Hi all, I am a first-time diamond shopper looking for one for the engagement ring (although I did bought a very small pendant recently but this time is much more serious). I wanted something unique for my love so the cushion cut moved up in priority over round brilliant although the spread and fire usually take a hit in cushions when compared to rounds.
I've had my eyes on these 3 CAC stones, they are beautiful and elegant. I'd like some advice/suggestions/thoughts on which one I should get. I think I have researched enough on the basics but I still am not 100% sure because I am not in the US and I can only get details online about these stones. I understand that ASET cannot be the determining tool but that's the only better tool I can rely on.
I also did comparisons of dimensions on www.diamdb.com just to get an estimation of what they look like on finger.
*My pros & cons are based on my beginner level knowledge, I humbly seek your corrections and advice.
A) 1.055ct G VS1
6.35x5.59x3.72
My initial choice -
Pros: The most "cleanest" on cert among the 3
Cons: Largest cutlet and slightly more "white areas" on ASET among the 3

B) 1.058ct G VS2 AGS
6.12x6x4
Pros: AGS000, smallest cutlet, better ASET image than A (?), a square shape makes it look larger than A
Cons: Table has 5 clouds and 3 needles which I don't think will show much to the eye? But that's not "mind-clean" when compared to A

C) 1.01ct F VS1
6.29x5.73x3.87
Pros: F color, a more squarish look than A which makes it look larger although by very little
Cons: Although it is VS1, it has natural and indented naturals on the girdles, it's not "mind-clean" and a but bothering on the cert

I wish I could go up $1k-2k more on budget but I'd rather save that for our future new home. What do you guys think? I think B) is cute with its square shape while A) is elegant slight rectangular. Those clouds on B are bothering me (probably eye-clean? How could I tell online?) so I chose A) over it.
I could really use some advice and understand what you guys prefer although it's a really a thing of personal preference. My GF is very slim, wears a size 6 ring. I am having a hard time deciding which shape to go for (A or B).
HELP! And THANKS!!
