found a winner!

Would either of you be concerned with VERY strong blue fluorescence? I've just never seen one IRL.

Not on a stone coming from Brian Gavin I wouldn't be. I have a SB and a VSB pair of earrings from them.

Not at all.

I have purchased stones with VSB before. The particular 'flavor' of fluor in your stone (based on the BG UV image) is not overwhelming, and will likely be extremely subtle.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger and order this diamond. I'm so excited!!!

That's so exciting - BGD's in real life are fantastic! Congrats on the decision!
