Hello from Sydney, Australia!
I'm currently looking for an oval diamond to finally buy an engagement ring. My prospective fiance has expressed that she would like an oval diamond and having visited a couple of shops together, our ideal diamond would have the following specs:
Carat 1.1 to 1.3
Colour H or better
Clarity VS2 or better
Length/Width 1.3-1.5
My budget is limited to under $9,000 AUD ($6,000 USD), including duty should I purchase internationally.
Searches on James Allen and Blue Nile have yielded a few stones that meet the above criteria:

https://www.bluenile.com/au/diamond-details/LD11238850
And a local option:
https://www.gsdiamonds.com.au/diamonds/product/ 2191629712/none
I'd love to get your expert opinions on the selections above or if you'd be able to recommend other stones that meet the criteria or represent a better value option. Fairly new to the game so I'm open to any and all suggestions and advice.
Cheers in advance,
