Cushion Cut Bezel Set Diamond Solitaire Pendant

Last Minute Gifts Under $3000

Yesterday I shared some great gift ideas for Last Minute Gifts Under $1500 and today we’re going expand our holiday horizons by raising the budget to around $3000 to see what kind of great last minute jewelry gifts are available from Brian Gavin Diamonds.

As stated in my last article, solitaire style diamond pendants and diamond stud earrings are HOT, HOT, HOT, this year and this 18k white gold, bezel set, Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut pendant is no exception! The base price for the pendant is $375.00 which means that I have plenty of money to spend on the diamond.

When I first searched for a Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond, I selected this 0.714 carat, I-color, SI-1 clarity diamond which is selling for $2,666 but when I clicked on the link to the diamond details page, a pop-up box appeared which informed me that Brian Gavin is currently running a special on VVS clarity cushion cut diamonds, and indicated that I could buy this 0.742 carat, J-color, VVS-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond for only $1,996.00 by entering the coupon code “VVSCD10” at checkout! The diamond is regularly priced at $2,218.00 (cash / wire transfer price)

From my perspective, I get a slightly larger diamond, several grades higher in clarity, and only one color grade lower, and get to spend the money which I save on other gifts… fantastic!

Diamond Stud Earrings Under $3000

3 Prong Style Martini SettingsThese 3 Prong Martini Style settings for diamond stud earrings are one of my favorite styles because they are designed to nestle nice and low into the earlobe and women just seem to love them! And they’re only $225.00 in 14k white gold, the next step is to click on the blue button labeled “Select this Earring and Add Diamonds” or if you wanted to start by selecting the diamonds first, you could begin by using the Matched Pair of Diamonds search tool, and fine tuning the search results by adjusting the price range to fit your desired budget, which in this case is around $3,000.00 and at this point I discovered that there were pages and pages of matched pairs of diamonds available.

For this gift, I really want to maximize the carat weight of the diamond earrings, while maintaining a bright, white appearance that is “eye clean” and full of sparkle… so I’m going to further narrow down the field of possibilities by making sure that only the boxes for Brian Gavin Signature and Brian Gavin Blue diamonds with blue fluorescence are checked, and I’m going to adjust the range for carat weight so that the smallest carat weight being considered is 0.80 carats total weight. I’ve left the range for clarity and color wide open, just because I want to see all of the options which are available, this presented me with seven pages of options, I skipped forward to page 7 and worked my way backwards, here are the pairs of diamonds which I find most interesting:

(2) Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds weighing 0.879 carats total weight, VS-2 clarity, H-color, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 and exhibiting a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows, for only $2,243.00 for payment via cash / wire transfer.

(2) Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds weighing 0.892 carats total weight, SI-1 clarity, F-color, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 and exhibiting a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows, for only $2,268.00 for payment via cash / wire transfer.

Now if you can afford to push the budget by just a little bit, this pair of (2) Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds weighing 1.073 carats total weight, SI-1 clarity, I-color, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0 and exhibiting a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows, is selling for only $2,759.00 for payment via cash / wire transfer, and it gets you up over the “one carat total weight” category for diamond stud earrings.

Obviously there are many more pairs of diamonds earrings and setting to choose from, be sure to contact us if you’d like assistance in selecting a solitaire style diamond pendant or a pair of diamond earrings which is perfect for your personal preferences and price range!
