We cant evaluate Princess cuts by the numbers. We need up close pictures, up close videos and aset images to check on the light
return. You are very high in the clarity/color range. You could probably drop each a level and still have a very white stone with
no visible inclusions if you want to save some money (or go bigger carat wise).

Thank you. I've posted a new thread with links to my choices to decide from

How well a diamond performs with light depends little on color and clarity, but mostly on cut.

GIA, while reputable on color and clarity grades, does not grade cut of princesses.
AGS does, and is arguably just as reputable on everything else they grade.

I'd shop for a princess that AGS graded to have the best cut, AGS 0.
That, or get a branded princess, like the Whiteflash ACA, or the Solasfera from Goodoldgold ... though I think those all have AGS grading and got the best AGS 0 grade for cut.

Princess cuts have too many rows of pavilion facets to use any tool like the HCA or even an Idealscope.
ASET pics are better, but even better is an ASET video of it being rocked slowly at least 10 degrees
The wider range over which it keeps a desireable combination of the 3 colors the better.

... again, I'd only consider those graded by AGS and got their top cut grade of AGS 0.

Thank you and I will certainly look into the certifications you mentioned. Just when I thought I narrowed my search, lol.

In the meantime could someone provide their opinion on the diamonds I listed here
