I need assistance with finding a diamond, about 1 ct, with a budget around 6 to 7 thousand dollars. I’ve heard of hearts and arrows diamonds that different sites offer. Any suggestions?
Brian Gavin is the way to go if you’re looking for the bets cut possible. If you tell me what style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones, halo) and metal (yellow gold, white gold, platinum) you’re considering, I’ll have a look at what the best diamond would be for you.
Thanks.
I’m interest in a pave setting, possibly with a trellis, in a white metal, gold or platinum. The ring should be appropriate for someone with small fingers (thin).
A pave setting with trellis is very difficult to find. And if your partner has thin fingers, then something like this would look amazing as well:

Or a bit thicker, but still a very elegant setting:

And if you put this diamond in it, it would make a great combo:

It has some inclusions, but looking at the actual photo, they won’t be visible with the naked eye. Brian Gavin is known as one of the world’s experts when it comes to perfectly cut diamonds. BGD’s Signature diamonds are truly fantastic. They are all incredibly brilliant.
Let me know what you think.
What do you think of James Allen’s diamonds? I found this diamond and ring on their site. Would this diamond be comparable to Brian Gavin’s Signature? Do you recommend any other diamonds or rings at JA, or another site than Brian Gavin? Thanks for your assistance.

The two diamonds are the same size, both are eye-clean and both are well cut. Because Brian Gavin cares to have diamonds with the best quality possible and their diamond in question costs less, it seems like the best choice here.
