Buying an oval this week. Please help me decide :)

Hi,

I've been researching on this forum and narrow down my search to a few oval diamonds that seemed promising. Which do you think is better and why?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I found another one that looks brighter in the pictures. Both ritani and adiamor could not provide ASET images for these

Any votes for the best?

I'm not an expert but I don't love the first one or the last one, I see some mushy facets and I don't think it's going to sparkle as much as others. I think I like the 2 Ritani ones best because of minimizing the bowtie and crisper facets, but it's hard to tell from the videos.

if you're up to looking at other sites, Frank Darling will bring in stones for you with no obligation to buy and they will do aset images for you. They do have a very specific return policy that you'll want to confirm (https://frankdarling.com/contact/?scroll_target=returns) but I had a great experience with them. If so, here are some stones I think it would be worth asking about:
