Hi Lesley, The earrings are fantastic. They are amazing and of course the workmanship is outstanding. They are everything I imagined and so much more. Thank you so much for getting them done so fast. I absolutely love them…… there are no words!!!! Jean R.

Jamie, The package arrived safe and sound. Words cannot describe how beautiful the ring is. It's been an hour since I opened the box and can’t stop staring at it!!! The girls in my office are also amazed at the intricate details of the setting. You were right Jamie, I am floored and it was WELL worth the wait I'll keep you guys posted on proposal. Best Regards, Stanley T.

Hi Lesley,  I just picked up the ring from Fedex and it SURPASSES all of my expectations, it is one of the few times I can honestly say that the photos don't do it justice. I love everything about it. It has the perfect amount of flow in the design, the pavee diamonds in the band look amazing, but my favorite feature of it has to be the mount that the main stone is set in. It looks stunning and is so well done. I cannot sufficiently express how happy I am with this ring. The box it came in even looks great! I'll definitely be using it when I propose.  The proposal isn't until August 14th (so 1.5 weeks) and I'm going to have a hard time waiting to give it to her. I have no doubt that she will love it. I'll be sure to email you once she has the ring   I hope that I can keep you in mind when it comes time for wedding bands! Thanks, Neil W.

We received this e-mail from her yesterday which says it all – she was thrilled!!

Dear Gavin Gang, Attached are a couple hand shots of my fabulous ring!!!  Karlon took me to dinner Friday night and gave me an early suprise, and said he would do it all again after 31 years of marriage!!!! Thanks for all your help and patience.  Yes, Brian my diamond is as white as you promised, but more than that the sparkle and fire is just excellent!!!  I told Karlon it is the most beautiful diamond I had ever seen.  The setting is just perfectly simple and elegant with a touch of difference. I was having fun in the car flashing all the prism of colors the diamond was making around inside the car.  Karlon said I better not aim the diamond flashes at oncoming traffic because I might blind them and cause a wreck.  Ha!!! Seriously, I appreciate you all and I highly recommend Brian Gavin Diamonds. Thanks, Dalia

And here is the ring creation process and Dalia’s hand pictures:

Hi Lesley – I picked the package up yesterday. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said regarding the work you do, but I have had high expectations throughout this process, from selecting a stone to completing the setting and you guys have exceeded those expectations. It is reassuring to work with everyone at BG, as I know I'm getting the experience, knowledge, and attention to detail you don't seem to find elsewhere. The ring and eternity band look spectacular. Everything complements each other perfectly. It reflects the look we were trying to achieve. And the setting made me fall in love with the center stone again. We hadn't seen it in a while, and it looked absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much. I'm sure we'll talk again soon, but hopefully not too soon Also wanted to mention that Jamie did a fantastic job. Always accessible, quick to respond, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks again, Ryan M.

Case 1:

Stephen called in from the UK at the end of May wanting to order a Rose Gold Classic 5 Stone U-prong band for his wife’s 40th birthday on June 18.  He gave us a budget and we selected five 0 .40 J VS1 and VS2 Brian Gavin Signature H & A diamonds and sent him the quote breakdown. He trusted our selections since he had heard about us from several other British men who are members of a UK car discussion forum called www.pistonheads.com .  He also wanted to incorporate the birthstones of his 3 children, so we set a "surprise" sapphire, amethyst and emerald inside the shank. We created the ring for him in 14K rose gold to ensure the deep rose gold color and needless to say it was beautiful!  We e-mailed him the Glamor Shots and received this e-mail:

Dear Lesley, The ring looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see it and give it to Rachel. Your photography has very good lighting and shows the ring off beautifully. Thanks for getting it sorted in time for my wife’s birthday. Yours Stephen R.

We shipped it out to him and he received it in time to give it to his wife on her birthday at lunch. He called from his car on the way home raving about the ring and about her reaction!

Case 2:

Sesha called in towards the end of May and spoke with Jamie. She was very upset that she had lost her diamond wedding band and wanted us to work directly with Jewelers Mutual to arrange the replacement. She had been eying our beautiful Classic 5  Stone U-prong band and selected five 0.40 G VS1 and VS2 Brian Gavin Signature H & A diamonds. We submitted the quote to Jewelers Mutual who were very easy to work with, it was approved and we created her beautiful 18K yellow gold and platinum band. She also purchased a pair of our Lever Back huggies in yellow gold.

Good Afternoon Leslie! I picked up my LOVELY, SPARKLY, Brilliant, well crafted diamond band and huggies!!!!!!! Thank you so very much for your patience and kindness and expertise! You and Jamie turned what can be a stressful, losing my mind experience…into a worry free, stress free don't worry about a thing experience. Thank you Leslie and Jamie! The ring and the diamonds are absolutely GORGEOUS!  Here are some for real real hand shots of your Glorious Workmanship! Thank you again!  I appreciate YOU! Sincerely Sesha B.

Feast your eyes:

• Dear Jamie, The rings arrived safe and sound and they are amazing!  I can't believe that I am lucky enough to have my dream rings (and have an amazing guy who understood what this meant to me).  Thanks so much to you, Lesley and Brian.  What a great (and easy) experience it was and I'm hoping to be a longtime customer since I already have my eye on a couple of other pieces for future occasions! Please take care and thank you so much again for making my dream become a reality! Ronda
• Dear Lesley and Brian, the Diamond is stunning. She couldn’t believe the fire that was coming from the diamond. Her eyes were locked on that diamond for the next 2 days (actually, she's sitting next to me right now, still taking pictures, 3 days later). All her focus is literally on the diamond. She is just as stunned by the beauty of the classic tiffany style knife edge setting. No regrets with the decision to go with rose gold. It looks absolutely beautiful and original. She has been getting looks and compliments everywhere we go, including from the staff at Tiffany and Co. We went to compare her diamond to theirs and hers far outshone theirs. She is still in disbelief that she now owns such a perfect diamond. "It’s like a dream" she says. She is on cloud 9 and I don't foresee her coming down anytime soon. This was the diamond I had promised her a year ago and it delivered the full effect I hoped for. Thank you very much for the magnificent job and great customer service you provided for this purchase. You truly made my doubts regarding purchasing a diamond online disappear. A.H.
• Lesley, Thanks again for my beautiful three stone ring!!! I have it on right now. I feel like I am dreaming!!! I like the fact that it is dainty yet very elegant! It is perfect!!!! I have waited 25 years for a diamond ring. I am so glad that Phil found you and your husband to make our "dream ring". I am not one to wear a lot of jewelry. I like simplicity, but classy when I do, so this design was absolutely me!!! The middle diamond is amazing, very brilliant! It will take some getting used to wearing it. I went from a simple gold band to this gorgeous ring! I can't stop looking at my hand!!! I am also still enjoying my hearts and arrows diamond earrings that Phil purchased from you a couple of years ago. I love them too, and never take them off. Thanks again, and have a blessed day!!!! Sandy
• Denise, thank you for all your amazing help, and to all the others at BGD who helped to make this happen.  The 4 Prong Solitaire is Perfect! It's beautiful. What a wonderful surprise to see that you place white gloves alongside the ring so as not to spoil it when I give it to her! I have everything planned, and I will write back with all the details when all is said and done this coming week. She will love it. Thank you for absolutely everything….. I shortened my window from a few months to just a few short days and I was met with excitement from your end, and the ring still arrived within just a couple days as perfect as I could ever hope. The white gloves, the phone calls and dozens of emails, you did everything you could to make this one of the most memorable moments of my and Alyssa's life together and it will always be remembered. We look forward to everything we will do with BGD in the future. Talon
• Hey Jamie! I wanted to write and thank you again for your help with the engagement ring. I proposed to Sabrina at the peak of El Yunque in Puerto Rico and she said yes! She was completely blown away by the ring and she has gotten a ton of compliments on it! If you all are still interested in naming the style after her on the website, feel free to do so. Also, if you'd like some pictures from the engagement I can try to send some. Thanks again. We've set a tentative date of June 11, 2011 for the wedding. I'll be in touch a little closer to time to begin working on the band.  Steve
• Hello Denise, I gave my wife the ring, and she loves it!  It is a beautiful marquise and round ring, the workmanship is fantastic, and the diamond is everything I was hoping for.  I want to thank you again for the effort you put into getting it to us on short notice.  I also want to say thanks for the follow up emails and photos you sent, those were a nice touch. Thank you again for all your help, we look forward to doing business with you again someday. Sincerely, Rick
• Dear Brian, Jamie and Lesley, I picked up my micro pave ring today within a couple hours after it arrived! All I can say is wow! It is so stunning! The amount of fire coming off of that thing in today's bright sunlight was blinding! Thank you so much for making this such an easy process. I will be looking to you again for the wedding band. I especially want to thank Brian and Jamie for working with me and price matching my setting. Without that I wouldn't have been able to purchase this ring! You are a great company to work with and I will spread the word to all my friends! Thank you again, Sam
• Lesley, I picked up the halo engagement ring this morning and am blown away by how stunning it is! The pictures really do not do it justice. I love the millgrain on it and the hidden stones are amazing. I am so happy with the ring. Thank you so much for you help and patience throughout this whole process. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees this ring. It is going to be perfect! Adam
• Dearest Jamie, The 4 prong basket setting earrings are in fact amazing. They catch so much light, they look like the bulbs on a string of Christmas lights. REALLY white and bright. I didn't know earring could look so good. I will recommend Brian Gavin to everyone. We look forward to working with you on my daughter's engagement ring. Have a great weekend, Joy

Here are some beautiful pictures of Jake, whose Mommy received a beautiful Brian Gavin Diamond Key Pendant when he was born and who agreed to do a photo shoot to help us launch our Brian Gavin Blankee. There's also one of Brian's grandson Levi with his Blankee on a recent trip to New York:

** The brand, famously dubbed “My Blankee” by fashion editors and the media grew to fame in no small part because it became an instant favorite amongst Hollywood’s elite. My Blankee continues to rank as a preferred blanket company among Hollywood’s leading celebrities such as Tori Spelling, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie. All fabrics used by My Blankee are hypoallergenic for babies with skin conditions and are becoming increasingly popular with autistic children.

Thanks, Denise!  You're like a diamond guru, an awesome customer service provider and a guidance counselor all wrapped into one!   Stacy F.

The pendant is just gorgeous Lesley – so happy with it! Thank you so much. Katie H.

wow, stunning! this is a keeper a friend of a friend recommended your site- they bought their wedding bands in addition to a custom engagement ring from you. thanks again, Melissa H.

I picked it up this morning and it is lovely! I love it! I hope my GF does too! I hope it fits-I have such anxiety about this!  You guys have been awesome to work with. I definitely want to work with you when I'm ready to reset my diamond into a semi-bezel setting. I just need to save some $ first Thanks also to Jamie-she was so incredibly patient with me and answered the 190754 questions I had with such patience. Wiebke

Brian/Lesley, I just had to thank you both one more time for everything. I proposed to my girlfriend this past weekend and she was absolutely floored when she saw the ring. The words "perfect", "beautiful" and "HUGE" were just a few words that were used quite a bit. We both can't stop staring at it. You've got a customer for life! I know it was the first time that BGD had worked with an oval and it was a complete knock out of the park. Hopefully we'll get to see it on the web site soon! All the Best, Chris

We designed the ring on CAD and then cast and set the band. The result was absolutely magnificent. On receipt of the band, our customer wrote in:

Hi Lesley/Brian,  I wanted to let you know I picked up my beautiful wedding band yesterday and I love it. It is everything I imagined it would be. Brian you did a fantastic job with it. I did think of a name for the ring:
