sorry guys too much post to read through...
would like to ask anyone try Lavin New York?

Currently looking for engagement ring <6k
Quite poor so only consider lab grown

Zcova 0.5carat IF clarity --- RM4.2k, cheapest 18k ring RM2.2k
Lavin 1.1 carat VS1 clarity -- RM4.0k, cheapest 18k ring RM1.2k
Other specs are same, D, 3ex, both IGI certified

Too bad both of them can see the real diamond before placing order if it's lab grown diamond...


Is IF vs VS1 clarity has significant differences?

Thanks Sifu for your comments!

But bad news, after discussing with ma girl, she want a real diamond and dont mind smaller carat, so new conflict is here

What do you think sifu?
0.43 Carat. F, VVS2, 3ex = RM 4.2k (GIA :2456702765)
0.54 Carat, G, VS1, 3ex = RM 4.9k (GIA :1425225323)

both diamonds are from Lavin, and this is the 0.54 -> https://www.lavinnewyork.com/pages/DiamondD...9a200163e0001bb

I can see some dots (crystals?) at the bottom from the enlarged 360 picture, is that bad?
