I liked the natural diamond more than the first lab grown, but that second one they found?! The slight difference in the corners is somehow what does it for me.
Both are beautiful, but while I would chose the lab in a heartbeat, somehow despite it being visually appealing and checking all the boxes, I'm just not sure it is the stone for you, especially if they can get traps that match the natural in color.
Saving money is always appealing, but if that is the *only* reason you would choose the lab over the natural, ultimately I worry there will always be a twinge of regret when you look at your ring. Yes, it will be yellow-ish sometimes, but well matched side stones will help minimize that.
Would you ever be able to love and enjoy your ring without the origin casting a shadow, if visually it is all you ever wanted by going with the lab? (For me, yes, because I care about what my eyes see, but something to consider before your final decision!)
