Hi All,

Having taken on various words of wisdom from this site (thank you!) I'm down to looking at the following 3 BG heart & arrows diamonds:

1.002 H SI1 $7,227
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.002-h-si1-round-diamond-ags-104064813009

1.024 H SI1 $7,436
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.024-h-si1-round-diamond-ags-104067957010

1.01 G SI1 $7,898
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.010-g-si1-round-diamond-ags-104064813010

Could you let me know which you think is best? Is the G worth the extra $?

Thanks,

Ryan
 
No. I like the first one. I'd go with the least expensive.
 
Thanks Gypsy. Good to hear that the most expensive isn't always the best!

You obviously have a fair bit of diamond experience - would you advise purchasing the diamond in the first link or do you think I should continue shopping around as I may find a better quality stone for the budget? I've been searching for a few months but it's difficult to know when to stop and finally commit to buying the diamond.

Any thoughts from other members also greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

Of course, just like the H is worth the extra $ compared to an I … and like an I is worth the extra $ compared to a J.
These grades are worth whatever they cost as a result of supply and demand.

Now, whether any grade is worth the extra $ TO YOU, only you can answer.
It doesn't matter what I value or what Gypsy values or what anyone else values, even what the majority values.

Go out and see these grades for yourself.
Perhaps after seeing them in person you will insist a D is totally worth the extra $ or you'll feel any diamond graded higher than Z is not worth the extra $.
 
I suggest you take a look at the Crafted by Infinity stones. I have never seen a better cut on a stone than theirs. Indescribable. I just purchased one and am thrilled with my stone and custom setting.

.92 G VS1 http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity-new&id=879

If you're willing to give up a little size for higher color, heres a .85 D VS1 http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity-new&id=1143

Little bit bigger, but drops to an I: .96 I VVS1 http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity-new&id=1143

I bought a G and it is SUPER white from all angles. When he opened the box, my fiance said it was like looking down a tiny hall of mirrors - it reflects light even when nothing is moving!

Some people think it's a waste of money to pay for VS or VVS, but some of us can see things we're not supposed to be able to see, like me. And once I know something is there - it will bother me. Wink is great - tell him what you're looking for and he will find it for you. Good luck!

I think you have them ranked in the order of my preference. The 1.002ct H is my favorite of the 3.

Whichever one you choose of these 3, you're going to be ending up with a top-notch stone!
 
If I wanted a round brilliant BGD would be my first call. I think you are in good hands. We have vendors that are as good, but none that surpass. SO I think you are right where you need to be. :wavey: I've purchased from BGD multiple times and been thrilled each time.
