Experience With Brian Gavin Advance

[geography36]

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking on here for awhile and appreciate all of the knowledge and experience available.

After reading the reviews, I am considering Brian Gavin Diamonds Advance Selection. Can anyone who has purchased this type of stone give me their experience?

In the terms, it says that the diamond is guaranteed to have color, clarity and AGS 000 characteristics or a suitable replacement will be found. Does anyone have an experience where a replacement needed to be found?

Thank you

I assume those are diamonds that are not back from AGS grading yet. I think you could put a deposit on one and then make sure it comes out as Signature H&A (seeing all the images and grading report) before finalizing the sale. I would want no obligation to wait for a replacement if I didn't like the stone on hold.

Yes, that's the way I understand it as well. This is a way for you to see what's in the pipeline and reserve it ahead of time.

Good experience.
I wasn't happy with Wf selection lately so I turned to BG.
Did the As for a 2.2 stone. It was scheduled to be a vs2 came back a vs1 for same price.

Thank you everyone for your advice and comments.

I am not too time restricted, so it sounds like I have a good chance trying this out. And could perhaps get something better than I asked for and in the worst case have to wait a bit for what I expected.

You won't regret it to be honest.
Can't say enough good things about BG. The whole staff is exceptional.
