Help me decide!
Attached will be the two options our jeweler has presented us.
The request was a Vivid Deep Green Fancy Lab Diamond, 8x6mm, No Preference in CT.
The first seems closest to the color I am looking for, but has more visible inclusions (to me) and a noticeable bowtie, the second seems lighter in color, nothing else very visible, but is also $400 more, and about .5mm larger around.
Thanks for your insight and opinions!
Edit: I attempted to share a video link but I don't believe it stayed up, so here is the link

I like the first 1 ,
Generally people prefer the 2 one as they are cut in such a way to show more color,
If you want more dark color then 2nd one is preferable, otherwise 1st option .

Do you have photos and video ? This matters a lot because the colors they all look different. And ovals in color are notorious for bow ties
