I would like to spend around 8k. Im wondering if I should drop a clarity grade to SI2 or maybe a color grade to "I". What do you guys think about these diamonds? Any input is appreciated!

You can cross out the two Blue Nile stones both are cut too deep.

If you run them through HCA you will find I don't like the cut of any of them.
First would be eye clean from more than 12 inches 30cm
Second eye clean but a possible breakage risk
Third eye clean from about 10 inches

I would suggest 2nd option ...

I also agree that feathers are too much in it but nothg like Indented Natural or Cavity which is on the surface of the stone ... while setting the stone need to tell the setter to be little careful and not pressure on the girdle part where the inclusions are ...

Its beautiful eye clean pcs and you can also offer your price to the vendor.. i am still ok to pay this price for this quality ...

Also understand that you will never get a perfect pcs with all parameters ticked which you want in your price range ..

Thanks everyone for your responses. These are my preferences:

-1.4-1.6 carat round cut
-open to SI2 provided it can be eye clean/inclusions can be hidden with prongs
-faces up white--what I understand is everything down to an "I" color should meet this criteria. -Budget can be stretched up to 10k if needed
-setting will probably be two tone white+yellow gold with side stones that are graded G in color.
