Hi Everyone,
First off, thank you for a great site. I have learned a lot and have become a little addicted to this forum! I am looking to upgrade my .54 G RB diamond and sure wish my husband and I would have known about this site 10 years ago! I have been in touch with both Brian Gavin and Whiteflash and am leaning towards purchasing a Brian Gavin signature stone. I would like to stay under $7,000 and get a stone in the .90 to 1.00 range, ideal cut and a good performer. I have finally made a move and put this stone on hold. http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.078-i-si1-round-diamond-ags-104064814006#!prettyPhoto[gallery2]/0/ It scores 1.4 on the HCA and looks good although there are some inclusions on the table it is an eye clean stone. I was also looking at this stone http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/1.008-h-si1-round-diamond-ags-104064814003#!prettyPhoto[gallery2]/3/ which also has some inclusions on the table, scores a 1.1 and is eye clean. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on either stone, but the first one in particular. I am sure they will both be beautiful, but with such a big purchase wanted to run it by you guys. If you have any other suggestions I am open to that as well.
Thanks!
