You need to attach pics or videos
 
 
You really can't go wrong, but I like the first two. The first one is a bit more balanced, and the second one leans towards fiery.
 
These are all great. I personally wouldn't pay extra for VVS clarity, but if it's culturally important then go for it

I was going to say the same thing, as well as that I'd drop to G in color. But if it's cultural, then I agree with @Kim N
 
The other VS1 and VS2 Brian Gavin Black rounds are also stunning.

Thanks @ Kim N! I’m curious — was there something about #3 that you did not like?
 
Hello, dearbornpop!
Is AGS 000 F VS1 acceptable?

 
Indeed... awesome 16% crown height!

Interestingly, the stone with the 53% table (1.767c) has a lower HCA compared to the 55.6% (1.758c) table. Do you know why that would be the case? Thank you!

That's merely the way the HCA calculated based on proportions and angles as the input. With these particular diamonds, you have nothing to worry about since they are true SIC and all the advanced images are provided as proof to their immaculate cut and optics.
 
Remember that HCA is really an elimination tool. Not necessarily a choosing tool once you get to 2 or under.

Indeed...and the most important piece of advice since no estimator site can assess material quality, cut precision, and optical performance:
