Last Minute Gifts Under $1500
Christmas is just around the corner and lots of people are just beginning to get into the holiday spirit and coming to the conclusion that they need to get started on their shopping… fine jewelry such as solitaire diamond pendants and diamond stud earrings are popular gifts this year, but the majority of diamond earrings which you’ll find in the open market are haphazardly thrown together with no regard for the diamond cut quality, or even if the diamonds are well matched, the only real focus seems to be total carat weight and price… if you happen to be a quality conscious gift giver, the good news is that Brian Gavin Diamonds offers a broad selection of setting styles for diamond stud earrings, and an extensive in-house inventory of diamonds which are cut to exhibit the highest volume of light return and exceptional sparkle!
Brian Gavin’s Diamond Earring Builder:
When searching for a pair of diamond stud earrings, I like to start by choosing a setting style using Brian Gavin’s Diamond Earring Builder, which starts out by presenting me with a selection of the most popular setting styles for diamond stud earrings. I really like the look of this pair of 14k yellow gold, split 4-prong, diamond earrings from Brian Gavin, which are pictured above, so I’m going to select this setting style. To proceed with building a pair of diamond earrings, I’m going to click on the blue button featured on the product details page which reads “Select this Earring and Add Diamonds” to see what options are available as matched pairs of diamonds for earrings.
Since I’m looking to spend around $1500 and want to maximize the size of the diamonds while also wanting the diamonds to face-up “eye clean” and “white” I chose this matched pair of Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds weighing 0.622 carats total weight, which are I-color and SI-1 in clarity.
Both of the diamonds have been graded by the American Gem Society Laboratory with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0, on the Proprietary Light Performance grading platform, which uses Angular Spectrum Evaluation Technology (ASET) to measure the brightness of the diamonds, and provide insight into how the facets of the diamond are reflecting light… which is determined by the level of optical symmetry and the precision of facet shape and alignment.
The diamonds also exhibit a crisp and complete pattern of hearts and arrows, and look phenomenal when viewed through an Ideal Scope, which means that they are going to be visibly brighter, and exhibit more sparkle than the majority of diamonds which are selected for diamond earrings… which means that people are going to see this pair of diamond earrings sparkling from across the room!
The Classic Solitaire Style Diamond Pendant:
Earlier I mentioned that diamond pendants are also a popular gift this year… Putting one together on the Brian Gavin web site is just as easy as building a pair of diamond earrings; simply search our diamond inventory for diamonds within the price range you have designated for this particular gift, which in this case is less than $1500 by adjusting the slider for price range. I decided to go with this 0.435 carat, I-color, VS-2 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature round diamond, and set it in the classic four prong solitaire style pendant pictured to the left, the end result is a stunning diamond pendant which comes in well under my desired price range of $1500.00
Of course, if you have just a little more to spend, you could hop up to this 0.532 carat, I-color, SI-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Signature round diamond, and be just a little over budget… there are so many choices to be had, I know that you’re going to find exactly what you’re looking for! And of course if you need assistance, our customer service team is always ready to lend a helping hand…
