Hi, I am down to these three options and would love some help making a final decision. The look and performance of the diamond is more important than size and the diamond will be set in a yellow gold solitaire setting. Thank you so much!

#1 - James Allen | 1.70 | H | VVS1 | Depth: 65.5% | Table: 63.0% | L/W: 1.43 | Polish: Excellent | Symmetry: Excellent | Fluorescence: Faint

#2 - Blue Nile | 1.51 | G | IF | Depth: 66.7% | Table: 65.0% | L/W: 1.42 | Polish: Excellent | Symmetry: Excellent | Fluorescence: None


Unfortunately, BN does not provide ASET imaging for emerald cuts but the GIA is avaialbe through the site.

#3 - Blue Nile | 1.92 | H | VVS2 | Depth: 66.0% | Table: 66.0% | L/W: 1.49 | Polish: Excellent | Symmetry: Excellent | Fluorescence: None

My order of favorites based upon performance (video only), and additional info:
#1 JA1.70HVVS
#3 BN1.9HVVS
#2 BN 1.51GFL

#2 windows a bit at N-S facets, and there’s 1 wide center facet that just doesn’t dim enough to satisfy.
Plus, it’s smaller, and the FL clarity is overkill.
 
No, just a lot of research and time. Tried getting help from BN but the rep I spoke with wasn't helpful at all. Really appreciate the replies! I was leaning toward #1 especially since they were able to provide ASET but was looking for some more experienced opinions.
