After help from PS, I finally bought a BGD e-ring

[ranger2000]

I purchased my e-ring and setting from Brian Gavin a few days ago, and the ring should come next week in time for a NYE proposal. Based on the help I received in my last post, I kept looking around and eventually found a 0.99 G VS1 in BGD's virtual inventory. After calls with them about the stone and a few other ones, they were able to bring some in house and send me further information. I already had the GIA report for the 0.99 carat which looked great, but the Idealscope and ring image made me feel very confident and I went ahead and bought it.

As for the setting, I am going with the Tiffany-style 6 prong half round, because my gf works a lot with her hands and she doesn't like the feel of the knife-edge setting.

Thanks for all the help and information, PS. I'll post more photos once I have it in person. How did I do?

Looks beautiful! I love that setting, and I bet you got a good price since you are *just* under the 1 carat magic mark

I also purchased my diamonds for my stud earrings via BGD's virtual inventory and the process was very smooth and easy. Like yours, they were eventually graded Brian Gavin "Select" once Brian Gavin saw them in person

Congrats and good luck on your proposal!
