This 1.012 Carat L VS1 Brian Gavin Blue Diamond can make your 1 carat wish come true. First of all, I will consider this a high precision cut diamond despite that no H&A image is provided. This is because Brian Gavin Diamonds is famous for its H&A and the cut quality should be applicable across all their in-house diamonds. Of course, you can still say that no image means no proof, well, that's good news, at least you know what you want. But for me, I think I am fine with the stone as long as it is from Brian Gavin Diamonds.
So, what's so good about this stone?
Apart from being a VS1 stone, which guarantees eye-cleanliness, the calculated weight of this stone is 1.011ct. As the difference between the actual weight and the calculated weight is pretty minimal, I would say that this stone is cut to maximize its beauty. Next, its ASET images shows that there is no weaker light return whatsoever and the IdealScope image shows that the light return is very strong. We can be picky and penalize on the slight leakage at the 5 o'clock position of the IdealScope but that is really about it. Now, the 76% lower girdle facet will guarantee that this diamond will return bold sparks!
Next, the pairing between the wide table (56.9%) and the diamond height (61.2%) looks good to me. This is because I have observed that a lot of H&A diamonds that have a wide table will tend to have a shorter diamond total depth.
We now move on to the colour of this diamond. Despite it is an L colour diamond, the presence of the medium blue fluorescence will probably help this darling to look whiter by complementing its L colour yellowness. Because of the colour, I would say that this diamond is pretty unique as I don't think that there are many high precision cut diamonds that come with this colour. To me, it is really a selling point as it makes one stand out from the norm. How often do you hear your friends or family saying that "Oh, this is an L colour diamond?" Also, it looks kind of cool just to tell people around that "I am wearing an L colour high precision cut diamond that has blue fluorescence." Cool right? Or it is just me? :p
Of course, the best part is the price. With such colour and fluorescence drilling down the price, it is absolutely a value buy for those who appreciate such "uniqueness". No pun intended, I am actually serious. To add on, with April being the Diamond Month, Brian Gavin Diamonds is running a promotion of 10% discount (including 3% wire discount), further dropping the diamond's price.
Using USD 4182.00 as base, which is the price without the 3% wire discount, let's apply a 10% discount to it. This will make the price of this diamond to be USD 3763.80. As Brian Gavin Diamonds does not provide free shipping, therefore, please add another USD 55 for shipping. This will make the price to be USD 3818.80. Using MoneyMatch's estimated exchange rate of 3.9, the price for this diamond in terms of RM will be RM 14893.32. Add on 6% GST, and the price becomes RM 15786.92. Now, add on RM 100 for misc. charges (I have used RM 100 to provide more buffer. In reality, it should be lesser), and the price becomes RM 15886.92.
For ring setting, if you engaged Memory Jewellery at Sentul, the price should be from RM 1000 for standard designs while between RM 1000 - RM 1500 for custom design. Yes, I have checked with them before and apparently the price does not increase with size. At least not for 1 carat diamond. So, assuming this diamond is mounted onto a simple 6 prongs custom design solitaire with rose gold in order to complement the diamond's yellowish tint, the final price will be RM 17386.92.
Not too bad, right?
