Help me hone my 3 choices

[ADHD426]

All thoughts and opinions welcome and appreciated here!! have narrowed down my engagement stone down to 3 choices. I'm nearly certain I've decided to go with a Brian Gavin after hours and hours of scouring the internet and research. My priority is sparkle. As far as the smaller BGB I am ok with the size, but it is 17% or so smaller. The photo below shows the size difference, to me if they're not side by side I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. So if the black trade of is worth the size I am ok with that. Option 4 is intriguing as it scored well on HCA and stonealgo. Or do I scrap and go a different direction? Thanks in advance to all you with 1,000,000x more knowledge than I have!

It is a touch smaller than I want, but it is the black collection. I'm trying to decide if the extra attention it received in cutting is a trade off for the slightly smaller size. It gets a 1.4 on the HCA tool.

2&3.
These are very similar to me as a novice. https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/...oducts/0-79-d-si1-brian-gavin-signature-round this one gets a 1.1 on the HCA and 9.3 cut score on stonealgo. https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/products/0-778-d-si1-signature-round this one gets .8 HCA

My non Brian Gavin option:
4. https://dreamstone.com/loose-diamon...rity-DreamStone+Ideal-cut-1443786183_SRACP12D It gets a .8 HCA score and a 9.7 stonealgo cut score.

You need a picture of the dreamstone one. For the BGD options, both are amazing. You don't need any other tools (HCA) when you have a super ideal stone (bgd, whiteflash, jannpaul, etc). Stone algo is wrong a lot, so please don't trust that as a way to choose anything

I found the dream stone one on blue Nile.

I’d eliminate this one personally. It is not in the same realm as the BGD.

Are you set on an DF color? You could likely drop to an H and still have a very white stone and maybe get closer to 1ct

Definitely no to this one. It isn't even close to the quality of the BGD options. The cut is not good at all

If the 0.79 BGD is eye-clean to your standards, that would be my pick.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, ADHD426!
Love the BG options!
I found a Blue Nile listing of the DreamStone listing...it's not well cut and proportioned at all, unfortunately.

Is a K color too warm for for liking?
I found a 1 carat VVS2 for under $2750.
