Help choose between JA diamonds

[rwvault15]

Here are a couple choices I''m looking at from James Allen. Any thoughts on which might be the best choice, or help narrow it down more would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any way to know if these are in-house? I''m guessing they are since they all have pictures, but I could be wrong.

I know next to nothing about princess cuts, except what my eye tells me. But I liked the 4th stone the least. My first response to the 3rd stone was that I did not like it, but then when I looked at it a few seconds longer, I found the cut interesting. I think overall I preferred the stones in the order that you listed them. What stone are you leaning towards?

I think I was leaning towards the first one as well. I had originally not looked at F color and just stayed in the G-H range to get the best value, but that is no more than some G SI1''s. When looking at the pictures, what should I be looking for? It was also the defined "X" in the center of the diamond that caught my eye.

the F SI1 looks pretty good. they should be able to take an IS picture for you.

1 and 2 are the best of the 4.
Get is images for both and ask if the si is eyeclean.

I have an IS image for the F SI1 (#1) coming from James Allen at some point today. I will definitely post it as soon as I get it...if I can figure out how.
