Don't forget the EGL stone may have softer colour grading than the GIA stones.

Ideally you want pictures, ASETscope images, and also videos of them in motion - it's all very well have massive size and/or high colour, but if the actual cut doesn't work and it is leaky as hell, it just won't perform.

the 0.95 its beautiful in lighting just not convinced about the size, its a grace stone and there is 2k price difference between the 0.95 ct and the 0.87 .
I like the cut/ shape of the 0.87 but the egl report no so much
the 1.58 Pear it performs wells and its a diamond by lauren stone. David says its performs well in lighting and we can pull either more color or make it whiter.

You should ask the mods to move your thread to Rocky Talky. You will get more responses.

There is so much more to a pear than its specs. We really need to see pictures to advice.

Edit...I would try to get a picture of the M colored stone on a white background. That way you
can decide if its white enough for you or, if you might want to play up the color some.
