I made an appt with BGD to evaluate my diamond for a recut (yes it qualified!) and went to their office, not showroom. I asked Brian and Lesley Gavin if I may see some rings and share them with fellow PSers. They happily brought out a tray of goodies. I only took a few pics when one caught my eye and my heart (a H&A cushion). Sorry I don't have more - pls excuse my rushed nail polish! Also, the sizes are approximations bc there was too much info to remember.

Their new Fiorella stacking ring in rose gold.


Two 3ct rounds with diff bands.


My love - a 3ct cushion.

A3ct cushion in a halo and side view.





The 3ct cushion vs 3ct round, to show me a well cut cushion is just as big visually as a round.

My "little" 2.23ct in between two 3ct rounds, showing me color (G closer to my fingernail, mine is a G, then a J).

MayK - it was awesome. Brian and Lesley are very open and sharing. I was there for three hours but it flew by so quickly. It was like hanging out with cousins at a coffee shop.

What an awesome trip! I am so happy for you, that Brian will be able to re-cut your stone. He did a re-cut for me and I can't tell the difference between the re-cut and the signature stone. I hope to get to see Brian and Lesley before too long. I have so enjoyed speaking with them over the years.

This is one of the coolest posts ever. I so enjoyed it all. I really loved the 3 carat round solitaire with the knife-edge band. Yummy! And the picture of you and Brian Gavin is very special. Thank you for taking us behind the scenes. Can't wait to see your refreshed bling.

What a fun day! Gorgeous jewels! I am all over the 3 carat cushion in the split shank halo :lickout: . I love the pic of you and Mr. Gavin! You look so happy- you must have just found out that you were a good candidate for a recut! I am so pleased for you and I can't wait to see the recut diamond. BTW- What setting are you getting for it?
