Has my jeweller picked well cut diamonds?

[Mirowaki]

Hi! I'm having a bespoke ring made with a 2.2-2.5ct round brilliant centre stone and would like to know if my jeweller has selected well cut options.

After viewing lots of diamonds I've realised I'm only bothered about it being eye clean but am very colour sensitive (and was disappointed with a previous F-colour HPHT diamond that exhibited blue nuance). For ease, I've therefore been considering E & VS1. My jeweller has sent me three options but they don't seem to meet the recommended cut criteria in terms of table/depth%, crown/pavilion angle, etc.

I wonder if I can find something better for up to around £3000. For reference, my jeweller has very competitive diamond prices and has quoted the ones above around £2100. I've had a look myself and have found the following options and would like your opinions on them please:

Do these seem better than the options my jeweller has suggested? If not, can you suggest anything better? Thank you!

Your jeweler's options are not good. While the ones you found have much better proportions, they aren't precisely cut.

This is what I'd recommend instead:

Thank you so much this looks fantastic! I will try to put it on hold for now.

Could you explain what you mean about being precisely cut? Is that something separate from having good proportions?

You're welcome!

Here is an example. The circled areas show an unevenly cut pavilion, which can lead to leakage under the table.

I see thank you. I would definitely not have noticed that myself and have not information about it elsewhere. I will be on the lookout in the future!
