Ask for opinion on two diamonds

[casforain]

I am looking for an oval cut diamond for my wife. I have narrowed down to two diamonds and I wonder if experts in this forum to help look at those and share your honest opinion.

Bow tie is my primary concern.

Budget Choice:
2.05ct - H - VS2
I think the bow tie effect is somewhat obvious. What do you think?

Luxury Choice:
2.06ct - D - VS2
I cannot see obvious bow tie on this one. However, there is cloud in the middle. Since this is VS2, I guess the cloud will not be visible by human eyes? I am not sure if the cloud matters.

Thanks so much for your help!

@casforain I'm not an oval expert, but of the two, I like the D. Hopefully others will chime in

In regards to light return and fire, I think the D VS2 is superior.

Put it on hold ASAP! We have lurkers that will snake stones.

I love the third one on her list, and the "oddball" one haha.

What.......Thanks for the advice.

I think i like it because it looks like a moval, which I am oddly drawn to. But obviously it's not a "classic". If only it were 1/10th the price I would buy it haha

The Oddball looks like a Moval, it's very pretty.

 

[casforain]

Hahaha. Thanks to all of your advices. I am now looking at two totally pieces of diamonds.
