Hello, could you give me an opinion on these two diamonds?
Both seem to have nice cuts. The main differences are clarity (the BG is nicer) and color is nicer on the James Allen stone.
Cloudy or milky color is a big no-no for me.

I wouldn’t recommend this diamond. Strong fluorescence might make it look hazy. Also, there’s no information about cut, you’d need to request the GIA certificate (JA took them off their website).

This diamond has absolutely fantastic specs. It’ll make a beautiful ring. May I ask what style setting you are going to put it into?
It’s going into a 14k white gold setting. No side stones, 3.3mm wide band.
In that case, that diamond is the way to go. It’s going to look stunning in a solitaire setting. Good job!
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
