Brian Gavin Customer from Beijing Proposes With a Magnificent 3 Stone Crossed Trellis Diamond Engagement Ring…
In the middle of November we received a call from Tyler, an American living in Beijing. He had seen pictures of our 3 Stone Crossed Trellis on Pricescope and was excited about working with us to create a platinum diamond engagement ring for his soon to be fiancée. He worked primarily with Jamie and also had the opportunity to speak with Brian Gavin regarding the different diamond choices. He selected a magnificent 1.50 ct Brian Gavin Signature H & A for the center stone and two 0.40 ct side stones.
We received a great e-mail and beautiful pictures of Tyler and Katie today and thought that you would enjoy seeing the handsome couple.
Jamie, Leslie and Brian, I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful ring. I am so glad I went with the signature cuts and the cross-trellis. The H diamond is VERY white and I honestly don't think I could differentiate from a D, even though I am quite color sensitive. I also stared at the center rock through a loupe for a long time and still couldn't see the inclusions (even though it is an SI1). Glad I went with those specs!!
I proposed about 4 weeks ago, flying in early for Christmas and surprising my girlfriend Katie (now fiancee), as we are long distance at the moment. I asked her to marry me during a beautiful sunset on the balcony of her grandmother's old house (her favorite place in the world to visit as a child) high up in the Tustin Hills overlooking all of Orange County and out to Catalina. This was an extra surprise for her considering her grandmother hasn't lived there in 20 years. I managed to track down the address and asked the complete strangers living there if they would mind me using their balcony to propose. Thankfully they ended up being very nice, and everything worked out wonderfully. On the balcony I had some candles lit and 25 red roses (she is 25 years old). I sat her down and handed her a rose for 25 reasons why I love her and want to marry her. I also had a big white rose in the middle of all of them, which had the ring hidden inside. After giving her all of the red roses, I pulled out the ring from the middle of the white rose (it came out beautifully sparkling in the candle light and fading sun!), got down on a knee, and she said yes! I am now officially the luckiest guy in the world.
After the proposal for the entire month I was out there she literally could not stop looking at the ring. She absolutely loves it. In fact, while it may need a small resizing, she is debating whether or not she wants to send it in, as she doesnt want to be without her ring for even a second! She also has received a ton of compliments from family, friends, and even strangers. Thanks again, and I am so glad everything worked out with the Pricescope fiasco. My apologies again for my blunder! I have attached a few engagement photos and photos of the actual proposal (re-enacted). Hope you are all having a wonderful new year! I'll be recommending BGD to any friends looking to buy a quality diamond! Tyler (and Katie)
