I've now come to three stones could I please get your opinion? I am looking for a platinum setting and would like a sizable stone that looks colourless in normal light settings, do you also expect that these stones, two of which are H are all colourless in appearance against such a setting or is G necessary?

Right now I am thinking the 2nd one, as it appears to have the best H&A and idealscope and is 50000 cheaper for 0.1 carat less. But the video on the link isn't HD and there's could and crystal inclusions on the AGS report that I can't properly assess, how do these look? There is something visible in the video but am I really nitpicking, would anyone here say that they could see inclusions on the 2nd stone?

The blue nile one will not provide idealscope or H&A on request, it appears well cut and has decent proportions (with shallow crown) but is also G in colour and VS1 which, if it is necessary to look colourless on a white setting I would consider.

Are all of these worth considering or would you recommend I keep looking? I've spent a lot of time looking on BN and JA but ultimately I'm not finding the specs of WF ACA. any advice appreciated!

I couldn’t see the tint in the video, but that’s not unusual. I inquired about it through Adiamor earlier this year and was told by the rep there that it is noted as having brown undertones. You can ask BN to confirm if brown undertone is noted.
 
I love the first one! GH is a good sweet spot for a lot of people color wise. Maybe WF will make you a video of the two side by side. I would personally prefer less inclusions than the second one has but YMMV.
 
thank you for the answers, would a brown undertone be a dealbreaker? even in a G colour? And how good do you find those idealscope and ASET on the BN one?
 
I would go for the ACA! In fact my stone has very similar specs as yours and it's a 2.91ct, here is my post that may give you some perspective of the stone's performance.

 
thats very reassuring to see!! I pulled the trigger on the ACA! happy if it looks like that!
