Recent price drops prompted the search for a set of diamonds for a graduated 5-stone ring.
Criteria
This is actually the first time I ordered loose rounds from BG/JA/BN. BG and JA included H&A viewers in the shipments as the diamonds are branded hearts and arrows cuts. BG’s H&A viewer is slightly bigger and offers more magnification. BG also included an UV light. JA included a polishing cloth.
BG shipped with heavy duty glass and magnetic gem boxes that stack on top of each other. JA shipped with a plastic gem box inside a wooden ring box. BN shipped with a heavy duty plastic gem box that has a pivot stand in the back. It’s also big enough for multiple gems for easy side by side comparisons. I’ll get to the diamonds in my next post.


Criteria
- 0.3 to 0.5 carat diamonds
- VS clarity
- D to G color
- Round hearts and arrows cut
- Strong or medium blue fluorescence
