Long time lurker, first time poster so thanks in advance. Looking at ovals around 1.3 ct for an engagement ring. I had been doing a lot of research and 2 on James Allen have caught my eye.

My main concerns are that oval #1 has what looks like white specks on/in it. Does the diamond just need to be cleaned up? For #2, is the diamond too shallow? The 58% is less than ideal. Also I am not sure if this matters but it seems like from the 360 picture on JA, the center seems to reflect "non-symmetrically." Any input you guys have is much appreciated
