cut-wise they're all spectacular (eta: hearts image for last?)



question then is what your priorities are w/ size, colour, clarity.

Are they all eyeclean and are all their inclusions ''safe''? Did you call BGD about the inclusions on these? If the stones below meets your definition of eyeclean (it is always best to confirm that your definition of eye clean is the same as the vendor''s-- diamonds are graded crown up for inclusions) and the inclusions are safe here are the reasons for picking them.

http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamond/diamond-detail/?product_id=AGS-1040391440001 Is the biggest. But it is 2K more than this one: http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamond/diamond-detail/?product_id=AGS-1040399230059 2K is a lot for .2 mm in my case. But then again .2 is a difference most people can see with their eyes. I''d take one of these two most likely. If you want a simple soliaire, then I''d go for the bigger one. If you want a more elaborate setting I''d take the less expensive one and put the extra funds to upgrading my setting.

I just talked to Brian and he said the stones are completely eye clean. The Is face up white but I need to find out what''s white to me ? I think I''ll be happy with all their size but not sure if I can handle an I color. I previously got a G SI1 from Brian and was very happy with both the color and clarity. Not sure how much difference the I will be. He said an I is still an I but once it''s cut properly it''s face up white. Anyone have any experience with BGD G and I? Can you tell the difference. My mom got a 0.5ct J from them and I can definitely tell it''s yellowish. Should I go with the I or pay the difference to get an H or an F? Will there be much difference between the H and the I? Confused

Please help...

If you noticed the color in a J and didn''t like it I would suggest you go higher in color, maybe to an H.

2ct I here. Tinted in some lights, tinted from the pavilion, tinted when compared to a G, white face-up.

 

[Gypsy]

Oookay. That puts a different spin on it. I''d get the F then.

I had two stones from BGD called in for me to view.

One was a 2.54 H/VS1 the other was a 2.45 G/SI2. I could easily tell the difference between the G and the H, not necessarily face up too easily, but from the side I could.

I would not have been comfortable with the H but I am super color sensitive. Also, it was a lot more expensive than the incredibly and perfectly eyeclean G/SI2.

Both stones were viewed by an independent appraiser and they were the exact color the AGS report said they were.

BTW, on the F/SI2 I looked at the actual AGS report and there is only one inclusion in the center of the table? I wonder where the other inclusions are......maybe it just was not showing up on my monitor?
