Family history
Brian is the son of Ben Gavin (1929-2009), a major diamond cutter, and Femma Gavin, a famous South African artist featured in the Smithsonian Library Collection (1935-2006).

In the late 1930s, Deutz was taken to South Africa to teach cut diamonds along with his sister-in-law, Solly Neuwit, at Majestic Diamond Cutting Works in Johannesburg. In the early 1950s, Majestic became observer DeBeers and continues to grow into the 1980s.
