#2 has my vote if it is eye-clean. Else #1, also on the condition that it is eye-clean.

 

[D&T]

yep #2 gets my vote too

Another vote for #2 if eye clean.

Thanks guys. I leaning on #2 too but how do I know if it''s eye clean. And if you notice on the picture, lab report, and IS you''ll see the crystal/cloud in the center of the stone. Should I be concern with that?

The only way to know is to ask the vendor to inspect the diamond for you, and for you to make sure they understand your personal definition of eyeclean. For example if you don't want to see any visible inclusions from any angle or distance, make sure you tell them that so they understand your expectations.

Don't try to judge any diamond for " eyecleanliness' by using images or the plotting diagram on the report, these are not a reliable method of deciding whether any diamond is eyeclean or not.
