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!
 
Hard one! What does Brian say about the inclusion in the center vs the inclusions on the edges of the second one? Other than the inclusions they look spectacular!
 
I'd pick whichever BGD recommends as being cleaner.
 
Thanks for the replies AprilBaby and Gypsy! I will give BGD a call tomorrow and ask them which of the two stones looks cleaner. I haven't spoken to Brian. Denise has been my contact and she didn't seem to prefer one over the other.

I agree with the others...both of these stones are beautiful, whichever you pick it will be a stunner!
