Brian Gavin Advance Selection Diamonds Unveiled
“Could you do me a favor and tell me more about Brian Gavin Advance Selection Diamonds, because the press release referenced is a bit vague for my tastes, especially since the 2.017 carat, H-color, SI-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature Round advance selection diamond that I am considering is almost $27k, I’d like to know a bit more about what I can expect if I pre-order this diamond from the factory. I understand that it will take about 10 days for me to receive the diamond from the date of order, but given that the diamond is an SI-1 in clarity, and that the proportions of the diamond are not indicated on the diamond grading report, I feel like I’m buying a diamond blind via the internet. How can I be assured that the diamond will be the quality ordered?”
There is Magic to be Found in the Art in Consistency:
The reason why people LOVE Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds is because they consistently provide the highest volume of light return and a virtual balance of brilliance and dispersion, with flashes of light (sparkle) that are bold, bright, vivid, and beautiful; and the only reason we are able to offer our clients this type of consistency is because every Brian Gavin Signature Diamond is produced using the same formula for optimizing the volume of light return and maximizing the sparkle factor.
This is not to say that Brian Gavin Signature Diamonds are stamped out on a production line, that kind of production is not possible with items like diamonds, which are produced from naturally occurring diamond crystals, each of which is unique in its own way, with clarity characteristics that are not identical in any two diamonds… but our production strategy is the same with every diamond, much the same way that every Jelly Belly jelly bean used to create this rendition of Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh that we found on Pinterest, is unique in size and shape, the brand offers a consistency of flavor, consistency, and overall satisfaction.
The Brian Gavin Formula for Maximum Visual Performance:
The magic formula for producing Brian Gavin Signature diamonds that deliver a consistent volume of light return and the maximum amount of sparkle is simple… Cut every diamond so that the upper and lower sections of the diamond balance each other, in other words the crown angle and crown height measurements must compliment each other, as well as the pavilion angle and pavilion depth measurements, so that the maximum volume of light return is achieved; and then the crown and pavilion angles must be the correct offset for each other so that the two surfaces that comprise the primary “mirrors” for the diamond, reflect the highest amount of light back up through the top of the diamond.
And then every facet that is polished on to the diamond after it is bruted, is carefully aligned to all of the other facets, not only as they line up with each other side-by-side, or how the points of the facets align with each other (which is the meet-point symmetry grade that appears on diamond grading reports as symmetry) but also as they align to each other from the perspective of 360 degrees.
And of course, every facet, in every section, has to be crafted with the highest degree of precision and consistency, in order for a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows to be formed. Any variance in the size and shape of the facets, such as a slight variance in the length, or the width, or the indexing of the facets, will reveal itself when the diamond viewed while unmounted through a Hearts & Arrows diamond viewer. Take a look at the images provided for our Brian Gavin Signature Round Hearts & Arrows Diamonds and you’ll see that our diamonds exhibit the highest degree of optical symmetry, because every one of them exhibits a pattern of hearts and arrows that is crisp and complete.
Brian Gavin Signature vs Brian Gavin Advance Selection Diamonds:
The only difference between the Brian Gavin Signature diamonds that are listed in our inventory for immediate delivery, and those that are listed as being available for pre-order from the factory via our Advance Selection program, is that the diamonds that the BGD Signature diamonds are sitting in our vault, ready to be shipped out immediately; the diamonds referenced as “Advance – Ideal” are rolling down the production line in Antwerp, Belgium, waiting to be completed; at which point, they will be shipped to the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL) to be graded, and then shipped to our office in Houston, Texas, where they will be processed for inventory.
When you buy a diamond from the Brian Gavin Advance Selection list of diamonds that are in-production, we bump that diamond to the front of the production line, and finish it to the standards set forth for all Brian Gavin Signature diamonds.
The proportions of the diamond will always be within the range of proportions designated for the Brian Gavin Signature diamond classification, and we guarantee that the diamond will have an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0; plus the clarity and color grade of the diamond will be the quality stated on the diamond details page; and you can return the diamond to Brian Gavin if you don’t absolutely love it!
