Is this diamond eye-clean?
Also, could we found something similar in lab created diamond?
Thanks.

This diamond is definitely not eye-clean, the black crystal would be very noticeable in person.
I’m happy to find some better options for you, can you just tell me what style setting you want to put the diamond into? I want to make sure I recommend the right color grade for it.
Good to know! I’m a big fan of all the info we can find on your internet site.
I would like to pair the diamond with a halo in yellow gold.

Something like this would look gorgeous in a YG halo.
Or here’s a lab diamond in the same price range:

James Allen uses F/G melee diamonds in their settings so you need to go a bit higher in color to ensure the colorless impression of the center stone.
Good start!
Do we need to stay with the ideal cut?
Does it make a big difference if I downgrade to very good cut?
Can we find something smaller (less expensive) in lab diamond?
Yes, for a round brilliant, EX/ID cut is an absolute must. It’s what makes the diamond beautiful and brilliant: https://www.diamonds.pro/education/cuts/.
Here’s a less expensive lab diamond:

Any recommendation for lab diamond around $1,500?
Here’s a new lab-created option:

Price is perfect.
It is going to be this one.
Thank you!
I’m glad you like it, it’s a gorgeous stone.
