Help me decide between these ovals!

Hi all!

I am currently looking into a ring, and am becoming more and more confused, the more diamonds I see. Would y'all mind weighing in here on which rings looks like the best to you? Still learning to understand these reports. Money is less of an object than finding the best one! Thanks!

Option 1:



Option 2:



Option 3:

Hi @fef2177 and welcome to PriceScope!
Have you been able to put your eyes on any of these?
I noticed that diamond #4 is from Ada, and they really seem to put their diamonds through the wringer as a vetting process.

Only the first two! The last few are all from Ada and I won’t be able to see them in person unfortunately.

Is Ada willing to send you videos of the diamonds that depict brilliance and sparkle, similar to what Distinctive Gem and Whiteflash do?

I like 3 and 5 the best. I feel 4 has a little too much bowtie effect for my tastes.

Any of the 5 jump out at you?

Loved 3 too but honestly they’re all great to the untrained eye.

Also got a video for option 2: https://www.ascotdiamonds.com/diamonds/pieceid/LGV1806

It faces up smaller than option 1 but is a higher carat. Is that a bad thing? For comparison:
Option 2:
10.19 x 7.26 x 4.49 2.07 E/VS1 w 1.40 ratio (slight differences)
Option 1:
10.29 x 7.14 x 4.47 2.02 F/VS1 so 1.44 ratio
