In May we received an e-mail from a customer in Singapore asking for assistance with the purchase of a Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows diamond. We covered  some of the questions he had on Live Chat and he ended up deciding to buy the diamond only and have it set in Singapore.

When he received the package he wrote in:

Hi Lesley, Just to let u know, I've received the diamond in great timing!! Thank you so much!! =) It looks FABULOUS to me!! But… i can't say i know how to tell a good diamond from another just by visual inspection… nor do i have a whole stash of diamonds to compare with! So, i'll be taking it to a trained eye for assessment & will let u know how it goes from there! I'm quite sure it'll turn out ok, probably just a matter of how much above expectations it is! Will let u know soon.

We then heard this from him:

Hi Lesley, i've proposed! Everything went well Thank you so much for all ur time & effort in helping me make the decision to go with Brian Gavin. she really loved the diamond! we haven't taken any photos of the diamond on her finger yet, but if/when we do, i'll send it over to you!

Last week we received the proposal pictures below:

Please find attached the photos as promised. Thank you once again for making this proposal such a special one! N.T.

In December we blogged about Wayne’s purchase of a beautiful Brian Gavin Signature H & A diamond and a modified Melissa setting with a knife edge here.

Following the proposal in South Africa, we received beautiful pictures and the following excerpt:

Well, I proposed to Emma on the beach at sunset just outside Hermanus on the South East coast of South Africa on 27 December. It was a well planned but nervously executed proposal involving many members of my family. It will go down as a moment to remember for us all. The setting is just perfect. A seemingly low setting without sacrificing the prominence of the single stone. In all Emma is thrilled and continues to draw comments daily here in Shanghai. It really is a standout, without being ostentatious!

Hi Lesley, i've recieved the pendant. Really loved it and the length of the chain is just right…..my friends say it looks very sparkly….Thanks a lot………Sherine

A few weeks ago we featured a custom diamond cross here. On receiving the cross, our customer wore it to work and her coworkers were blown away by the beauty of the craftsmanship and in particular, the brilliance and performance of the Brian Gavin Signature diamond melee (.10 ct F/G VS). One of them contacted us to order an 18K white gold custom made diamond heart pendant  using 16 x .065 ct F/G VS Brian Gavin Signature melee (2.6mm) attached to an 18" fine cable chain. We created the heart using CAD, e-mailed the CAD rendering to the customer for approval and then cast, set and finished the beautiful pendant.
