2 ct Brian Gavin Signature Round vs Brian Gavin Signature Cushion

After conducting an extensive amount of research online to learn as much as possible about diamonds, I’ve concluded that Brian Gavin is the vendor that I want to do business with. My girlfriend has indicated that she prefers a round brilliant or cushion cut diamond, and has left it up to me to surprise her with whichever diamond shape I choose, set in a platinum halo style engagement ring. We’ve looked at a lot of diamonds over the past few months, and have determined that our preference for clarity is VS-1 combined with G-color and maybe a little fluorescence. We got to see some blue fluorescent diamonds under a black light and we both think it looks pretty cool! Thanks for the help! – Stephen P.

The Consistent Look of Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds:

One of the benefits of buying a Brian Gavin Signature diamond is that they are designed to exhibit the highest volume of light return and a virtual balance of brilliance (white sparkle) and dispersion (colored sparkle) in the form of nice, broad flashes of light which people are apt to notice from across the room!

Regardless of whether you prefer the shape of a Brian Gavin Signature round diamond, or that of a Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond, the visual appeal of the diamonds are virtually identical in terms of light performance and sparkle factor! Thus you don’t have to sacrifice visual performance to get the diamond shape which you prefer.

brian-gavin-blue-fluorescent-diamond-reviews-agsl-104062571037I looked through our inventory and found two options for you to consider, this 2.043 carat, G-color, VS-1 clarity, Brian Gavin round ideal cut diamond which exhibits strong blue fluorescence which is pictured above as seen under black light, and this 2.065 carat, G-color, VS-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond. Regardless of which diamond that you choose, you have the confidence of knowing that they have both received an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 from the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL) on their Proprietary Light Performance based grading platform, which incorporates Angular Spectrum Evaluation Technology (ASET) to measure the diamonds for brightness and provides insight into how the diamond is making use of the light which is available to it within the room, and shows how consistently light travels through the diamond.

So you’ve got two diamonds which are two carats each, and both are G color, and VS-1 clarity, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 for Light Performance, Polish and Symmetry. The primary difference between the two diamonds is shape, and the round exhibits strong blue fluorescence.

The difference in shape would clearly be visible if you were comparing the two diamonds side-by-side, but all you’re going to see from across the room is the incredible sparkle and spectacular volume of light return… I don’t see how you could go wrong selecting either one, and therefore recommend buying whichever diamond shape you think your girlfriend is going to find most appealing. We offer a broad selection of halo style engagement rings and can custom design a setting to accommodate either shape.
