1.5 Carat Round Lab Grown Diamond D VVS1 vs Valani 1.5 ct Round Lab Grown Diamond

Both are 1.5 carat round lab grown diamonds in D color with IGI reports and Excellent cut, polish and symmetry. The real difference is clarity: the Grown Leo stone is VVS1, one grade above the Valani's VVS2, and both are eye-clean, so the gap shows only under a loupe. Buy the Grown Leo if you want the top clarity grade on paper; buy the Valani if its cut proportions and report check out, since a well-cut VVS2 looks the same to the eye.

• Choose the Grown Leo 1.5 ct D VVS1 if you want the highest clarity grade in this size and color and are willing to pay for rarity you cannot see.
• Choose the Valani 1.5 ct D VVS2 if its IGI report shows strong proportions and you would rather put the difference into the setting.
