What Our Customers Say

I waited a long time for my ideal cut stones and they have surpassed even my high expectations


Hi Lesley, Just wanted to let you know that my parcel of goodies arrived safe and sound here in the UK and in super quick time (2 days from shipping). All i can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! I LOVE my pendant, earrings and bracelet – they are just perfect in every way. The craftsmanship is simply superb and I just cannot believe the difference the ideal cut makes to a diamond – they just glitter and you can see them sparkle from across the room!!! Even my husband (who normally thinks that all diamonds look the same) is blown away. I love my anniversary bracelet – it is so dainty and the diamonds sparkle away. I already had a pair of 1.0tcw studs of higher colour and my 0.8tcw BGD signature stones not only look the same size in the bezels but every bit as white as my G stones. The main difference is the sparkle between the two – I am totally sold on ideal cut diamonds as my old ones perform terribly in comparison. And finally my pendant – what a little fireball! It is perfect in every way and i just love it. I waited a long time for my ideal cut stones and they have surpassed even my high expectations. Thank you so much! And a big thank you for your wonderful customer service – it has been flawless – you kept me up to date at all times, responded to my questions in super quick time and made me feel like your most important customer which is rare these days. Karen Y.

I can't tell you how much I deeply respect and admire what you and Brian do


Hi Lesley, I just took a good look at Brian's photos and really, all I can think to say is WOW! The size and proportion, the color of that blue, the halo, the diamonds, the gallery- it all goes together so well. No one would ever know that we started with one half and added on the other. And my three rings…. yeah!!! I can't wait to see it in person tomorrow. I'm going to fall asleep having "good gem dreams" tonight! Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I deeply respect and admire what you and Brian do, the quality of work that your company produces, the loving attention to detail that you give to every piece you make, and the care and treatment that you give to every customer. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with you and to get to know you. You and Brian are a treasure. There are not too many people (or businesses) these days, who actually care about their customers being happy. You are such nice people, experts at what you do and a real pleasure to do business with. Please give Brian a big hug for me. Thank you so much, Lisa S.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am to both yourself and Brian


Hi Lesley, I cannot put into words how grateful I am to both yourself and Brian. I love the ring so much that upon seeing it, it actually brought a tear to my eye. The quality of service and craftsmanship you provide is second to none. I can honestly say that Brian Gavin Diamonds will be my exclusive jeweller for life. My only regret is that I never purchased the center stone thru you as well, but I'm new to this, and you live and you learn. I cannot wait to propose to my girlfriend with such a piece of perfection. Thanks again so much for all you and everyone at Brian Gavin Diamond's has done for me. Walter C

I got the earrings today and they are beautiful!


Hi Lesley, I got the earrings today and they are beautiful!!! Thanks so much for your help. I gave them rave reviews on Pricescope so you may get some more orders on these!!Liz

Thank you for working with me and helping me find something that my future wife would love


The ring is beautiful; I managed to sneak out of the hospital to pick it up. I'm glad that I decided to buy from Brian Gavin, we planned on naming my son Gavin and when my friend referred me to you I knew it was more than a coincidence. Thank you for everything. I know Kelly will love the ring. Brian and Lesley you two are amazing, thank you for working with me and helping me find something that my future wife would love. 2LT Jermaine S.

All I see is the diamond, as if its floating


Hi Lesley and Brian, I had such a super exciting day on Friday, as you can imagine. I woke up to find these gorgeous glamour shots and as soon as it was available for pickup I rushed over to Fedex with my pajama's on! I swear! I got home safely and was so happy to see my diamond in its new home. The Grace setting is absolutely beautiful in person. All I see is the diamond, as if its floating. Everytime I look at the diamond, I am just blown away and the 4-prongs really shows it! It's truly an amazing stone. (Can you tell Im in love with it again!) I have to tell you the ring size and shank came out perfect-o! I know I asked for it to be set higher and can see compare to Lynn B's that mine looks a little tad higher, and I just love that! Darren and I went away for the weekend and I was so happy to have my ring on and he was too! I just want to Thank You both, from the bottom of my heart, for getting me my ring back so quickly and making it so beautiful :) Big Hugs! Wanda S.

It is better in person that I ever could have imagined


Hi Lesley, Received ring today and I am absolutely delighted. It is better in person that I ever could have imagined and I am very glad I took the decision to buy online, and with yourselves. I look forward to handing this over as it is now sitting in my bag and I am very aware of this fact! Delighted with the end product and very satisfied with the service that you have provided in such an important purchase. You can be sure I will be recommending you to anyone I know from the UK that may be thinking of purchasing a ring. Kind Regards, Graham B.

I am thrilled and so impressed at how fast you turned it around


Lesley, I just picked it up and its JUST beautiful. Thanks so much! The stones look amazing, I was surprised how clean and white they were. I'm thrilled – and so impressed at how fast you turned it around. Allison K.

The diamond and sapphire band is is beautiful and delicate


Hi Lesley and Brian, I just wanted to let you know that Lucas gave me the diamond and sapphire eternity band – it is beautiful and delicate and I just love it! Thanks for helping him throughout the process, I understand he had a few issues with our bank. Lucas and I have been in a relationship for 10 years this month, and this was a gift to commemorate that occasion, this is the first time Lucas has had the confidence to purchase something for me all by himself , which makes it extra special to me, and I think my great experience in purchasing my serendipity ring from you helped with his confidence (and the fact that I directed him to your website and said look how pretty this is). Alexis P.

I want to thank you for making the process an exciting and enjoyable experience


We couldn't be happier with the ring! I can't tell you how many positive comments she's received on the ring. We expected friends and family to give praise, but I'm talking about perfect strangers who stop to compliment her on it all the time. Regardless of other's opinions, and more importantly, she and I are both extremely happy with the ring she'll be wearing for many years to come. The side stones sparkle so much more than any other setting I looked at in person, and the setting really compliments the fire and beauty of the signature diamond. I also want to thank you for making the process an exciting and enjoyable experience. Your responsiveness to my inquiries was always timely and I was very pleased with the level of customer service I received throughout the process. It was much more than a simple transaction with an on-line business as it should be for such a personal purchase. Eric M.

I've never seen such a sparkly diamond!


It's here and gorgeous!! I've never seen such a sparkly diamond! I absolutely love the setting too- it shows the diamond off in such a beautiful classic way. I know my mom is going to love it – I can't wait I until she sees her new stunning ring! This is going up on Pricescope as soon as I take more pictures this afternoon. Thanks so much to you and Brian for all your help and expertise. It has truly been a pleasure working with you guys! Mimi P.

I haven't felt this good about a purchase in a long time


WOW! I picked up the ring this morning and the smile hasn't left my face since I opened the package at the FedEx pickup site! Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you! I haven't felt this good about a purchase in a long time. Your service was awesome. I couldn't afford to spend a ton of money with you guys but I felt like you treated me as if I was a high priority customer. Bill C.

I finally received the earrings and they are gorgeous!!!


Hi Lesley, I finally received the earrings and they are gorgeous!!! I am in love with them! They should keep me very happy and tied over until the hubby invests in some larger studs! hahaha! Anyway thanks for all your help – they are amazing! Laila D.

"GAAAAAAAH! they're GORGEOUS!!!"


oh lesley! OH LESLEY!! they're GORGEOUS!! she's going to love these. just love love love! All these photos will be up on PS this evening, my time, when i get back to a reasonable internet connection. lesley, could you pls thank all the appropriate people for me and tell them that i said…"GAAAAAAAH! they're GORGEOUS!!!" Kareyn P.

The combination of Brian's excellent diamonds with the beautiful detailing of the ring is stunning


The pictures are fantastic and the ring looks magnificent! The combination of Brian's excellent diamonds with the beautiful detailing of the ring (without being overbearing!) is stunning. It's exactly what I think that Elaine was looking for in a ring. The sparkle and clarity of the diamonds is truly mesmerizing… those alone are reason enough to just stare at the ring and watch the light play off it. I was walking around my apartment, turning the ring back and forth, watching the reflections in the various lighting conditions. It seemed to go from brilliant to dangerously-distracting-while-walking. And then there's the setting – outstanding. The features look delicate and beautifully intricate, and yet give off a sense of purpose – not too busy, which is exactly what Elaine was looking for. I love the depth of the detailing that's going on beneath the center diamond – the pictures don't do justice to that aspect of the ring (or the rest of the ring, for that matter – the pictures are fantastic, but you really do have to see this sparkle in person). The marquise diamonds and the milgrain around the ring complete the vintage look I was looking for perfectly. Thanks to you and to Brian and crew – you've all created an amazing ring for me to pop the question with. Rodel Q.

We picked up the earrings and i am absolutely blown away!!


lesley,we picked up the earrings and i am absolutely blown away!! they are so beautiful, more than i could even imagine. even my husband was thrilled with them. i don't get them until valentine's day, so when the pictures are ready, please do email them to me so i can stare at them! these were actually supposed to be my 1 step closer to having 3 ct on each ear, but not sure i want to upgrade these…so gorgeous!! and they are WHITE! sincere thank you to you, brian and all your staff for the earrings!! benita t.

The ring blew both of us away, and she now is a proponent of Brian's work


Lesley and Brian, I'm sorry this message is being sent so late to you, but I've just been swamped with my move. The ring blew both of us away, and she now is a proponent of Brian's work. Everyone wants to see the engraving and surprise sapphire on the inside, but she refuses to take it off. She says it looks better and better every day. One of my Signal buddies from Georgia heard my ranting and he should be ordering too. Thank you for all your help, Steven M.

The quality of service and craftsmanship you provide is second to none


Hi Lesley, I cannot put into words how grateful I am to both yourself and Brian. I love the ring so much that upon seeing it, it actually brought a tear to my eye. The quality of service and craftsmanship you provide is second to none. I can honestly say that Brian Gavin Diamonds will be my exclusive jeweller for life. My only regret is that I never purchased the center stone thru you as well, but I'm new to this, and you live and you learn. I cannot wait to propose to my girlfriend with such a piece of perfection. Thanks again so much for all you and everyone at Brian Gavin Diamond's has done for me. Walter C.

It's a perfect piece to wear in honor of my grandfather


Lesley and Brian, Thank you so much for your hard work! I was *thrilled *to receive it on Tuesday. It looks perfect, and the extra jump ring is very handy. My husband loves my pendant as well–he says it's pretty and classy. I am very pleased. It's a perfect piece to wear in honor of my grandfather; I think he would have liked it a lot. Thank you for your wonderful customer service–it was a real pleasure to instant message and chat on the phone with you Lesley, and Brian, you did an amazing job on my pendant. The Barbara setting is great because my diamond doesn't flip at all. I'm planning to go out tomorrow and take a few pictures outside. It is usually before dark when I leave for work and after dark when I return. Once I do, I'll pass them along! I know it is always helpful for other customers to see neck/finger/wrist/ear shots =). I'm also anxious to post some pics to Pricescope. I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day weekend! Best, Tamara N.

We both find it absolutely amazing the way it sparkles in any lighting


Hi Lesley, I would just like to thank you and Brian for the wonderful job you did on the final ring. It looks spectacular and Joanne loves it (so much she hates taking it off her finger for anything!). We both find it absolutely amazing the way it sparkles in any lighting, and how great it looks on her finger. She gets compliments about it all the time and I cannot imagine anyone who wouldn't say anything if they saw it. She is now taking a look at wedding bands on your site because she wants one with melee of the same quality as her engagement ring. You will probably be hearing from us again soon :) Thanks again. Eduardo C.

I can't say how impressed I was with the level of communication and information you both provided


Brian Gavin & Lesley Harris, Thank you both so much. I just returned from picking up the ring right now and it looks absolutely stunning. I'm very impressed and I'm the one that picked it out! I cannot wait until my soon to be fiancee sees the ring. She's going to be speechless. You both were a great help to me in picking out out my perfect ring. I can't say how impressed I was with the level of communication and information you both provided. Whether it be late night and early morning e-mails I always felt I knew what was happening with my ring, and for me that was very important. Because other than a car, this is the biggest purchase I have made in my life. And while what I bought is probably a moderately priced ring compared to some of the fantastic custom work I've seen on your website and blog, the level of service and attention I received made me feel like I was the most important customer you had. I cannot wait to recommend your services to others I know and I'm sure I will be shopping from you both again when we start looking for wedding bands or other special jewelry. Thank you both again, Sincerely, Matthew W. P.S. I love the glamor shots of the ring, they make it look beautiful.

I have never seen a more beautiful diamond and custom setting to compliment this diamond in my life


I must admit when I first started my search for the perfect engagement ring for my sweetie I encountered very unpleasant individuals who only wanted my money and were less interested in exceptional service and quality. After months of searching and lots of homework I came upon Brian Gavin Diamonds. From the first phone call I spoke with Lesley Harris who made me feel so comfortable with her knowledge on the subject at hand and her friendly attitude that I decided to buy then and there. After approximately 2 weeks, because the custom setting had to be made, I picked up the ring (Lucy) hence the name it was given. I have to say I have never seen a more beautiful diamond and custom setting to compliment this diamond in my life. Lesley, Brian, thank you for making it so easy and making me so happy with this beautiful product. Just think I haven't even presented it to Lucy yet. I am presenting it to her on Valentine's Day which is the day we met 7 years ago. Anthony A.

Your photos were great but…..the real thing, unbelievable!


Your photos were great but…..the real thing, unbelievable. I have been staring at it for the last 3 hours and cannot stop. I just don't know how I am going to keep this a secret until I propose! Thank you, thank you, thank you. The graduation from round to knife edge is so gentle you can't quite pinpoint the change – perfection if there was ever a definitive definition. The diamond is the perfect size and the heart shaped prongs are fantastically more fulfilling than I had imagined. The Truth head is, well, precisely that – True beauty and balance. The aquamarine surprise keeps me smiling. I am sure the both of you are aware of the role you play in peoples' lives but for me, you have produced something that will forever mark a significant stage in ours. I won't forget this and I am sure Emma will not either. Wayne R.

We cannot express enough gratitude for walking me through the ring buying process while deployed


Lori absolutely loved the ring and the engagement was perfect! We cannot express enough gratitude for walking me through the ring buying process while deployed, I never thought I'd be comfortable buying an engagement ring sight unseen, but I would recommend you and Brian to anyone, you two were an excellent team from start to finish, I never doubted for a moment that we'd get a ring that was anything less than what we wanted. Thank you! Lori has not stopped staring at the ring, it gets so many comments. We even went into Tiffany's to get ideas for wedding bands and we couldn't help but notice how much this ring sparkled compared to their diamonds, the jewelers even commented on it! After this experience, we couldn't think of anyone else we would rather have make our wedding bands than you and Brian! We have a general idea of what we want and have included pics. We look forward to working with the both of you, and are excited to see your next creations! Thank you again!- Michael T.

She said it made her glasses get darker because the diamond was so bright


Thank you for the birthday wishes for my mom. She loves the necklace. She had cataract surgery yesterday so we were joking that she would be able to see it better after that. She said it is very sparkly. One of her friends saw it and said it made her glasses get darker because it was so bright (she has glasses that get darker in strong light). My only regret is that I haven't seen it!! So again, thank you so much. It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope to buy more in the future! MaryAnn

You are indeed my savior in getting that beautiful work of art (the ring) on time


Hi Lesley, We had a thouroughly enjoyable but exhausting wedding ceremony and went on a 1-month honeymoon immediately after that. Now it's back to terra firma and being caught up in work. Thanks again so much Lesley for all your help and advice. You are indeed my savior in getting that beautiful work of art (the ring) on time. Please keep up the good work and I can assure you that Brian Gavin is the first stop I'll go for any diamond jewelery purchases in the future. (My wife now wants a diamond tennis bracelet. groans. heh) Thank you again and please convey my best of wishes and regards to Brian Gavin and the designer-who-work-over-the-weekends to make the ring a reality. Best regards, Aidil and his beloved wife, Dianna

Too bad they'll be on my ears where I can't constantly oogle them!


Lesley, Picked up the earrings after work today. Of course, they were gorgeous and stunning. I haven't had a chance to try them on yet but sure they will be stunning on. Too bad they'll be on my ears where I can't constantly oogle them! Thanks for sending the pictures of the earrings with the jackets. How much are the jackets again? After seeing those pictures…. well, let's just say it's sooooooooo tempting. Best, Julia L.

The earrings are far more beautiful than the ones they replaced


Lesley – I picked up my earrings yesterday. They are absolutely exquisite. They are far more beautiful than the one's they replaced. Maybe I should have the cat's throw more of my jewelry in the recycling bin. The workmanship is beyond compare. The trellis work is so delicate and the diamonds so beautiful. Do you have tiny little leprechaun's working as your bench jewelers creating magic in your shop? I can't wait to work with you again. Thanks so much. Susan I.

I made the proposal and she was over the moon!


Hi Lesley, I just made the proposal tonight. It was excellent; the answer was 'Yes!'. She was over the moon and really appreciated the time and effort put into the making of the ring. Thanks so much! Warm Regards, Alexander T.

The bracelet is exactly what I had pictured in my mind


Hi Lesley, The bracelet is fabulous! I've gotten so many compliments on it already. It's exactly what I had pictured in my mind. Thanks so much for everything. I'm so pleased. Karen Y.

I am so glad I decided to purchase my first diamonds from Brian Gavin


Lesley, finally my friend brought me the package I was waiting impatiently for! The earrings are gorgeous, very brilliant and sparkling, the size is just perfect for my ears. I am so glad I decided to purchase my first diamonds from Brian Gavin, my experience was excellent, thank you very much! Best regards, Zoryana S.

BrianGavinDiamonds offers a unique, unhurried, and most of all personal shopping experience


Hi Lesley, I love my diamond pendant! Thank you for all your help as I made a decision. BrianGavinDiamonds offers a unique, unhurried, and most of all personal shopping experience. It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks again! Virginia C.

I just picked up the set and it's beautiful!!


Hi Lesley, I just picked up the set and it's beautiful!! Thank you so much!! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you!! Thank you so much for being so patient and reassuring when I have questions and concerns!!-Kelly V.

I love the blue topaz on either side of the DBTY necklace


lesley,i love, love, love the necklace. it is perfect, just the way i thought it would be. and i love the blue topaz on either side. thank you so much to you and brian for completing such a personal piece for me. Benita T.

Not sure I will be able to pry the pendant off my neck!


Lesley! Its beautiful. Absolutely stunning. I am wearing it now (is that wrong??) Lol. Not sure I will be able to pry it off my neck. Thank you sooo much! Tanya T.

You Have Treated Me Like a Gem!


Wow! Thanks for your email and for the amazing photos. I must say, they certainly are photogenic! I can't possibly thank you and Brian enough for all your help. You've treated me like a gem, and I really appreciate it!! Kind regards, Vanessa L.

She Loved the Milgrain Finish on the Sides of the Ring


Hi Brian/Lesley, I just wanted to touch base with you both now to say thank you again – though it was tough holding onto the ring for those weeks between its arrival and the proposal, I'm happy to report that everything went just as planned. We were both thrilled with how the setting turned out, I can easily say that it exceeded my own expectations which, as I'm sure Lesley can attest, were quite high. Even the smallest stones in the setting sparkle as if they were on fire, and I still catch her (and people around her) staring at it for minutes at a time without even realizing it: it's just that hypnotizing. As a special aside to Brian; the first thing she said upon detailed examination of the ring was how much she loved the milgrain finish on the sides of the ring, which of course proves once again how dead-on your sense of aesthetic is (as if it needed any confirmation). So thank you both again for all your help along the way – I truly appreciate it and will happily return as a customer in the future (though I'm done with the engagement rings now – what's next? Earrings?) Best, Patrick M.

The Craftsmanship on the Ring is Exceptional


Dear Leslie, We got engaged on December 29th, and we couldn't be happier. The night was made even more memorable by the beautiful ring I purchased. My fiancee, Jackie, loves it so much that she will not stop looking at it! It is so classic and delicate and sparkles like crazy. The craftsmanship is also exceptional. Thank you so much for all you did. Craig S.

The craftsmanship coming out of BGD is like no other I have experienced


"I have to thank Brian, Lesley and their team for the artwork and creation of my magnificent new 5 stone diamond band. I had an idea of what I wanted to see and they took it and made it real. The craftsmanship coming out of BGD is like no other I have experienced yet!" She also sent us an e-mail..""Beauty is merely the spiritual making itself known sensuously." I believe this quote sums up the context of your work, taking natures gifts found deep within the earth and creating a wonderfulness to be shared by one and all. Thank you for creating a fraternal twin for my namesake ring. ..Sally (her mother) Kate B.

Brian was able to just pop into my head and pull it out


"This design is totally Brian's brain-child. I just threw a bunch of pictures at him with parts of things I liked , we talked twice with him asking me very specific questions (is it a flat design or does it have dimension, do you see prongs anywhere, is the outline more architectural or organic) and … TA DA. I was totally expecting to have to go back and forth and back and forth… but he just 'got' it. It was like a magic trick! Seriously. No micro-management needed, just 'here's what I'm thinking' and POOF, perfect outline! YAY! I was just astonished when I opened the files up. Brian like… FOCUSES on you completely when you talk, and really tries to see into you. I can't believe how quickly he was able to just pop into my head and pull it out!" Layla R.

He Loves the Ring and the Engraving is Perfect


He LOVES it!!!! It looks amazing. The engraving is perfect. It is exactly the look he knows she wants. She is going to be thrilled!! I can't wait for him to give it to her. Hopefully it will burn a hole in his pocket and he will do it in the next few days. I'll keep you posted….She is totally head over heels in love with the ring. She couldn't believe that her now DF had saved the pics of the inspiration ring and had something made that was a million times even better! Everyone in both families was so happy for them and thrilled with the gorgeous ring. Kate

Brian's Advice to Go with the Novela Setting Was Spot On


Eeek! Lesley, I can't tell you how fantastically thrilled I am with the ring. Thank you a million! After we got to FedEx and opened the box, I was speechless. We went out to our favorite sushi place to celebrate and I couldn't stop looking at your beautiful work of art. I can't believe I get to wear such a spectacular piece every day! For someone who wears no jewelry, it'll be a change, but one I am eager to make. I really appreciate everything you, Brian, and the team have done for us, especially during the busiest time of the year. I came in not knowing what I really wanted, and Brian's advice to go with the Novela setting was spot on. I have nothing but admiration for your fantastic work ethic, superb craftsmanship, and impeccable customer service. (Ok, I know, I'm running out of superlatives.) Thank you for delivering above and beyond, even a week early! Tracy D.

My New Diamond Studs are Wonderful!


Lesley-just wanted to let you know how much I love my new studs. I've never had a diamond pair and these are wonderful. Thanks also for the page of photos etc.. for each diamond-a great summary that I'll enjoy. Thanks again to you and Brian for all your help-Vicki

I Have No Intention of Returning This Diamond

Hello Leslie, I just wanted to let you know that I have absolutely no intention of returning this diamond back to you except to have it set:) It is perfect in every way and I wanted to thank you very much for all your help and patience. I hope you have just a little more patience with me as I continue my search for a setting:) (which I also hope you can help me with) Thanks again! Glenn K

I Hope to Buy from BGD Again…and Again


Thank you so much Lesley & Brian. It looks splendid….it has been a pleasure working with you and I hope to buy from BGD again..and again. warm regards, Sandeep

We Are Both Still Over The Moon With The Ring


We are both still over the moon with the ring! Everyone who has seen it is genuinely very impressed with it and I feel very smug having decided to buy from yourselves! I've also been comparing rings in various stores and I have to say I'd be looking to spend at least 3-4xs what I paid with yourself to come close to the fieriness, I'm not sure how you do it but I'm glad you do! Regards Steve

My DBTY Necklace is Perfect for Everyday Wear


Hi Lesley, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Thank you for sending the pictures. I received my necklace Wednesday night and it is absolutely beautiful! My husband made me put it back in the box until Christmas day, but I have been wearing it since then. The necklace is more delicate-looking than I imagined but it still looks perfect for every day wear. I am very happy with it and you have been great to work with! I look forward to working with BGD on my next project! Happy New Year! Thank you, Anna

My Novela Makes My Diamond Pop


Hi Lesley, I love this new setting! It is so delicate and really makes the diamond pop out! I also love how the new setting shows off more of the diamond then the old one My mother in law must have noticed too. On our way out of the movie theater on Christmas, she commented that the bathroom soap managed to make her ring sparkle again, hee hee! Thank you, Brian, and the whole team for the beautiful ring! Tina Y.

Diamond and Sapphire


Hi Lesley, Thank you for getting the ring done in such a short amount of time, especially during such a busy time of year for you. The pictures below are lovely and made me really look forward to receiving the actual ring. I got it yesterday and it's beautiful. It's everything I wanted the ring to be and more. It fits well and like you said, it's very delicate but still has a presence on the finger. It goes well with my wedding band… and I'm sure it will go well with my engagement ring as well (once I can wear it again).Terri L.

I am so Impressed with Brian's Workmanship.


Lesley and Brian, I wanted to let you know we got the ring yesterday (12/24) and it fits perfectly! I must tell you I am so impressed with Brian's workmanship. I have a couple other upscale platinum pieces, but the design detail and finishing on this ring is by far superior. Everything — the prongs, the bezel, the proportions, and the finish….is perfection. And the fire and brilliance of the diamonds is a site to behold! At this point I've had the pleasure of showing it off a bit, and the responses are amazing. Everyone is blown away by this ring! People can't quit looking at it. My sister tried it on last night and I had to beg her to give it back! :) She wants one identical….I will send her your way when the time comes. Thank you so much for making such a spectacular ring for me. Doug and I are so excited to be getting married and this ring makes it seem even more special. Many thanks and happy holidays! Kelly D.

My Pendant Was Love at First Sight


Dear Lesley, I got the package! I tore open the main box and found the 2 separate packages inside. Let me share with you, the necklace is beautiful, but you already knew that! ;) . I opened the box and it was love at first sight. The work is just so fine and detailed! The first thing I did was took it near a window to see the fire dancing inside the diamond. This will be my everyday necklace to wear now. :) Thanks so much, Ying

I'm Just Wowed With My Beautiful New Earrings


Lesley, the earrings are beautiful! I obsessively stalked the FedEx website this morning and immediately went to pick them up as soon as I saw they had arrived. I opened the box and my first reaction was – wow, they look much bigger than I expected! Although I'm slightly self-conscious, I'm sure that will pass soon as DSS sets in! My second reaction was that I couldn't believe how amazingly brilliant and sparkly they are. I know the stones I traded in were well-cut stones, but I can really see the difference between those stones and these beauties. I wondered if I could see the difference between well cut stones and ideal H&A, and I definitely can! I'm just wowed! I'm sure it helps that these stones are also bigger! The K warmth is just slightly apparent, but well worth the trade-off for this pair. Thank you all, again, for the tracking down these stones for me and rushing to get them to me in time for Christmas. They are the perfect Christmas gift! Jill S.

I'm Glad That I Went With the La Pousette Backs


Hey Lesley, Picked them up at the FedEx Depot this late am, you guys do an amazing packing job, I cannot believe all the boxes and inner boxes you use. It took me 5 min just to get to the studs! Well, they are beautiful. I am very glad I went with the La Pousettes, I was playing with them and they just don't slip off, if they slide down the post, they catch very firmly on the groove, looks like 2 grooves on the post. She is going to love them and thank you again for all of your hard work, matching the pairs, and the beautiful finished product. I will post them on PS, if you have any other pics, please email them to me today so I can incorporate them in the post. Have a Happy Holiday and a Happy, and especially Healthy New Year. I am sure you will need the rest after a hectic Christmas season. I heard you don't sleep! Bill

You Have Made My Dreams Come True

Hi, FedEx just dropped of the diamond. Oh My gosh. What an amazing stone!!! You have made my dreams come true. I will spend more time looking at it tomorrow when I have a moment to myself (my husband is taking the kids out to a friends while I prep for dinner and make deserts). My kids are running around right now and I am prepping the christmas turkey so no real time to look at this magnificent stone. I am totally impressed with the packaging, the added loupe and gloves. What an amazing experience. I have been looking for this diamond for over a year and I am just so happy with BGD . Many many thanks. Let Mr. Gavin know I am a great fan of his work and your customer service is impecab. I hope one day I can have something made from Mr. Gavin. I will have my diamond set at a local jeweler friend next week when the Christmas rush is over. I will post pictures on pricescope. The fire on the stone for the few minutes I saw totally out shone my current .33 center stone I have. It is just gorgeous. Happy Holidays. Sandra D

My Expectations Were Exceeded in Every Aspect


Dear Brian and Lesley, This will just be a quick email as I am on my i phone I just wanted to let you know my ring arrived today (and before Christmas yay!) and it is truly exquisite really a work of art. I thought it looked magnificent in Brian's photos but it somehow manages to look more amazing in real life. I'm thrilled with it and Lucas thinks it looks fancy designer jewellery house – but couldn't think who he was thinking of – but I'd say that is a compliment from him :-) I have been thrilled with the process of buying from Brian Gavin Diamonds. I would like to write more but will go and admire my ring some more for now. I will try and take some hand shots over the next few days to send through. I can't thank you and your team enough I just love this ring. Wishing you very happy holidays. I hope you now have a few days to relax. Kind Regards Alexis I have to tell you I have really been enjoying my ring. I haven't stopped admiring it since I got it on Christmas eve. At first I thought this ring is so amazing, I may never need another ring in my life. Then I came to my senses, and thought, well if this ring can turn out so amazing, what fun it will be to do further projects :-) But really, I just adore this ring so much, it really looks like a work of art to me, the workmanship is just so exquisite… Thank you again Lesley and Brian and to your team, I really am an overjoyed customer, and have no doubt I will be back in the future. I decided I would like to work with Brian Gavin Diamonds on this project, because I wasn't sure what design I wanted, but had heard Brian had a knack for getting inside a person's head and helping work that out. He also has a great design aesthetic. I wanted a ring that was beautifully made, and working long distance I wanted to feel confident and comfortable in the product and service I would receive. I knew Brian Gavin Diamonds has a stellar reputation for all these things, and my expectations were exceeded in every aspect, so thank you. Alexis

My Ring is the Symbol of Our Love and Commitment


Dear Lesley and Brian, I'm ENGAGED! Darren popped the question the night of December 16th! Words cannot even explain what a saw when my Darren proposed to me. He opened the box as he was proposing and took out and held this beautiful ring that meant the world to me. The symbol of our love and commitment. As he placed the ring on my finger I was floored, I have never in my life seen such a beautifully cut diamond and to believe it is MINE! I cried and just could not believe the perfection. I am so glad that I had learned and read about you on Priscescope and that Darren put ALL his trust and confidence to you both. The diamond is flawless, colorless, and a "sparkler"! My mouth drops when I look at the beauty of it! The gorgeous sleek knife edge setting, it is perfection! The lines and craftsmanship are truly PERFECT, there are no other words. It surpassed all my stresses and worries (my extreme pickiness!!) Lesley, you were right! The entire ring is absolutely GORGEOUS! I barely could work yesterday, I spent the whole day chatting with the girls in the office as the crowd poured in congratulating me.. and one girl came over and said "Wanda, you lifted up your hand and all I could see from a distance was this thing sparkling on your finger!" I thought to myself, that's my ring!! :) My best friend made me feel so good when she took me out to lunch and said, "Oh my god! I have never see a diamond like that in my whole life!", and she named it the "sparkler"..it˘s such a great feeling. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me decide on the diamond and setting. Darren is so happy I can't even tell you. He said he would never go to anyone else for any future diamond purchases! Attached are some pictures I took :) Thank You again!!!!!!!!!! Wanda and Darren

Customer Works With Brian on the CAD Design of His Ring


Lesley, Thanks again for all the work you and Brian did to make our ring a reality. We've written a rather long PS series of postings telling the whole story. I think others will love the ring as much as we do. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=132169 I look forward to working with you on the wedding band when the time comes. I promise we'll leave plenty of time next time. Rob Dear Lesley, Rob and I picked up the ring from FedEx this morning, and despite his stated plan to hide it from me all day, we opened the box right away and the ring is on my finger!! It's exactly what we wanted, and it really shows off my beautiful center stone. We took a few pictures at our house this morning. My family will get to see the ring next week when we are home for the holidays, and I am fairly certain my diamond is more sparkly than my mother's so my father might be calling you soon to place an order :) Best, Ashley

The Design Came Out Just Perfectly


Hi Lesley, The package got delivered to me around noon but I haven't had a moment to myself until now. I absolutely love it! The design came out just perfectly. I started writing this 3 hours ago and only just now have been able to get back to it. I know I had more to say about how perfect the ring is but I've totally lost my train of thought. Anyhow, thanks for putting up with my dithering about what I wanted. It was a pleasure working with you and Brian again. Best regards, Amy

I Lack Words For How Pleased I am With Everything


Hi Lesley, The proposal went excellent and my wife to be absolutely adores the ring. I really lack word for how pleased I am with everything that you have offered from advice to the design of the actual ring! In regards to the matching ring I will get back to you sometimes after Christmas, I think we will try to time that with a US trip. Once again, thank you so far! Jesper

I Hid the Ring in a Book for the Proposal


Lesley, I just wanted to let you know that I proposed and she said yes!!!!! I had hidden the ring in a book that I made so when she got to the last page it said "Elizabeth, will you marry me?" with the ring in a little hole cut out for it. She was really shocked and just sat there for a little bit before saying yes. I'm really excited and happy, and she loves the diamond and the ring! Aaron F.

My Diamond Has Never Looked Better


Hello!! I picked up my package on Tuesday, and seriously, all I can say is WOW. The ring is absolutely beautiful. The design is perfect for an emerald cut, MY emerald cut, and it was executed beautifully!! My diamond has never looked better. THANKS to you and Brian both!! I am so very happy. and the bracelet is just beautiful. Both pieces are elegant and delicate, exactly what I was after. VERY pleased! Hopefully before too long I will be able to reset my emerald cab. Thanks again Lesley and Brian!! So happy with everything. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season! Becky

Words Cannot do the Ring Justice


I want to give you two the biggest THANK YOU I've ever given. The ring is incredible – words can't do it justice. I showed it to my roommates and they were stunned as well. It's honestly more than what I could have hoped for. I'll send you a follow-up once I "pop" the question to give you her reaction. But seriously, thank you so much for making something so incredibly special. Manoj

The Studs are Wow Wow Wow!!


Hi Lesley! I received the studs and they are GORGEOUS!! Wow wow wow. I love them. Thank you so much for pulling this off so quickly, and for the very generous upgrade in color and clarity. I'm already looking forward to my next BGD piece (for myself) *wink wink* I hope you have a lovely weekend! Elisa C.

This is Truly My Dream Stone in Every Way


Brian and Leslie, I just wanted to thank both of you for all the time you took to help my boyfriend find the perfect diamond. I have had it on my hand for a day now and I can't get over the way it shines and sparkles. I can see the arrows in almost every lighting. This is truly my dream stone in every way. Now I have the hard part. I have to decide how to set it. I really appreciate that you took an entire Sunday afternoon to help him find the right stone. I would have loved to been there to learn all about cut from an expert, but at the same time, I loved the surprise. Sincerely, Micaela

I'm Blown Away By The Elegance of the Setting


Lesley, The ring is absolutely beautiful. I love it. I am blown away by both the perfection of the stone and the elegance of setting. My eyes are literally sore from being blinded by looking at the stone under every type of lighting conditions. My parents, who are very difficult to impress, were very impressed. Of course I feel super smart for finding and picking you guys in the first place. I know my girlfriend will love it. Nitin S.

I am So Happy to Have a Baby BGD Stone to Call My Own

Lesley, I got the stone today. I can't believe that within 24 hours of placing the order that gorgeous little blinger was in my hands! It is close enough in size and color to match my family stone so I'll be going forward with my very first diamond purchase. I am so happy to have a baby BGD stone to call my own. I took it outside and the fire is just indescribable! I am blown away. My first thought was "Holy Fire Batman!!" My stone struggles to compete but she does OK with what little fire and brilliance she has. I keep telling myself that they will be in different ears so it's OK if they aren't perfectly matched. I'll be keeping it provided my husband agrees it's a suitable match. Thanks again! Claire S

Nothing Could Prepare Me for the Dazzling Light Show!


Dear Brian and Lesley, I usually have very high standards for the work I perform and expect no less from others, although often I am left disappointed. When I received the ring you crafted for Phyllis, however, I was astonished at the quality of both the diamonds and the setting! Although I had seen photos of and read about ideally-cut diamonds on pricescope, nothing could prepare me for the dazzling light show that your three hearts-and-arrows stones display under any lighting conditions. The delicacy of your platinum work is marvelous and I appreciate your attention to detail; yes, I noticed that the stone is perfectly aligned with the prongs. Phyllis was overjoyed when presented with her gift and is unable to keep her eyes off of the ring. "Stunning" and "spectacular" are the words she uses the most often. We look forward to working with you again in the future! Francis

I Beyond Love My Ring


I've been meaning to write you guys but things have been so crazy! I beyond LOVE my ring. I love the fact that there are no blood diamonds and that my setting was made by Brian and not a big corporate company. It just FEELS different. I know it is made with great care and integrity. Alex told me you guys really worked with him and I knew this was the only place I wanted to get my setting. It's exactly what I wanted. One day we will be able to get a Brian Gavin hearts and arrow!!! Thank you Brian and Lesley from the bottom of my heart. The proposal was magical. I'm sure Alex told you he took me to Paris, France!!!! I have been telling everyone about BGD. Love you guys. Teresa L. (Alex M.)

The Setting is an Elegant Blend of Vintage and Modern


Brian and Lesley – There just aren't enough words to tell you how happy I am! Honestly, I've been putting off writing this because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do your beautiful creation justice! I've spent the last two days in a bit of a daze — both at the prospect of marrying my favorite person in the world and at the absolutely stunning ring that I'm now sporting! It is exactly what I'd wanted and your patience with all of my questions — and tolerance for my amateurish photoshop "sketches" of my "dream ring" — was no less than the raves that fellow Pricescopers have described, and yet was still so far above and beyond what most organizations consider customer services that I have been in awe. Your dedication to your craft was clear to me from the moment we first spoke and is now evident to anyone who is within — oh, I don't know, a 50-foot radius of this lovely ring. The diamond itself is a knockout and the setting is such an elegant blend of vintage and modern and so immaculately made that it can't help but turn heads. Most importantly, though, it is something that I will treasure wearing for the rest of my life. I can't thank you enough, really, but I hope that you know how much this has meant to us. All my best, Gina N.

I'm Walking Around With a Couple of Disco Balls in My Ears!


Hi Lesley, I picked up my earrings this morning and they are FABULOUS!!! I'm walking around with a couple of disco balls in my ears:) The settings are delicate and beautiful, exactly what I wanted. I love that the little doughnut keeps the martini from sinking too far into my ears; I'll see if I can master the ear shot and send you a picture. My rave review will be on Pricescope within the next day or two. Thank you SO much, Diana

Customer Describes Novela and Sapphire Ring as Sheer Beauty and Perfection


Hi Lesley, Just wanted to say a BIG thank you (again) to you, Brian and everyone else there at BGD. I work in the hospitality industry, and I can say that your customer relationships and service is far above and beyond anything I expected prior to my engagement ring search, and would alone be merit enough. However after picking up the ring (and promptly opening it in the car of course), the craftsmanship, care and quality evident in the perfection and sheer beauty of the ring is testament to BGD. I am so happy I was able to work with you on this project. I would not have been able to complete this without the patience, advice, and constant & timely communication from you and Brian. Without a doubt, I would (and plan to) recommend BGD to anyone that will listen =) I am so excited to finally see the stunning ring myself, and can't wait to share it with my girlfriend. I know she will be even more amazed than I! Thank you thank you thank you! Adam B.

The Truth Head is True Beauty and Balance


Dear Lesley and Brian, I just picked up Emma's ring from FedEx in Hong Kong. I was both so excited to see it and ridiculously nervous to open it anywhere near people – which in HK is everywhere!! I am scheduled to depart HK for Shanghai tonight at 9pm but I could not spend the day hanging around knowing I had the ring in my bag so I returned to the airport at 3pm, found a private booth in a sports bar and began the ritual. I donned your white gloves (nice touch) and gently opened layer after layer. I stared at the box for about 20 minutes. Eventually I opened it and was literally hypnotized. Your photos were great but…..the real thing, unbelievable. I have been staring at it for the last 3 hours and cannot stop. I just don't know how I am going to keep this a secret until I propose! Thank you, thank you, thank you. The graduation from round to knife edge is so gentle you can't quite pinpoint the change – perfection if there was ever a definitive definition. The diamond is the perfect size and the heart shaped prongs are fantastically more fulfilling than I had imagined. The Truth head is, well, precisely that – True beauty and balance. The aquamarine surprise keeps me smiling. I am sure the both of you are aware of the role you play in peoples' lives but for me, you have produced something that will forever mark a significant stage in ours. I won't forget this and I am sure Emma will not either. Thank you. Well I only have 4 more hours of undisturbed gazing so if you'll excuse me I will return to my hypnosis. I will keep you posted on the proposal. Kind regards Wayne R.

I Was Absolutely Stunned By the Ring


Lesley, I finally acquired the package from Allison today after much anticipation. I waited until I returned to my house to open it under appropriate lighting, and I was absolutely stunned by the ring! I cannot imagine a diamond having superior radiance and fire to Brian's cut, everything else seems dull in comparison. The setting is perfect as well, I was quite impressed by the polish on the platinum and the design is flawless. Although I had the pleasure of selecting the diamond and model cast in person this summer, the effect of the ring in final form is truly incredible. You were certainly right when you said that I'd have a difficult time waiting to give the ring to my girlfriend once I saw it! Thank you so much Brian, for your superior craftsmanship, and Lesley, for your attentive customer service. I look forward to sending you hand shots of the ring after I propose. Ryan S.

I Got the Ring and It is Amazing!


Lesley, Just wanted to let you know that I just got the ring. It is AMAZING! The center diamond really sparkles, and looks great in the yellow gold! I'm sure we'll be getting back with you in couple of months for the bands. Thanks again!! Scott J.

The Jurica Setting is Classical and Elegant


Hi Lesley, I picked the ring up yesterday and I am so pleased. It is simply beautiful. The Jurica setting is classical and elegant and I know Donna will love it. I thought the .92 center stone might be too small, but it looks great and very proportional. Not sure when I will propose (Christmas or New Years), but will let you know Donna's reaction when I do. Thanks again for all your patience. It was a pleasure to work with you on this purchase. Your professionalism, processes, and reputation made it possible for me to feel confident about an online purchase of a diamond; and your timeliness in responding to my requests was excellent. Thanks again, Dennis S.

My Diamond Blows Away the Ones I Saw in the Stores

Lesley, Josh and I picked up the diamond today after work and took it with us to dinner. It's simply beautiful! We had some interesting lighting in the restaurant, and I had brought my aunt's old engagement ring to see how they compared. Your stone made my aunt's look pretty sad. :) I've spent the last hour looking at it in different lighting and am just amazed. Josh commented on how much prettier it was than the stones of his female coworkers (stones much larger than this one) and enjoyed looking at it through the H&A viewer. I am going to have a hard time giving it back to him when he takes it to be set. We've looked at diamonds in stores, and some were nice, but this one blows the others we've seen away. Thank you so much for the wonderful diamond as well as your attentive, stellar service. I can imagine how busy it must be for you at this time of year, with customers commissioning much larger projects. I have been very impressed with how smooth and positive this experience was. My parents are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, and are planning on upgrading my mom's ring, and I have already recommended they come to you. We will certainly be back for future projects. Please tell Brian thank you from Josh and I! Nicole C.

Another Satisfied UK Customer

Hi Lesley, Just wanted to say thanks very much for the lovely diamond ring. It arrived safely and just looks fantastic! She said yes and is totally in love with the ring, just can't stop looking at it :) Sorry it's taken so long for me to write back and thank you but we've just been so excited!! Many thanks again and kind regards, John W.

Pendant Looks Amazing!


Hi Lesley, I picked up the pendant from FedEx this morning and it looks AMAZING! Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to many more purchases from BGD! Teslyn W.

She Described Them as "Rainbow Laser Beams"


Hi Lesley, First, I'd like to thank you and Brian for putting together such a fantastic ring within my desired timeframe and budget. It has been an absolute pleasure in dealing with you and I must say, the ring definitely did its job. She said yes so now we're officially engaged! On our surprise trip to Miami she couldn't take her eyes off the ring and to be quite honest neither could I. It sparkles even in the lowest light setting! She described them as "rainbow laser beams". Your level of service and support has been great and I definitely look forward to working with you on getting our wedding bands and future jewelry purchases. My fiancé (Andrea) loves the ring and has made a formal request that we get our wedding bands done through Brian Gavin. You guys rock and we'll definitely be recommending you to all of our family and friends! Edward S.

All I Could See was the Ring!

I'm so glad I insisted on him to buy from Brian Gavin…Special thanks to my gd fren, Carolynn who recommended you guys! My next project will be our wedding bands! Hoping to make a cartier look-a-like and need ur help once again!.. :) Warm Regards, Jeanette

The Diamond is Gorgeous and Real Perfection

Dear Lesley and Brian, I picked up the package yesterday. The stone is gorgeous! Really perfection. I am so pleased. Thank you for the goodies you sent along. I wasn't expecting the extras; the gloves, idealscope viewer, the little black stone holder, and the bags to store everything in. Whoa, what great service and what nice people you are to work with. I look forward to working with you again and in the mean time will be drooling over the photos of your current projects. Thanks again for your great customer service and for offering such a beautiful selection of diamonds. Best regards, Romaine L.

Craftsmanship of Pendant is Amazing!


Hi Lesley, My pendant just arrived and I'm blown away with how stunning it is in person! The craftmanship is just amazing, it looks so delicate. And it's so sparkly! I'm loving the hint of warmth I can see in certain lighting – athough I have to say it looks alot whiter that I would expect a K to be. I'm so glad I chose your company for this project – thank you so much for all your help and patience with answering my questions, and above all thank you for making me such a beautiful piece of jewellery. I certainly hope to be able to work with you again for any future projects I have in mind. Once I get hold of a camera to take some pictures I will be sure post a glowing review on Pricescope. Many, many thanks indeed, Dayna M.

The Diamond Pendant is Drop-Dead Gorgeous!


Hi Lesley, The pendant is drop-dead gorgeous! It is exactly what I'd envisioned. ! The details are absolutely perfect and just as I'd hoped. I posted a couple of pictures on PS showing the pendant next to my e-ring. The "blurry neck shot" accurately depicts the color when it's on my neck. It looks amazingly white. The diamond is just incredible! Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to work with you and Brian again! I have a feeling you're going to be making a lot of pendants this holiday season! Please pass along my best holiday wishes to Brian. I hope you'll both be taking a vacation come January! Cheers, Alexa P.

Open Basket Full Eternity Band is Blinding!


Hi Lesley! This band is just unreal. I will try to take some hand pictures today! I was at a movie theatre last night and got so many comments while waiting to walk in! I was told it was "blinding! " It was great… the best one was someone told me to 'turn it off' when gave the 'turn off your phones and no lit cell phone screens' at the beginning of the movie. I giggled… talk to you soon! Maria V.

5 Stone Trellis Ring is a Piece of Art


Hi Lesley, I picked up the band this morning and it is *stunning*. The prongs are just like you promised they'd be, and the profile is amazing. Open, but secure. The diamonds are incredibly white and sparkly. In short: it's a piece of art. Thank you so, so much, Emily N.

The Magnificent "Twist" Diamond Pave Engagement Ring


Hi Lesley, A gazillion thank yous for you and all the guys and gals in Brian Gavin for all the effort put in to ship my ring in time. I can't wait to see the pictures and of course, eager to see the ring with my own two eyes. I'm sure it will be superbly gorgeous. You certainly live up to your reputation of excellent and heart to heart customer service. :) Thanks once again. Best regards, Aidil ps. can't wait.. can't wait.. Hi Lesley, I got to make this a quickie. Getting hitched soon. :) I have received the beauty. And what a beauty it is. And the rock just sparkles like those in the B&Ms even in normal daylight conditions. Just plain astounding. Worth the wait definitely. Anyway, thanks once again and I do promise to write again once I get the wedding over with. Thank you once again. Best regards, Aidil

Matching "Sister" Earrings


Thank you, Lesley! I love the "sister" pictures. I picked up the earrings and they are beautiful! Thank you so much for your help with this project. Thank you too for the valuation forms for the girls and for the nice boxes and white gloves. I appreciate it. Patty C.

Diamond and Sapphire Drop Earrings


Lesley, Just wanted to let you know that Patrick gave me the earrings yesterday, and they are beautiful… I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with them. Colleen M.

Customer Loves Movement in Princess Cut Diamond Earrings


Hi Lesley, I spoke with Brian today. I called to tell you how happy I am with my sister's earrings. The quality blows away the old earrings. I have not given them to her yet. I will probably wait till Christmas. I do love movement in her diamonds….Talk to you soon! Valerie B.

Customer Can't Stop Staring at Her Ring!


Lesley, we finally picked up the package today. I am so glad that I am done with midterms today because I don't know how I would have been able to focus on my studies otherwise. I couldn't stop tracking the package after you sent me the tracking numbers. The ring is so beautiful that I can't stop staring at it! The pictures you sent me — while very well taken — do not do the ring justice. I had to hold my breath because of how delicate and pretty it looked. Paul and I are extremely satisfied with the ring. Thanks again for all your help! Please send Brian my regards. :-) Warm regards, My Dung

Patrick S.


Hello again Lesley, I wanted to let you know that I proposed to my girlfriend this past Saturday and of course she said yes and absolutely loves the ring! I will surely keep in touch about the wedding bands we will get for our wedding next October. I will also keep in contact for any other jewelry I will need in the future. Hope all is well. Regards, Patrick S.

You have exceeded my expectations in every way!


Hello Lesley, I picked up the ring this morning from FedEx. It looks fantastic! I am very pleased with the work you and Brian have put in. I believe my future wife will be very excited to see this ring! You have exceeded my expectations in every way. Your customer service has been exceptional…Thanks, Patrick M.

I Didn't Know Diamonds Could Look Like This


Dear Lesley, My ring arrived on Friday afternoon. It was perfect timing. I had just finished my last lecture of law school and handed in my thesis. I came home and next thing I know there was a knock at the door and my ring was here! What a fabulous way to celebrate! And I have to say, I was completely blown away by the ring! The setting is so sleek and the prongs are so delicate! And the diamond? Well, I don't think I've ever actually seen an ideal cut diamond before, because I didn't know diamonds could look like this! It is truly stunning! I can't stop staring at it! I still have two exams to get through so I think I'm actually going to have to get my hubby to take it off me until I finish, otherwise I'll just sit and stare at my hand the whole time! :) I just wanted to say a big thank you! This was such an easy transaction and the result is amazing! I will post a glowing review and pics on pricescope in a couple of weeks when my exams finish. Kind regards, Amy S.

I really like the uniqueness and clean lines of the cut


Lesley and Brian, Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back with you. Work has been keeping me extremely busy…The ring came in and I gave it to her the following week at a little Italian restaurant. Small private table with lots of candles, just like Brian suggested, and he was right. The stone was at its best in those lighting conditions. Looks like I missed the ring size by a ˝ size, but she doesn't want to send it back yet. Will keep working on that, and schedule something with you guys. She absolutely loves it and I really like the uniqueness and clean lines of the cut. Here are a couple of pictures that I took on her, nothing great, I am not an accomplished photographer. Thanks to both of you for all of the assistance and guidance that you gave me. Landen and Melanie

Customer Couldn't Ask for Anything More


I hate to say it, but… Your CADs do not do this ring ANY JUSTICE!!!!!! It is GORGEOUS!!! I am speechless! I know I was asking about other styles for the head after seeing the CADS but the beauty of this design has stumped me. I had my doubts originally and must admit your assurances have paid off. I couldn't ask for anything more. Now I just want it here already so I can give to her! Thank you sooo Much!!! Anas A.

What a great job you did with my necklace


Hi again Lesley, My boyfriend gifted me the necklace today and it is just BEAUTIFUL! What a great job you've done with this, it's just lovely. Thank you so much for making this happen, I really appreciate it and am really pleased with the final result. Thank you again, I look forward to working with you on another jewelry project in the future. Kind regards, Jenna T.

It's Official: Brian Gavin Diamonds Stop Traffic!


Dear Brian and Lesley, Thank you so much for everything you did for my engagement ring! It was so much more than I ever could have expected — it sparkles in daylight, candlelight, night light, headlights … it's just amazing! The workmanship on the setting is just as wonderful, too, and Dan says interacting with the both of you was consistently a pleasure. The diamond sparkles like mad — in fact, I was so entranced the first time I had it out in the sunlight, I started walking into an intersection without checking the lights! Luckily, I figured it out quickly (honking horns will do that) and hopped back on the curb, but it's official: Brian Gavin diamonds stop traffic. I'm not sure if Dan mentioned it, but we met at school and the amethyst he chose was to round out our school colors of purple and white. So that was especially meaningful. People have been pretty surprised and intrigued when I've whipped off the ring to show them the "super coolest part." We are so thrilled with the process *and* the product, and we can't thank either of you enough! Fondly, Shana and Dan.

Customer Feedback on a Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows Diamond

Dear Brian and Lesley, I had some time last night to inspect the diamond. I have an Idealscope, ASET viewer and the hearts viewer you provided as well as a light table and 8x loupe. I prepared by examining the CZ calibration stone that ships with the Idealscope just to get a feel for how to manipulate the gem and what to expect. After I gained confidence with this, I put on the white gloves and opened the package with the diamond. I have to say that it was really quite something. Not being familiar with precious stones and with limited experience going to actual bricks and mortars, I would say that the experience was somewhat novel. I put the stone on the black plate and viewed the arrows first, using the viewer you provided. The symmetry was superb, really something. I then tried the ASET and Idealscope. Just as in the photos, the arrows were distinct and perfectly aligned. I then flipped the stone over and viewed the hearts. I think I have been spoiled by the images you provided as I noticed that the hearts image would shift as I moved my head or changed ever so slightly my angle of view. However, it was still really magnificent. I know that the 8x loupe would not prove sufficient nonetheless I pulled it out to see if I could discern any inclusions. The grading report shows the inclusions in the center third of the table. I could not make anything out. I spent quite a bit of time just admiring the cut. Afterwards, I pulled out an LED flashlight to see what would happen. In fact, I viewed the stone under different lighting conditions. I am very happy with the purchase and believe that after it has been set and I can compare it to other real world diamonds, its beauty will stand out the more. Suffice it to say that I am thrilled. I will spend some time thinking about the setting then touch base again. As I mentioned, I am leaning towards a four prong setting with the stone set somewhat lower with a modern-look shank that is straight on the sides. I will gather some jpeg images that capture the elements and work on a sketch. I have enjoyed working with you and really appreciate your time and counsel for this important purchase. William C.

Brian Gavin Diamonds Ruins Customer's Marriage Proposal!!


Hi Lesley & Brian, It's been a little over a week since I proposed to my girlfriend, now fiance. I just want to write a quick email to update and thank you both for making this beautiful ring in such a short time frame. Oh, and most important of all, the ring fit her perfect! Hope you're not shocked by the email subject line. But if you are, you only have yourself to blame. ;-D Here is the reason…. I took my girlfriend out to a nice park in the city for some pictures and I proposed to her while we were taking a picture together. And when I got down on my knee, presented her the ring, and asked her "Will you marry me?" The answer I got was….. "Oh my! That's so beautiful! Oh my god!" Then she reached out her hands to grab the ring from me. I had to fend her off and asked again "Will you marry me??" She still had her eyes fixed on the ring and couldn't help but smiled and mumbled "But it's really pretty! Oh my…." Eventually, I had to take her hand, put the ring on her finger, and asked the third time "Will you MARRY me???" That's when I finally got the answer from her – "Yes!" This will forever be our proposal story to tell and I thank you for making it so memorable for us. Ryan T.

"The Spiral of Love" Diamond Anniversary Ring


Lesley,I just picked up the ring. It's not just fabulous, it's stunning! I˘m extremely grateful for the work you and Brian have done on a very tight timeline and how you helped me along the way. The ring is far beyond high expectations I had. Everything, from the stone itself to the ratio of the setting and stone dimensions to the elegance of the complete ring, the craftsmanship, looks just perfect to me. I think it's exactly the ring I had in my mind and was not able to describe when we started this project. You've got everything just right or better. I hope (actually I'm almost sure) that my wife will share the same opinion. I'll keep you posted on my wife's reaction.Thank you so much! Igor Lesley, just wanted to thank you again. I gave the ring to my wife this morning and she was in shock and speechless (still is and it's a good thing :-) ).Seriously, thank you very much for helping me to make a such wonderful and memorable present. Everybody who's seen a ring so far in person or pictures of it were amazed and everybody was asking who made it. I'm more than happy to share your contact information. I will be also posting on pricescope.com regarding a great experience I had working with you and Brian. Igor S.

The "Jurica" Custom Platinum and Diamond Split Shank Engagement Ring


Lesley, Hi, I just got home with the ring and it looks amazing. Thanks for all your help and advice. It's better than anything I thought I would get when I first started looking into shopping for engagement rings. I like the white gloves that came with it….now there's no chance of me putting my finger prints over the ring before I give it to her. I think I'll soon be asking Jurica to help with the shopping of wedding bands with you guys. Ray Hsu Hello! So…the proposal went well….we couldn't stop looking at the ring. We walked around Philly some, sat around in the parks, near the fountains…and then drove off to check out the lighting under the store lights in Tiffany and Cartier. We also took that time to look at wedding bands. Thanks for being part of our special day. Jurica wanted to make sure I emailed you guys back today. I guess there really is no rush for wedding bands….but Jurica wants to know if you guys had any ideas on what wedding band would go well with her ring. We're so excited…. Thanks again, Ray H.

I'm just speechless how beautiful the ring is


Hi Lesley, I couldn't wait so we decided to open the box to see THE RING today. It's gorgeous, and truly exceeded the expectation! I'm so glad that I made my decision to purchase the ring through Brian Gavin. I was so amazed how sparkle and shine the ring is. It's so beautiful. I don't think I will ever buy a ring from anybody but Brian Gavin. Every experiences that I had making the big decision was very satisfy and great experience. I personally thanks to you! I will definitely recommend my friends and family or anybody who is looking for the perfect ring! I'm just speechless how beautiful the ring is, but I'm extremely happy that I made a right choice. Thank you so much. Yuka H.

I ripped into the packaging and literally gasped


Hi Lesley, I picked up the pendant this morning. I ripped into the packaging right there in the Fedex parking lot and literally gasped! I just took my breath away it was so beautiful. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be able to give my daughter something so beautiful for her graduation from nursing school. I know she is going to be delighted and so surprised when she sees it! Of course now I think (no now I know) I have to have one for myself! :) Thanks so much! Terri P.

The first word that came to my mind was EXQUISITE


Hi Lesley! I picked up the package you sent on Friday morning. I have to confess that after opening all the packaging I was a bit hesitant to open the beautiful box with the DBTY necklace in. I have wanted one for so long and I was a bit afraid that the one you custom-made for me wouldn't meet my expectations. The first word that came to my mind when I finally opened the box was: EXQUISITE! The five diamonds are very sparkly and seem to look a lot bigger in real life than the dimensions you gave me. It not only meets my expectations, it far exceeds it. I am totally in love with it and can't walk past a mirror without slowing down to look at it again. I have worn the necklace since Friday morning and have received numerous compliments already – many from strangers! I am wearing it at the moment with my diamond solitaire and I am trying to decide if I like it as it is, or want the one a little bit shorter than the other. I am leaning towards getting a spacer to lengthen my solitaire pendant, but I will see. The only thing I didn't expect was that the chains of the two would tangle up while wearing it, but at the moment it doesn't bother me that much. Thanks a lot for a beautiful piece of jewelry and excellent customer service. I will definitely return in the future! Karlien G.

You know that's easily the best ring I have ever seen…


Lesley, I've been so busy lately that I haven't gotten a chance to send you a note about what I thought of the ring. I picked it up during lunch last week and ripped through the FedEx package, wore the white gloves, and opened up the box. My first reaction was an audible, "wow." The ring looks exactly how I had pictured it (and way better than how the CAD showed it). It is simply beautiful. I can't thank you and Brian enough for helping me get the stone and create a custom setting in such a short period of time. I am so glad I listened to Brian's advice on picking the stone. I took it home that night and showed my parents who were blow away by how much it sparkled and how classy the setting looked. It was amazing, and a great testament to Brian's work, to see even the smaller, scattered stones on the band sparkle beautifully. I sent pics of it all around to my friends and everyone loved it. One of my friends noted, "you know that is easily the best diamond ring I have seen – who chose it?? Well done!!!" Nissan D.

Customer's Ring Makes Her Face and Heart Smile


I am in love with it. I absolutely cannot get over how sparkly the halo melee is. I just am blown away by the beauty of those tiny stones. I have never seen such life in such small diamonds…I was always a little embarrassed by the previous setting. I guess because I saw imperfections I thought everyone else did. I am very analytical and once I found one thing wrong with the previous setting, I found more and more about it that bothered me. The poor sapphire just didn't come to life in it. Brian said the sapphire talks now and he is right!! I will honestly tell you that I cannot find one thing wrong with this setting. I cannot wait to go to work today and show it off! People may get tired of me putting my hand in their face. The sapphire looks so much better now. I bought it because I loved the color. And now BGD brought it to life in a most beautiful and very complimentary setting. I told Brian that I knew the sapphire was not a symmetrical cut but I loved the color so much that I bought it. In the past, I could always find the corner that was ever so slightly "off". Now, I cannot do that. I do not know what you did or how you did it but the sapphire looks perfectly shaped. I think it looks larger in this setting for some reason. I suppose all the beautiful melee allows the color of the sapphire to "pop". That may be an overused word but it applies in this case. There simply are not sufficient words to thank you for taking on this project and for the beautiful ring. I just knew in my heart that BGD would make the perfect ring and you did. I guess the best way to describe how I feel is that this sapphire ring now makes my face and heart smile. Alisha H.

The diamonds look incredible in every light


Lesley, Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my custom Brian Gavin Diamonds creation. The ring is exquisite! The diamonds look incredible in every light – even under the bad fluorescent lighting in my office. I'm still getting used to wearing such an incredible piece of jewelry! Thank you for your patience in working with me. Both you and Brian were a pleasure to work with. I'll be contacting you about an eternity band once I decide what I want and we save up. I haven't taken any handshot pictures yet but if I can get a good one I'll send it to you. Jillian S.

The Pendant Looks Marvelous


Lesley, I just wanted to let you know that the package made it here safely and the pendant looks marvelous! After we give it to my mom, I'll let you know her reaction and will hopefully have some photos to send along. Thanks again for a job very, very well done! Heather M.

eHarmony Couple's Three Stone Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows Diamond Engagement Ring


WOW WOW WOW!!! I have never seen a ring so sparkly in my life! What a difference the cut makes, amazing, I cant stop looking at it, thanks for the gloves! haha Now we wait… hehe Will let you know once I propose, probably be soon as I really want to see her face when I pop this piece of art on her!!!! Thanks again so much, was so much fun working with you! Will have to actually talk to you on the phone at some point! Lesley! What a weekend! After you guys shipped it out so quick, I had to meet with her Dad on Friday to ask permission before we went to Cape Cod this weekend! It was an amazing fall day on a deserted beach and everything just fell into place! Opening that box and asking her to marry me with that ring was the best feeling of my life hands down! She couldnt decide whether to scream, shriek, cry, laugh so she just did a little of each! ;) I attached a few pics… Everyone loves the ring and can't believe how "sparkly" is it! …We are more than happy to be posted on the blog, we are the internet king and queen! Thanks again so much for being a part of our special day, people really are amazed at how the ring looks!!! Joshua P.

I am grateful to have had such good fortune in finding you


Dear Lesley and Brian, We are extremely happy with the ring — I absolutely love it! — and it is, indeed, every bit as beautiful as you said it would be. Thank you very much again for being so patient with me, answering all of my questions, providing excellent advice, and helping me to choose. I'm very impressed with the high quality of service that you provide and am grateful to have had such good fortune in finding you. Linda C.

I can't believe how sparkly and clear the diamond is


Hello Lesley, Apologies for not writing sooner, but it's been a very busy day. I received the ring today – it's truly amazing. I can't believe how sparkly and clear the diamond is. I've shown it to a couple of friends and they are very very impressed. Obviously, as much as I like it, I'll let Karina make the final call on it, but I'm sure she'll be stunned by it. Oh, the H&A viewer is amazing – it shows off the arrows so nicely. Better still, once I knew what to look for (after looking through the H&A viewer), I could see the arrows with the naked eye – which is brilliant. I'll be giving Karina the ring over the weekend, so I'll be in touch later next week and let you know how it goes. Just wanted to let you know that I got it safely. Thanks again for your help with this. PS: The engraving is perfect, I love the lower case cursive text. Mahin D.

You made it easy as 1-2-3 and I really appreciate it!


Lesley, I have received the ring this morning. It is absolutely beautiful diamond and I love it. I'm sure Katie will love it too. Also, I had my little fun time playing with the scope and gloves you sent with the ring :) Many thanks to You and Brian for time and efforts that you have spent/put on this. Thought diamond shopping would be a big headache for me, but you made it easy as 1-2-3. and I really appreciate it. And I can't wait to see the pictures you are sending me later. Again, Thank you and Brian. and best wishes to both of you. Yongmin L.

Please pass my thanks and appreciation on to Brian, the man is a genius


Hi Lesley, I'm having a rather frantic day but just wanted to drop you a quick note to say WOW!!!!!!!! The packages arrived this morning but I've only just now managed to sneak away and open them in my car. They are absolutely perfect, I couldn't have asked for more, they make a gorgeous set and I honestly can't spot any colour difference between the 'E' of my pendant and the 'I' of the earrings almost makes me wish I'd gone for the 'J's after all (don't worry, I love the 'I's, they aren't going anywhere)! The size is perfect, the workmanship is exquisite and the jump ring on the pendant chain was a great idea as I'm loving both the 15" and 16" length. I'm so pleased that my original e-ring stone has a worthy home and won't need to sit in my sock drawer any longer (well, it will for a little while as I've promised to keep this set until the wedding – nooooo idea how I'm going to manage that but I'm determined to try). I promise to get you some neck / ear shots when I get a chance and some decent light. Please pass my thanks and appreciation on to Brian, the man is a genius – how he came up with the pendant design I have no idea. Thank you again for all your help with quotes, shipping, images and general support, I'll be back in touch when I'm ready to order my wedding band (or earring drops, which ever I settle on, unless I can talk Dave into both!). Jennifer D.

I love the way the diamond just floats in the setting


Hey Lesley. I got the ring today and it looks wonderful! I showed it to my gf's mom and you can just see it sparkle. Unfortunately, I will wait until next weekend before I break the surprise. (Assuming it doesn't rain in Austin) I'll keep you posted on her reaction. I appreciate all your patience during this process. It took me 3 months before I finally pulled the trigger. Please let Brian know that I love the work he's done. I love the way the diamond just floats in the setting. John L.

This experience was so easy and pleasant


Hi Lesley, I was able to pick my earrings up this morning. They are just beautiful and have a wonderful sparkle. Thank you for your help with this, this experience was so easy and pleasant and I know I will be back for future needs. Have a great weekend. Helgard J.

My clients' eyes were drawn to the pendant as they were speaking to me


Hi Lesley, I received the pendant yesterday. It is lovely. I wore it to work and have received so many compliments on how shiny and sparkly the diamonds are. I noticed that my clients' eyes were drawn to the pendant as they were speaking to me… it was just surreal. I didn't even have this experience with my heart pendant custom-made by WF! The workmanship is good and I am pleased with the pendant. Carolynn Y.

My husband said my finger was 'sparkly'


Hi Lesley, I picked up the package this evening (had to take my oldest son to move in – freshman year in college and we didn't get back in town until almost 7pm!) The set is absolutely beautiful!!!! The e-ring and the eternity band fit perfectly together and the workmanship on both pieces is spectacular! The diamond is amazing too! My husband said my finger was 'sparkly', and I love the set! Thanks to you and Brian for such fantastic work and exceptional customer service. I can't wait until my next project!Gayle I.

I could not have done this without you


That was some fast shipping! Now to the ring;..Of course I didn˘t pull out of the parking lot at FedEx without opening the box, then the inner box, then the envelope, then the tissue wrapping, then the white box, and finally the ring box. At first glance when I opened the ring box, the presentation of the ring was stunning. The martini setting showcased the diamond beautifully. The sun was just starting to set here in Pittsburgh and the bright light was hitting it perfect as I cracked the ring box open. I saw immediate sparkle and fire that really brought out the brilliance of the diamond. It could not be more beautiful, it is everything I imagined and it was so great to finally see it in person. I really could not be any happier with the ring and I wanted to send a special thank you for all of your help and patience with me throughout the process; I could not have done this without you. Rich S.

My beautiful eternity band is everything I hoped it would be


Dear Lesley, I received my beautiful eternity band today and I am absolutely delighted with it. It is just perfect in every way. The diamonds are beautiful and it perfectly complements my engagement and wedding rings. It is everything I hoped it would be and I am thrilled with it. Thank you so much for the superb customer service I received from you throughout the whole process. This level of customer care is what sets Brian Gavin Diamonds above others. I wish both you and Brian continued success in the future. Kindest regards and thanks again for all your help. Paula F.

Words cannot even describe how beautiful this ring is


Lesley, Words cannot even describe how beautiful this ring is. I have other diamonds that I thought were quite sparkly but it's not even a contest, this one takes the cake!!! The setting is also gorgeous. It's thin and dainty but substantial at the same time. The fit is perfect. I'm so glad to have learned about you through pricescope. Everything you have done to work with me has been way beyond my expectations. It's been a red letter year for us, we bought our first house 2 months ago and now this. Thank you so much. This really is the engagement ring of my dreams!! Monica J.

I'm a perfectionist and very picky and the setting is absolutely flawless!


Hi Lesley, I just picked up the package this morning. After seeing the picture you emailed me I couldn't wait! The ring is amazing. I looked it over thoroughly, I'm a perfectionist and very picky and the setting is absolutely flawless! I love the prongs and appreciate you calling me about them. Everything is gorgeous, beautiful, swoopy, sexy (if a ring can be sexy!). And thank you, thank you, thank you for getting it back to me in time! You have a customer for life! Look forward to the rest of the ring's glamour shots! Julia L.

People are staring at my hand constantly


Hi Lesley, I received the completed ring from James Meyer this weekend and I actually gasped when I saw the stone! As you know, it was sent directly to him so I didn't see it prior to being set. This is my first ideal cut round and I'm used to the performance (or lack thereof!) of my asscher….WOW….it's unbelievably gorgeous! People are staring at my hand constantly; diamonds of this size and quality aren't seen very often around here. I can't believe this is a K, and neither can anyone else! This particular stone has medium blue florescence – do you think it's helping the color? I didn't get a chance to see the other K's that you had available to compare. I'm loving the warmer color and will probably stay in this range when I upgrade to a stone around 2.5 carats – probably sometime next year. Thank you for a wonderful buying experience, I'll never buy a diamond from anyone else! Diana W.

I have never had round diamonds, and didn't expect the brilliance from these – wow!


Leslie – I just picked up my 5 stone anniversary ring from FedEx – and after going through the big box, smaller box, pouch and THEN to the ring box…holding my breath the entire time…I finally got to my ring. What a stunner! I really had a hard time with the decision to go from larger .50's to better graded .40's – particularly when I often suffer from the dreaded DSS (diamond shrinkage syndrome). Your assurance that I still had FFC (full finger coverage) did a lot to remove some of the anxiety, but I had to see it to believe it. FFC here we come!! It really is the perfect size stones for my size 7 finger. I have also never had round diamonds, and didn't expect the brilliance from these – wow! Outside, inside…they look terrific! Thank you so much for great communication, immediate response to questions and such quick turn-around in making my ring. You really have a customer for life. I will try to send a few hand shots this week, or get them posted on PS – though you know how great the ring looks on since we share the same size. :) Thank you! I wanted to let you know…I took my ring to get appraised yesterday with Geolat, here in Dallas. They were VERY impressed with the ring, and said that in all their years in business they had never seen a ring with as many certifications. They thought it was very well done and the stones were set beautifully. They even asked if I 'did it on purpose'…I said yes, after I 'saw the light – literally' – bigger isn˘t always better…and what I have is perfect. Thanks again! Trina P.

The bezel is is very dainty and makes the diamond look huge


Dear Leslie, You're right – it is gorgeous! Thanks for working on these fine details with me. The bezel is is very dainty and makes the diamond look huge. I can't wait to wear it and I will take some pictures as well. Thanks for all the support and patience. Please say thanks to Brian for as well. I can't wait to see it. Barbara B.

OMG!!!!!!! I picked up my pendant this morning…Swoon!!!!


OMG!!!!!!! I picked up my pendant this morning from FedEx and immediately went to the car to sit down and rip through the boxes….Swoon!! I love it. Any worries I had about the way the chain was attached are gone, and I love, love, love it. You guys have done far more than I expected in terms of customer service and quality. You can plan on more projects coming your way from me! (I doubt this will be a wedding piece, I love too much to wait :) I have it on as we speak… I think it is going to be my everyday piece other than my e-ring and w-band…) Many thanks to you and Brian (and your bench crew). Megan Y.

The band is even more beautiful and sparkly in real life


Lesley! I just picked up my band. The FedEx people must of thought I was nuts sitting in the lot ripping open the box. Anyway, the band is STUNNING!! Even more beautiful and sparkly in real life. I still cannot believe that these are the same diamonds and this came from the old ring. The bezels are so dainty and well done and although I had it done as a stacker ring, I like it even more than my 5 carat shared prong eternity. It just has so much character. I am so excited to be able to wear this ring everyday instead of having it sit in a drawer. OK I will stop rambling now. The only bad news is I am going straight from work to the beach and I have no camera here, so I probably won't be able to get my Pricescope pics up for a few days :( THANKS AGAIN! You are awesome, Brian is awesome, the "jewelry elves" are awesome. Tanya T.

The whole ring shimmers and shines!


I just picked up the ring and it is amazing! I love how delicate the ropes look. After seeing the rough cast photos I really do think it must have been polished up by magical fairies! The whole thing shimmers and shines! The prongs, which I had been worried about being too bulky, are absolutely perfect!!! I can't stop staring at it! Thank you guys so much! I will, of course, be taking photos this evening. Erica R.

It looks perfect, fits perfect, performs perfect and STOPS TRAFFIC!


Lesley, I just received it!!!! It is absolutely PERFECT!!!! It looks perfect, fits perfect, performs perfect and STOPS TRAFFIC!!!! I am totally thrilled  WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This ring is totally amazing :) Words cannot express my gratitude for such a perfect job done on this setting!!!! I can't quit starting at it. Once again The Brian Gavin Team hit a HOME RUN!!!!!! I am so thrilled to be part of this amazing and talent group of people. THANK YOU! Ronda R.

The design is exactly what I was hoping for and the diamonds are beautiful


Dear Brian and Lesley, I received my sapphire ring yesterday, and it's GORGEOUS! I can't stop looking at it. The design is exactly what I was hoping for and the diamonds are beautiful – you really got it right. This is my replacement engagement ring for my 20th anniversary and I will definitely be proud to wear it every day for years to come. Thanks for being so attentive and for all the prompt answers whenever I had a question. This whole process was a very good experience. I took a lot of pictures this morning, so I'm sending you a few. Best wishes for a very prosperous business. Julie K.

We are both ecstatic about the bracelet


Hi Lesley – I gave my wife the bracelet in a room that has a few overhead halogen lights, and the fire was incredible. The only problem was that I couldn't get any attention from her for a couple of hours while she stared at it :) Bottom Line: Although I was expecting a great looking piece, I was surprised to be BLOWN AWAY by how great the diamonds were. We are both ecstatic about the bracelet. The whole process has gone very smoothly, and I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to work with you. Thanks for all your help, and for getting it here in time. John S.

The appraiser noted that Brian's workmanship was simply outstanding


Hi Lesley, I got my ring and stone appraised yesterday by one of the independent appraisers I found using PriceScope. She's been in the business 27 years. I wanted to pass along that not only did she place its value above what I paid, but she was very impressed overall. She wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful the stone was for the entire hour I was there. She noted that Brian's workmanship was simply outstanding. She praised the setting (Tiffany Knife Edge Solitaire) and its attention to detail, like the small hole underneath the stone on the inside on the band (I assume for cleaning purposes, but she liked it because she could measure the depth of the stone). She facetiously said my fiancee was more likely to sever her finger than for us to have problems with the prongs, because they're placed so well (I of course will still get it checked several times a year). Anywho, thought I'd pass some potential feedback for your website along. Dan P.

I picked up the pendant this afternoon and I'm thrilled.


Hi Lesley and Brian, I picked up the pendant this afternoon and I'm thrilled. I love the thinness of the bezel, and that the jump rings are turned and nearly invisible. (Even though the bezel is so thin, it really gives the stone a size boost too!) And I don't miss the milgrain all that much – in fact, it's probably a better match for the other, smaller bezel pendant I have and plan to layer with this one. Thanks so much for the lovely pendant and for your excellent customer service! It turned out as well as I could have hoped. Shauna Y.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It turned out fabulous and perfect!


I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It turned out fabulous and perfect! I tracked the package all night literally and about 10 am my time Fedex called to say they were holding it for me to pick up and I rushed out like mad woman and as soon as I paid them the pesky $92 CAD in taxes I ran out to the car and started to open the package and ended up cutting my finger, that's how mad with excitement I was I actually didn't even notice until I got home and Chris noticed that I had blood all over my hand. I'm fine just one of those small cuts that bleeds like mad. Anyway, it fits perfectly, the bezel is lovely, it is a little firecracker, and it is EXACTLY what I wanted and I literally have been wearing it 24/7 since I got it out of the box. By the way I adore the boxes that you use :-) SO pretty. My mom and brother loved it and my idea of why I am going to wear it all the time. Pls pass my most heartfelt thanks to Brian for the lovely diamond now I finally own a BG signature stone which I have been dying to own and it is really beautiful. And thank you, thank you for your patience and help and the chats and the laughs and how fast you got the bracelet done. It was like I placed the order and it was in my hands and that's some feat considering I don't live in the US. I hope we can work together really soon…:-) Simone D.

The pendant is completely beyond my expectations


Hi Lesley, Just wanted to let you know that I picked up the pendant today and it looks FABULOUS!!!!!! Completely beyond my expectations. I can't stop looking at it. The diamond sparkles and the chain is so fine that it looks like the stone is floating on my neck. I love it so much. Thank you and Brian for everything! I look forward to working with you again on more diamond projects. Diane L.

The stone is so much fun to look at


Lesley, Hi! I just got back from picking my ring up at Fed Ex and I am thrilled. It is absolutely stunning. It faces up bigger than I thought it would (yey!) and the stone is so much fun to look at. Thank you sooooo much for all your help with this major (for me) purchase. I am happy we finally pulled the trigger and bought something. Also, the setting is gorgeous and the prongs look really amazing. The jeweler who set it really did an awesome job. I am just thrilled. Thanks sooooooo much for working with my budget and delivering a stunning ring that I will be proud to wear for the rest of my life. Take care. Stacy F.

I was simply astonished on how beautiful the ring is!!


Hi Lesley, I picked up the package from FedEx yesterday and I was simply astonished on how beautiful the ring is!! Just WOW! I had set my expectations really high and you and Brian have managed to blow them straight out of the water! The diamond is truly everything you and Brian said it would be. It is breathtaking!! Thank you so much for your excellent communication, customer service, and for everything you guys have done. I cannot wait to share this ring with my girlfriend as I know she will be just as excited and thrilled as I was when I opened that box! I went ahead and shared my experience with you and Brian on pricescope here . Hopefully, I will have more pictures to share soon. Once again, thanks again for all your help and I look forward to working with you in the future – hopefully sooner then later! Thanks again. Adam C.

I am declaring Brian Gavin Diamonds "THE DREAM TEAM"

Dear Lesley, Brian and Team, To say I love the ring would be an understatement. No words can describe how in awe I am of this ring!!!!!!! Are you sure you didn't chuck my grandmother's OEC in the garbage and just give me one of your Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds? LOL…It does not look like it lost much carat weight at all. The fire and sparkle from this diamond has been blinding me all day (even in the rain). I am so happy you were able to reuse the mounting and the prong work is outstanding! It is exactly what I was hoping for. I am madly in love with this beauty and my Grandmother will be so proud of my decision to save her diamond. It is truly something special just as she was and I look forward to passing it on to my children. I cannot thank your team enough for your outstanding customer service and the attention I received, especially Leslie who never sleeps. I am declaring Brian Gavin Diamonds "THE DREAM TEAM" . I am a customer for life and I look forward to future business. Vanessa L.

I have something now that my daughter cannot wait to inherit


Lesley, I was astounded as I opened the box. The craftsmanship of the ring was beyond my expectations. I couldn't have hoped for a more beautiful mother's ring and I have something now that my daughter cannot wait to inherit. Thank you so much for all that you do, the work is impeccable and I will be telling everyone about it. Not to worry, the ring is a large piece and not something I could wear everyday but something for special occasions and something to look upon frequently. Again, I can't thank you enough. I am already working on the next project so as soon as I get those gems in hand I will be in touch. I'll be posting the pics on Pricescope for everyone to oogle. Sandra L.

Nothing like two new little baby diamonds to brighten a girl's day!!!

Lesley, I picked up the earrings at the Fed-Ex station after work… they are beautiful! Just beautiful! I am so happy with them. Please express my appreciation to everyone on the BGD team. I will start a thread and post some pictures on PS as soon as I get a chance. *Happy sigh!* (Nothing like two new little baby diamonds to brighten a girl's day!!!) Thank you! Lynn B.

The workmanship on the settings is exquisite and the diamonds are beautiful!


Hi Brian and Lesley, Just got the earrings, and they are gorgeous! I am sure my wife will be thrilled. The workmanship on the settings is exquisite and the diamonds are beautiful! Your customer service was great and the whole process exceeded my expectations. Thanks again, and I am sure I will be in touch at another time for those earrings jackets! Rob G.

The ring is so delicate and graceful, yet substantial and sturdy


Hi Lesley! Justin proposed last night, and I said yes! I could not be more thrilled with my ring – it is so delicate and graceful, yet substantial and sturdy. I love it so much! It just lights up the room with sparkles. I have never seen such a beautiful piece of jewelry, and I could not be more excited. I want to thank you and Brian so much for making my dream ring become a reality; you both seemed to know exactly what I wanted, and I greatly appreciate all the personalized service and attention to detail. Also, please make sure and tell Brian that the knife edge tapers off just beautifully, it's even more perfect than I could've imagined! I am going to do a photoshoot at sunset tonight, so I will try to have it up on pricescope this evening. Once again, thank you so much, and I can't wait to get started on my wedding band! Summer J.

The diamond is truly everything you and Brian described

Hi Lesley– I picked up the package this morning and from what I've seen so far I could not be happier. The diamond is truly everything you and Brian described and I think it's going to look absolutely fabulous in my designer e-ring when it's finished. Thank you for your excellent communication and customer service as well. I was a bit hesitant to purchase from the other recommended vendors on Pricescope that I had talked to due to the lack of good communication but you certainly didn't have that issue. Thank you! Dan V.

I cannot wait to give it to the woman I love


Lesley, this is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life. I cannot wait to give it to the woman I love. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me make this future moment everything I know it will be. John G.

It turned out better than I could have imagined


Hi Lesley, I picked up the ring last week. WOW! It looks amazing! It turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank you and Brian for the terrific ring. It was such an easy buying experience. The quality and workmanship is first rate! I'll be in contact again when looking for a matching wedding band. All the best. Richard W.

She said the ring was PERFECT and loved what I selected for her


Hi Lesley! The ring is BEAUTIFUL! The diamond itself looked bigger than I imagined it would and the thing sparkles like crazy! I proposed over last weekend in Sedona. She didn't know it was coming and we really lucked out on the ring size because it fit her perfectly :-) We stayed at an incredible B&B overlooking Cathedral Rock and I proposed at sun down while we were on the patio after dinner. Everything went better than I could have ever expected. She said "Absolutely Yes!" and after the sun went down the owners of the B&B snuck in our room and littered it with rose peddles, champagne & chocolate fondue with strawberries leading to the Jacuzzi tub. She said the ring was PERFECT and loved what I selected for her. She can't stop looking at her hand now :-) Thank you again for all your help and patience with me! Mike S.

The diamond may be small, but it is a firecracker!


Hi Lesley, I picked up the bracelet this morning and it is gorgeous! I was a little worried about the bulkiness of the Stuller setting, but it's actually very delicate in person. I definitely didn't need an extra jump ring, the bracelet is a little too big. It looks very elegant on, I plan on taking some pictures tomorrow. Your photos you sent me yesterday don't do the diamond justice! The diamond may be small, but it is a firecracker! I can't wait to add more stones. :-) Thanks again for everything and keeping the bracelet within my budget! You are the best, and I look forward to working with you in the future! Stephanie S.

Sooo much nicer than anything I have seen at the local stores


Lesley, Just got home and opened up the package and the rings are absolutely stunning. Sooo much nicer than anything I have seen at the local stores. I am so happy and I'm sure that Shana will be too whenever I decide to propose. Now I know why you and Brian come so highly recommended from everyone at Pricescope. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future. Matthew L.

Oh my gaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian is a genius!


Oh my gaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian is a genius! I am absolutely floored just by those images and I haven't even seen the diamond in person. I think my grandmother would have been proud of this masterpiece that will live on for another 100 years…I will consider this a rescue rather than a recut. I cannot thank him enough for this work of art. Vanessa D.

The dedication to the work you guys do is beyond compare


Brian and Lesley, All I can say is wow, the pictures look amazing! And you sent this at 3:30 a.m? The dedication to the work you guys do is beyond compare. You are correct the ring looks truly amazing!!! I stared at it the majority of the morning at the office. Even slipped it on a friend of mines finger, and every way I looked at it, it is beautiful! It's not as fancy as some of the other work you have done and blogged about, but it is classically and simply gorgeous, exactly what I was looking for. I know when she receives it she will be as excited as I am. I look forward to working with you, on the band to go with this ring. I dropped the ring off over lunch at a local appraiser to get the documentation for getting the ring insured. Want to make sure it is insured before I pack it for a trip to Florida. Any suggestions on sneaking a ring on a plane down to Florida without Melissa seeing it? Only way I can think of is carry on luggage. As far as naming the ring "Melissa", I don't have a problem with using that name. I will make sure I drop you a line to let you know how everything goes. Thanks so much. Benjamin G.

What a big difference your bezel style makes versus my old bulky setting!


Hi Lesley: I'm soo thrilled with the earrings. What a big difference your bezel style makes versus my old bulky setting! Thanks so much for your time & attention on this tiny project of mine. I look forward to future purchases (that will definitely include diamonds!). Aloha! Alana L.

The quality of your workmanship is impeccable, and the diamonds are so fiery and brilliant!

Lesley, I picked up the package first thing this morning, and I couldn't wait to open it! The earrings are just beautiful!!! The quality of your workmanship is impeccable, and the diamonds are so fiery and brilliant! I was just thinking that I'm so glad I returned the other pair I purchased (which were also nice stones, but not nearly as beautiful) and went with you all instead. Thank you for your endless patience with my countless questions and inquiries. And thank you, again, for going out of your way to find these stones for me and selling them to me at the J SI2 price! I can't wait to start another project with you all. I have a few other things on my wish list, so I'm sure it won't be too long! I will write a raving pricescope review in the next couple days. Is there anywhere else I can post a positive review for you all? Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Jill S.

No number of exclamation points can express how happy I am


Lesley, It's breathtaking. The diamond and ring are absolutely incredible. Thanks to you and Brian for helping to make yesterday the best day of our lives. No number of exclamation points can express how happy I am to have worked with you and Brian on this most important gift. I'll definitely be in touch, and plan to convey glowing reviews of BGD to whomever will read or listen. Alicia and I would like to be able to thank you over the phone; please call when you have a moment. Jason S.

The prongs are so tiny and perfect and I absolutely adore the uprong shape


Hi Lesley, Well I just got the ring, and it is just GORGEOUS!! The prongs are so tiny and perfect and I absolutely adore the uprong shape. What a winner! My fiance is equally impressed! It might be a quarter or half size too big, but I'm going to wear it around for a while and see how it feels. I'm also really tempted to have you reset my engagement ring, but that one will have to wait until after the wedding! Caitlin C.

I DID IT! I went ahead and purchased this beautiful, beautiful diamond

Lesley, I DID IT! I went ahead and purchased this beautiful, beautiful diamond. Thank you very much for your help! This is by far the most exciting purchase I have ever made, and I am thrilled to be able to work with such highly recommended folks as yourself and Brian!…I also spoke briefly with Brian and I plan on speaking with him in more detail to discuss the setting. Thank you so much for making this process so much easier than it might have been otherwise. I hope you know that your personal service is exceptional. John G.

It's been amazing working with you

Hi Lesley, Just wanted to let you know that Jeff is now in possession of the earrings, and I'm in possession of some pictures! :) They look absolutely stunning and I can't believe I have to wait for them some more.. Jeff said they are even more gorgeous in person, so thank you so much for everything, it's been amazing working with you and I can't wait to get started on my ring project with you. Hyui C.

The pictures did not do the ring or earrings justice! The ring is gorgeous!!!!


Lesley & Brian, I picked up the package and I can only say WOW!!!! The pictures did not do the ring or earrings justice! The ring is gorgeous!!!! The head integration looks much better than in the pictures I sent you! My diamond shows no tint of color at all – and the euro shank looks wonderful! The workmanship is incredible and I absolutely love the head on the ring. I had to laugh because my husband was looking at the melee in the band and said "they look just like real diamonds except miniature." I think he was surprised to see the same detail in them. The ring fits perfect – better than any ring I have ever owned. It is not spinning at all and yet it is not tight. I love the euro shank! …As you know, this was the first time we saw the stones for the earrings and they are a perfect match. Kim S.

I was able to pick up my pendant Friday morning and I have to say it is incredible!


Hi Lesley, I was able to pick up my pendant Friday morning and I have to say it is incredible! The craftsmanship on the bezel is amazing and the little loops that connect the bezel to the chain are so delicate. I'm so happy with it. Thank you again for all of your help! Darcy R.

Thank you for your amazing customer service and your fantastic work


Oh my goodness I am so in love! I received my ring an hour or so ago and have already completed a photo shoot … I am so pleased with the work and the ring. You both are such an amazing duo to work with. I can't wait to find another project to work with you on. Thank you for your amazing customer service and your fantastic work. I am at a loss for words as your work is beyond words and your customer service is absolutely above and beyond. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Ana F.

The appraiser thought I got a great deal and that it didn't get any better than that

Hi Lesley, I didn't take too much time reviewing the diamond when I got it home but I did get to take a detailed look with the appraiser. The appraiser thought I got a great deal buying a G SI2 and getting something a lot closer to an F SI1. He said he loved the cut and that it didn't get any better than that. The retail value I was given was 50% more than I paid. More importantly, I think it looks amazing and couldn't be happier. I'm confident she will walk into any room and have the most beautiful ring in it. Thank you and Brian very much. I will be in touch soon. Thank you again for doing such a great job. Good luck with the new company. Dave S.

You took my dream ring and made a Brian Gavin heirloom ring!!!


Hi Lesley and Brian, WOW!!!!!! I just opened my email and Hal and I are just awed by the job that you all did. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER!!! It looks gorgeous in the photos and I can hardly imagine what it looks like in person!!! What a work of beauty!!! Well I probably won't sleep much tonight especially if I keep clicking on the photos. What amazingly talented people everyone of you are!!! You took my dream ring and made a Brian Gavin heirloom ring!!!Much thanks and warmest wishes… …The ring is so gorgeous and I have intended to write you a real thank you note. Where can I mail it? This ring is a work of art and an heirloom even now! Honestly, you and Brian and Mr. Le are just wonderful people. We truly appreciate the way you treated us and are so happy that you are off on your own. You probably already have a ton of loyal followers keeping you busy. You deserve them to follow you. Mostly I have lost my faith that there are decent caring business people but you and Brian are the real deal. Thank you. May God bless you with every good thing. Rosemarie C.

We are so excited about our diamond

We really appreciated Brian going over everything with us so thoroughly, and we are so excited about our diamond. I guess it really was meant for me! It was also very interesting to see some of the pieces you are currently working on, and how everything is made; it made the experience so much more personal and meaningful. If you would, please tell Brian thank you for spending so much time with us. We had a wonderful experience. After our appointment, we did end up going to Galveston (Justin had never been to the ocean), and had a great time there too. Anyway, it was an excellent way to spend the weekend, and we are looking forward to working on the setting! Summer J.

The earrings are perfect as a starter earring set for our daughter

Hi Lesley, Sorry for the delay. Just as I got back from Japan, I had to go on another business trip. Anyway, I received the earrings and they are just gorgeous! I'm thrilled. I showed them to my wife and she agreed that they are perfect as a starter earring set for our daughter (whenever that day comes.) I'm absolutely satisfied with the quality of the metal work and of course the diamond cut lives up to Brian's reputation. And of course Lesley, your customer service is impeccable. I had a great experience doing business with you and I look forward to working with you and Brian in the future. Benjamin R.

At this point there is no possibility that I will be returning the diamond

Lesley and Brian, Thank you so much for the honesty and help in selecting this diamond. The time you both spent on the phone with me to ensure a first time buyer that he is getting exactly what he was looking for is very much appreciated. The prices are great, and the quality is phenomenal. I have been showing the diamond to a few lady friends at the office here, and they have all been very impressed and comparing it to their own rings, and amazed at the brilliance and sparkle! I would say that at this point there is no possibility that I will be returning the diamond. Benjamin G.

I picked up the ring on Friday morning and it looks stunning!


Lesley, Just wanted to let you know – I picked up the ring on Friday morning and it looks stunning! Thank you so much for everything. I want to write you a glowing review when I have a bit more time :) Should I do that on the ivouch site? Thanks again. Garson K.

No one online or locally offered us an ideal cut like yours at prices like yours!

Hi Lesley, The diamond is beautiful! It has very colorful flashes! I had to get it appraised on Friday because BF wanted to and the GIA gemologist appraised it as a G-VS1. I'd put it at a low F/high G as well and it truly was very eye clean! I can't believe it's really an SI1! To be honest, I haven't had a lot of time with the stone at all, I only got to see it once when we opened the box and more closely a second time at the appraisers! It's being hidden from me until the ring is finished entirely. I will most likely write a more detailed review on PS about my experience once bf proposes and I actually get to live with it daily. Lol. I would have wrote sooner but lighting wasn't ideal until we went to the jewelers on the weekend…(we switched to energy-saving fluorescent light-bulbs.) Thank you for the hearts & arrows viewer. I forgot to ask if it was included, so when it dropped out of the bag unexpectedly it was very exciting for us! Beautiful hearts by the way. BF was very satisfied too! Overall a very easy transaction for us, it's a no-brainer to keep this one because no one online or locally offered us an ideal cut like yours at prices like yours! Thank you for being just awesome! Karen C.

Thank you so much for taking the time and energy that was put into making the ring


The ring looks BEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy that was put into making the ring. I can't wait to give it to her….now I just have to plan for when and how. Please thank Brian for me and I will definitely be contacting you if I have future plans. Nate L

I definitely hope to work with you guys again should budget allow me :)


Hi Lesley, I picked it up!!!!!!!!!!! The prongs are definitely more delicate in person than on pictures! I love it and is kind of glad that I didn't go with the bezel as the size may overwhelm me a bit as this is intended to be for everyday wear. I'm sure that I'll have shrinkage syndrome per PS very soon but this is the perfect size for now! The studs are beautiful. I can definitely see the color difference when compared to my ER (D color) but I just checked it out in mirror and it's gorgeous! I truly appreciate your help and patience with me. Brian is wonderful too. I definitely hope to work with you guys again should budget allows me :) Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!! Carrie H

I'm so speechless at the craftsmanship and quality that I have received thus far


I am so thrilled to have my fabulous bezel earrings. It is remarkable. Thank you so much for being such a pleasure to work with. I can't thank you enough for putting up with my insane inquiries and request. You guys are an amazing pair. Brian's work is incredible. I'm so speechless at the craftsmanship and quality that I have received thus far. Count me in as a long time customer. I just wish you could just be down the block from me. Terry N.

I can't tell you enough how good it feels to have people be so honest but so kind to me !!!!


Brian and Lesley, You were 1000% right!!! My new pendant is FABULOUS!!!! I am totally thrilled and will wear it with total pride. You both made me feel so good about my stone. I can't tell you enough how good it feels to have people be so honest but so kind to me !!!! Not cutting this stone but telling how to showcase this little beast was amazing! I am just beside myself with HAPPINESS!!! Ronda R.

Don't know how you did it, but it looks fantastic – regal, airy, classic and fresh


Dear Leslie and Brian, I have the ring, and it is spectacular! I was expecting the setting to be really high due to the citrine being so tall, but it is not. Don't know how you did it, but it looks fantastic – regal, airy, classic and fresh all at the same time. I love how the prongs came out too. (Can you tell I am loving it?) Thank you so much for creating my heirloom! It has been a pleasure working with you, and I wish you continued success for your new company. I will be back! Tytti K.

You were always so patient with me considering you're in the US, I'm in the UK and I was in Sudan when I ordered the ring!


Hi Lesley, Well, my ring was delivered today – I'm amazed it was so quick! It is absolutely gorgeous. The stone sparkles so much and the setting is so subtle in real life. I've been showing it off and had so many compliments about it. Thank you so much for all your help. You were always so patient with me, and made the process so easy, which was no easy feat considering you're in the US, I'm in the UK and I was in Sudan when I ordered the ring! Thank you again. Alanna M.

It's nice to see you both in your new digs! Congratulations!!!!

Hello Brian and Lesley! It's nice to see you both in your new digs! Congratulations!!!! My husband and I made at least four purchases from WF during your tenure, so I wanted to take the time give you a big "thanks" for the amazing diamonds that you provided. I have received multiple compliments on my rings, even from total strangers!.I am also a Pricescope member so I have seen your recent work, and I am very impressed. In particular, I love how you have chosen to set the bezel style diamond stud earrings. Pam W.

I am resending an e-mail that I sent to your Whiteflash account in February

I am resending an e-mail that I sent to your Whiteflash account in February, now that I have realized that you are no longer there: Lesley, I wanted to thank you so much for helping me pick out the three diamonds for the three-stone engagement ring. The diamonds are amazing. I had never seen A Cut Above stones in person and they blow away anything I saw during my diamond search. Thank you for being patient with me while I deliberated between a solitaire and three stone. She said "yes" on January 16th, and she is obviously thrilled with the purchase as well. Leon Mege did an amazing job setting the stones. I wouldn't change anything about the ring, and that is exactly the way I wanted to feel after the purchase. I have attached a picture of the ring and of us at dinner celebrating the engagement. Thank you again and I hope you are doing well. Paul L.

I am just overwhelmed by the beauty and cut of my diamond!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am absolutely SHOCKED AND THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY DIAMOND IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lesley and Brian, I am just overwhelmed by the beauty and cut of my diamond!!!! You have far exceeded my expectations :) .. I can't stop staring at it! My knife edge setting looks better than it ever has. I love the head. Your staff did amazing job of rebuilding the prongs. My wrap is just like new. I am just sitting here feeling like a MILLION BUCKS! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Ronda R.

It is the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen!


Hi Lesley, It's amazing! So beautiful!!! I can't believe it. It is even better in person. In fact, it is the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen! The workmanship is truly outstanding, and you have been a true pleasure to work with. Overall I am ecstatic about the ring. I will take some pictures of it tomorrow and post them on PS. I am a huge fan of your work! Jessica B.

Terry N.

OH My word! Lesley… I just picked up my beautiful diamonds today, and I must say that Brian is the MASTER cutter… It˘s just GORGEOUS! my hands shook aggressively as I opened up my package, and trying hard not to lose my loose stones… I am now 100% sure that it must go into my three stone! Please tell Brian- AMAZING Diamonds!

Extreme Diamond Makeover

Good evening Lesley, I just picked up the ring and it is gorgeous. I can't believe this is the same diamond, it now has arrows!!! It is so sparkly, that I don't even miss losing some of the diameter. (I was afraid the diamond would look a lot smaller). Now I know why its called an extreme diamond makeover. Seeing is believing. Thank you so much Lesley and Brian! I will not hesitate to contact you and collaborate on another project. P.S. Can't wait to see the Brian Gavin website once it is up and running.

I can't even believe that is the same stone


Hi Lesley, Received the ring a little bit ago and it is GORGEOUS! I can't even believe that is the same stone. It is SO much prettier. Brian did an amazing job with it, so please pass on my thanks! Thanks so much for all your help. You're both amazing! Mary T.

Even in the overcast conditions I can see how perfect the cut is


Lesley, I picked up the ring this morning — it looks beautiful! I wish it was more sunny today to really see it sparkle, but even in the overcast conditions I can see how perfect the cut is. Thank you so much for your help with this very special purchase, and please pass along my thanks to Brian as well. The box is nice too — I was wondering about that, but it looks great and will be the one that I use. Anyway, thanks again. If you do have those pictures do send them along as I'd like to share them with people. I will let you know what my fiancee-to-be thinks when I give the ring to her in a couple of weeks, but I am sure she will love it. Benjamin B.

It went well thank you, she loves the ring

Lesley, It went well thank you, she loves the ring :o ) I think I'm going to need to find someone here in the UK who can resize it ever so slightly. It fits but it's a little tight at times. Fits perfectly when fingers are cold but a bit uncomfortable when fingers warm up. Thank you so much for all your help. Russ N.

It is WONDERFUL! Amazing! So perfect.


Oh Lesley – I ran over to FedEx as soon as they called me this morning and ripped into the box before I was even out of the building. It is WONDERFUL! Amazing! So perfect. I can't get over how beautiful it is. When I opened the box the sun hit it and my car was immediately filled with sparkles. Our wedding isn't until a week from Saturday but I couldn't resist wearing the band all day long. Don't worry – I snuck it back into the box before Ken saw me wearing it. ;) Thank you so much for everything!!! Erica R.

OH MY GOSH it is so BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT!


…Hi Lesley, I picked it up at lunch and got swamped with work and haven't had a chance to email you. But OH MY GOSH it is so BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT! Brian did an amazing job. What a magnificent transformation! Brian really is a cut master. I am beyond thrilled with the results. You have been so wonderful through this entire experience, so prompt and kind and informative. And Brian was so sweet and honest, letting me know what options I had and what the recut entailed. I wholeheartedly would recommend you guys to anyone with jewelry and diamond needs. I also will be returning to you guys for future projects. THANK YOU Lesley and Brian!… Alyssa N.

Satisfied UK Customer

Lesley, I managed to pop out at lunchtime today and pick the package up from the courier. Turned out their depot was only about 15 miles away from work so it wasn't too bad, although a little difficult as I work in the same company as my girlfriend and we normally take lunch together so I had to make my excuses :o ) Looking at it closely the stone really is stunning! It's an absolutely beautiful ring. Thank you so much for all your help with it, and I'll certainly be passing your details on in the future. Now I just have to work out where to hide it for 2 weeks!
