I can''t thank you all enough for educating me on diamonds and helping me through the process by your posts. I rarely post threads here, but I''m always reading the threads here since I joined to learn about stones (even when I wasn''t in the active pursuit of a stone). I would have never realized Brian started his own venture outside of WF without people mentioning it on here. Because of all of this, I ended up with a beautiful engagement ring which I can''t wait to propose to my amazing gf with this weekend.

Special thanks to Lesley and Brian at BGD who are exemplary and rare examples of what superior customer service is all about. I could call them at 10 pm to get an answer to any one of my questions without any hassle. It was such a great experience talking to Brian about the stone, the current happenings in the market and the setting. On top of all that, they worked within a pretty short time frame to make exactly what I wanted.

Also wanted to thank the people at WF who helped in the process and were great and prompt w/answering my questions.

Haha, sounds like I''m accepting an award, but I just had to express my appreciation for this forum and the people associated with it.

Attached are pics of the ring. Stone = 2.031 ct., H, eye clean SI1, AGS 0 light perf/polish (1 on symmetry b/c of meet pt issue). Just picked it up at lunch and it looks amazing.

Let me know your thoughts (honestly!)
