A Legacy Forged in Fire and Light
Brian Gavin’s diamond heritage stretches back five generations to his family’s workshop in South Africa. Nicknamed “Brian the Cutter,” he was one of the first in the U.S. to embrace and perfect the Hearts and Arrows cutting style, originally developed in Japan but later refined by Gavin to meet much stricter optical symmetry and performance standards.
In 1998, he created the “A Cut Above®” brand. By 2009, he launched Brian Gavin Diamonds with the industry-defining Signature Hearts and Arrows line. Every diamond in this collection is cut to exacting AGS Ideal 0 specifications and visually optimized to reveal perfect hearts and arrows under a Herats and arrows Scope.
