Hi everyone, I recently found this forum and hope I can get some advice on an engagement ring diamond. I have selected some diamonds with GCAL reports, and they provide various optical images (and Hearts and Arrow images), but i'm still unsure the best way to read these. I’ve narrowed my search to 4 options I think would be good:

These are all lab diamonds, and I know pricing lab diamonds is subjective. I'm not interested in which one is a good deal, just one that is likely to be beautiful (have good fire, scintillation, light return, etc.) based on the photographs.
Thank you in advance, I appreciate all of the great information from the knowledgable people here!
