Possible 4.649cttw Brian Gavin J VS2 diamond studs

[Phoenix]

OMG!! I've finally found my perfect forever studs!! I emailed BGD after having seen so many beautiful re-cuttings as well as their upgrade policy on PS and asked if I could possibly trade in my 3.444cttw K VS2 ACA's for their larger studs. Lo and behold, the lovely Lesley replied and she said I could!!

OMG OMG!!

After a couple of weeks of exchanging emails and a short wait, Lesley came back with these, they're both J colour VS2 clarity, no fluor and absolutely eye-clean (from 6 inches at any angle):

Carat Culet Depth% Table% CrownAngle CrownHgt PavAngle PavDepth DiameterMinMax
2.304ct Pointed 60.80% 56.60% 34.6 15.10% 40.7 43.00% 8.55 - 8.58x5.20
2.345ct Pointed 61.00% 55.50% 34.8 15.50% 40.6 42.80% 8.58 - 8.61x5.25

I thought I'd only upgrade to either J colour of the same size or K colour of a slightly larger size, but not both. When I saw these, I fell in love straight away!

. The only thing left to do is for my hubby to "approve" the purchase (we'd be dropping plenty of moohlahs), so fingers crossed!!

They'd be my *forever* studs. They're just PERFECT!! (though I should never say I'd "never" upgrade again and *IF* I were to ever upgrade again, they'd be of a better colour, I honestly can't see myself ever wearing much larger studs than these!

).

Specs and photos to come in a couple of days. The stones and documentation are going to be shipped back from AGS to Brian and Lesley today or tomorrow.
