Hi
I am a little stuck between these 2 oval diamonds and was wondering if you have an opinion please? I like that the 1.01 seems super sparkly and I like that the 1.07 faces up larger.

Both diamonds are no longer available. Did you purchase one of them or put it on hold?
I have them on hold. Though now I am not sure about either.
I would like an oval diamond D-F, VS2+, 1-1.25 carat (ideally 8mm+ length), 1.35-1.5 ratio, none-faint fluorescence. Does this sound possible?
Since you’ve put them on hold, I can’t access the GIA report to see their specs. As far as I can say, the 1.01ct has prominent black windowing on the sides and the 1.07ct one has a very strong bow-tie.
I found these that looked great to me:

I have decided to go ahead with a diamond I found yesterday.
I am so sorry for wasting your time!
No worries. If you still need a second pair of eyes to look at the diamond you went with, I’m happy to give you my opinion.
How kind of you! I was so worried, when I saw you’d already emailed me, that you’d be cursing me. I think this is the one I’m going with www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/1.00-carat-e-color-vs2-clarity-sku-9243328?a_aid=dmnd1357. It would be great to know what you think.
That one was an excellent option, it checks all the boxes. You got yourself a beautiful diamond.
Thank you so much for your input, it was much appreciated!
Glad I could help.
