Engagement ring help please!

[Groundhog716]

Hi All,
I am chasing some help to pick the right engagement diamond. I have done the usual googling and read a few articles enough to narrow down to what I think are a few good candidates, however, I still feel very much like a novice and would love any extra tips or input any of you have to help me.
I have had good recommendations from some friends who have bought from James Allen so will be looking to buy from there. Being in Australia, I am aware of the taxes payable but this still appears the better option compared to most retail outlets here.
The few I have shortlisted are as follows:

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.06-carat-h-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-376396

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.11-carat-i-color-vvs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-299609

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.09-carat-i-color-vvs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-302339

As you can see, I am looking at the round cut in the 1-1.1 carat range, H-I colour and somewhere in the VS2-VVS2 clarity however would consider something slightly outside of these if you had any good recommendations.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can provide!

All four stones are great candidates that scores under 2 HCA with kickin CA/PA combo. I would pick both H's and the cheapest I and put them on hold and ask for an IS. These should come back great

I like the first two. Don't waste money on VVS clarity.
