Do these specs look like a good starting point for round studs?

Would it be possible to get some preliminary advice on making a pair of round studs? I have my eye on 3 lab diamonds but 2 of them don’t have photos, so I’m trying to decide if I should just order 2 of these 3 diamonds and plan to return if they don’t look good in person.

I’m trying to pick diamonds that will be beautiful earrings on my ears, but also look at least a little sparkly in my hands. I used this chart to try to pick diamonds in the More Brightness / Bright Balanced range:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/so-if-i-prefer-a-brighter-whiter-diamond….280141/. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to calculate the “lower half” percent, so maybe the diamonds I found won't be good.

Based on the numbers below, would it be possible to predict if any two of these diamond might make good studs and be a decent match? I know they can't be fully evaluated without images.
  • Diamonds 1 & 3 have nearly all of the same percents and angles, but I'm worried the size mis-match might be too apparent.
  • Diamond 2 is the middle size, so it might be OK to match with 1 or 3 in that sense, but since the angles/percentages aren't so similar maybe it wouldn't be a good match with 1 or 3.

Thank you for any advice you can give me; I know your ability to give feedback will be limited without images.

All 3 are HPHT, VS1 or clearer.

You absolutely need video bc you want to look for things that can hide between the angles: pavilion twist, painting/digging, tinge, blue nuance, paddling … all sorts of things aren’t told by the numbers.

Yay studs!

Thanks you; I know the numbers aren’t enough to say that I should buy. I mostly want to know if these proportions (percentages and angles) look good so that I can look into these diamonds further. And if any two of them would be a good pair based on the proportions and sizes. I know that there are situations where one angle and another aren’t a good combo, and I haven’t been able to get to that level of expertise yet.
