It looks too long and skinny to me. The table is big and the crown is low. Part of the girdle is very thin (thin, medium, or slightly thick are okay). Symmetry is only good. I would eliminate this one, personally.

This one may not be the best you can find, but it shows you a better proportioned stone with a smaller table and better crown, and excellent/vg for polish and symmetry.

I prefer more like 7x9mm. This one is still longer than I like for the width. But it is a little better than the other one. Table size and crown look better. Girdle is better. Symmetry is still only good and we usually recommend very good or excellent for polish and symmetry. I'd expand the search to F color at least to give you more options. Still colorless range.

I hate that it is D VVS1 because I usually do not like to pay for that color/clarity combination as E or F VS1 would be virtually the same in appearance, but it is a beautiful stone. The only negative that I see is the thick girdle which means it is hiding some weight there rather than increased spread. But I believe it is the best of the 3. It would help if we could see ASET images, but this one looks best to me with what info we have.

This would also be my choice. Very bright stone (good light return), pleasant bow-tie area and nice shape. When the stone
was spinning and it turned to face me, my initial reaction was wow!

(I also hate paying for D/VVS1 but with fancy cuts you have to find a pretty stone then go with the specs on it). My pear is a D and
I did not "need" a D...it just so happens that when we found a lovely pear that's what it happen to be.

My second choice would be the 1.7...the 3rd stone isnt doing much for me (in other words, it's ok).
