HCA: .9

Are any of these 3 any good? could i do better? Personally, i felt #2 looked the best because of the idealscope image seemed best.

All are good, #1 lacks the hearts image, so cannot judge the H&A aspect.

These are great diamonds and a hearts image is needed for the first, but this is very important - diamonds 1 and 2 have grade setting clouds so you would need to ask for one of the gemologists to check this to make sure they aren''t impacting performance.
