Choosing between oval diamonds!

[Bradical]

Hello everyone, first post here!

I've been on the hunt and prowling the forums for the last few months and finally decided to post my question.

It's certainly an overwhelming endeavor to find the ideal diamond. I'm looking for an oval with the following characteristics and this is what I've narrowed it down to;

Carat - 1+
Cut - Very good
Clarity - VS2
Colour - I
Symmetry - Excellent or very good
Type - Lab grown (preferably)
Budget - 4,500

Here are the two I've found best match the above; keep in mind that she is willing to give up some clarity/colour grade for size

We can't discuss lab grown diamonds on this part of the forum. Click "report concern" and ask the moderators to move this to the "lab grown diamonds" section. You will hopefully get some good feedback there!

Apologies, I had no idea! Will do.
