Hello all,
Currently looking at two lab-grown diamonds in the 2-carat range with as close to ideal cut as possible. Have narrowed it down to the following two D color VVS1 diamonds, one with a gcal 8x report, and the other listed on the Whiteflash Precision lab grown line.
1)
www.gcalusa.com
Pros: gcal 8x
Cons: questionable central symmetry and light leakage on the optical brilliance and symmetry pictures?
2)
www.whiteflash.com
Pros: ASET looks clean/great (?)
Cons: VVS1 but has inclusions on the table
One has ASET and the other has gcal images, so it's difficult to compare. Appreciate any words of wisdom to help me discern as I am a novice. Thanks!
