IGI Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring vs IGI Lab-Grown Oval Diamond Solitaire Ring

Both are IGI-certified lab-grown diamond solitaires, so the real choice is shape and grading versus range. The round brilliant in A is the safer classic and comes in more metals and sizes, from 0.25 to 3.00 ct, including silver and platinum. B fixes the stone at D color and VVS clarity and uses an oval cut that faces up larger per carat, but it tops out at 2.00 ct and skips 10K and 14K gold. Buy A for a round stone and the widest choice; buy B if you want an oval with top color and clarity grades.

• Choose the round solitaire if you want a classic brilliant cut, a stone up to 3.00 ct, and the widest metal choice including silver and platinum.
• Choose the oval solitaire if you prefer an oval that looks larger per carat and want a guaranteed D color, VVS clarity stone.
