Need images, preferably ASET image.

Unfortunately I can't provide images as all I got are the specs and copies of the certs

Then any you choose is going to be a shot in the dark. Numbers are meaningless for fancy cut.

Fancy cuts cant be bought by the numbers. Ask them if they can give you some pictures and post. Cushion cut faceting patterns
vary widely so there is no telling what you're going to get without images.

It is hard to say without looking at them but I would avoid EGL. Here are some from JA their gemologist will look at three diamonds for you to tell you which one preforms the best, I would also request asset images.
