Comparing two similar GCAL 8X Oval diamonds - thoughts?

[keenhome4291]

Hello,

I'm deciding between two very similar GCAL 8x Oval diamonds:

1. Option 1 (2.03ct D VVS2): https://www.gcalusa.com/certificate-search.html?certificate_id=341850163
2. Option 2 (2.05ct D VVS2): https://www.gcalusa.com/certificate-search.html?certificate_id=341850168

The specs are nearly identical, with Option 1 having a 61.3% depth and Option 2 having a 61.5% depth. I noticed two main differences:

1. In the bottom view images, Option 2 seems to have a darker shade in the bow tie area.
2. The shades in some of the other images look different between the two diamonds.

I'm not sure if these differences are due to actual variations in the diamonds or just image quality/lighting differences in the GCAL reports.

Based on these observations and the GCAL reports, which diamond do you think is the better choice? Any insights would be appreciated.

Thank you!

These stones are so similar its difficult to tell them apart. Unless you pick a stone with a different faceting pattern
there's not much to comment on. Side-by-side comparisons may help show some differences but without that really
hard to say. Concerning comment 1...this view is not used to evaluate an oval and without more details on comment
2 ....again, nothing to say.

You've already eliminated a lot of not so great ovals by picking 8X stones. Good luck!
