Please Help with Round Brilliant Choice. Are They Shallow for A Ring?

[wheatbread]

I am ready to pull the trigger to buy a lab grown diamond for the engagement ring, and I am debating between two. Please help me to choose.

Diamond#1

Table 56.5 Crown 34.5 Pavilion 40.6 Depth 61.4

Measurement 8.01 x 7.96 x 4.90

HCA Score 0.8 (Light return, fire, scintillation: Excellent, Spread: very good)

Diamond #2

1.95 ct. F color, Ideal, VS1

Table 57 Crown 34 Pavilion 40.8 Depth 61.2

Diamond #2 is about $400 more expensive than #1. Both seem like a good deal.

My priority is the cut (both are ideal.)

Any inputs are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Welcome to PriceScope, wheatbread!
Nope, not too shallow at all. 61-62.5 depth is usually the recommended range for an MRB.
I like the proportions and angles of the 1st one better.
Both look to be CVD, correct?

Here's a great resource about proportions. Feel free to ask any and all questions that you think of!

Diamond Proportions

The physics of light-behavior within a diamond are reliably consistent, which means proportions measurements can be useful.

Thank you so much for your input. Both are CVD.

I like the first one better from the video. It also looks like it might have fewer striation lines.
