2ct BGD H&A or Blue opinions on stones

[AVCadmirer]

Hi guys

So yesterday my budget changed and for the better. I was looking a cushion cuts and had a thread and want to really thank gypsie for all her help. But due to seeing a similar design on my finger I have gone back to what I have wanted for many years, ( 20 years waiting for this ring ) So I have 3 x 2ct BGD stones that I am interested in, one is the Blue range with a medium blue Florence. Now I really like the look of these stones that I have seen on youtube and pics on here EXCEPT for when the stone virtually looks like a blue gem of some sort which is just not to my liking. I think this happens more with the strong, very strong blue.

I was just wondering if anybody has actually seen both the H&A and blue in person and do they give just as beautiful sparkle, fire ect

Here are the 3 I am considering, I am in contact with Katie and am awaiting what she says regarding the 3. I will then request pictures and speak to Brain himself as per Gypsie's recommendation. Also this I will be setting this is the fishtail novela platinum setting. I am a 8.5 size finger so I hope I can pull off a smaller band, although I intent on getting the matching wedder.

My partner just preferred that I went for something I have wanted longer then a ring I have not long shown interest in, therefore this is why the change. But I think I feel so much more happy and comfortable with this.

Again I am happy with any feedback

The blue tint only shows up in UV light (direct sun and under blacklights). I have an RB w/ SBF and the only time I see it is in the sun. I love the effect, personally, but it sounds like you aren't comfortable with the idea?

I do think they look very pretty but for me its just not what I want to see from my diamond stone. But at the same time I have seen the couple of clips on you tube with the Medium B/F and I don't think it at all looks to blue/lilac in the sun, it just may be the SBF/VSBF that I have seen and wasn't sold on. I am really curious to know if the Blue with similar grading ect to the H&A is just a beautiful. In some pics, clips that I have seen the blue's almost seem to sparkle more and are a tad brighter. Im just so torn, I am staying awake to hopefully speak to somebody at BGD soon, as I live in Australia. I pretty set on 2 of the stones depending if the SI1 is completely all round eye clean. But I am hoping they can email pics or do something so I can look at the 2 and compare.
Thanks for your input

Also may I ask what colour and clarity you purchased?

I have a blue. I love it! It is the most beautiful diamond I have ever seen. It's a J and it faces up very white. It is set next to two G/H stones and I can't tell a difference except in very specific lighting. It has a ton of fire and sparkle. I've had it for several months and I still find myself looking at it. You will not be disappointed.

Mine is SBF and does not look blue unless the sun hits it just the right way. It's actually quite rare than mine goes blue, but it is really pretty when it does.
