Help choosing diamond

[Nj2thompson]

Hi all,
First time poster but have gained some very useful information through the forum in recent months.
I’m struggling to narrow down my search and have come to rest on these 7. All fairly similar. Can anyone with better insight than me suggest their pick of the bunch?
All 1 carat and fairly similar in price. Ideally I would like one of the larger dimensions as all are within my acceptable l:w ratio but unsure of some of the inclusions on them (particularly the cavitys).
If anyone with more knowledge than me could provide some feedback I’d be extremely grateful!

If you run the numbers through the HCA tool (under the Tools tab at the top of the forum) that will show stones that have scores under 2.0, which indicates the crown and pavilion angles work well with each other.

Stones that score up to about 2.6-2.7 may also be worth considering, but more analysis is needed.

These are oval stones so they wont work with the HCA tool.

All the stones are pretty much cut the same way with 8 arrows offset from the center. I think the last one will have the best light return but it is
also on the smaller side.

Out of the stones you posted my choice would be one of the following. Is there any way you can see these in person and then decide?
Do they have a good return policy if they are not to your liking?

Thanks for the response much appreciated!
The return policy is fine as long as nil fluorescence which they all are. It’s more just timing that is against me.. it takes a few weeks to get in. If I don’t like it I absolutely can change would just be a few more weeks until delivery! Would be nice to compare side by side but unfortunately not an option here..
