diamond 1: https://www.fonderdiamond.sg/en/diamonddetail.jsp?id=3464198
diamond 2: https://www.fonderdiamond.sg/en/diamonddetail.jsp?id=3305953 (are Knots a cause of concern?)

I would eliminate #2. Your first two inclusions listed in order are Cloud & Knot. Clouds can tend to negatively affect a diamond’s performance, and appear foggy, and knots, depending on their position within the stone, can be areas of concern. You have 2 much better options, so, #2 is out, for me*.

#3 is my top choice. The vendor lists that the SBF does not impact the stone in a way that makes it milky or cloudy. If you can confirm this with the gemologist, the only question pertaining to SBF is do you LIKE SBF? Really, that’s more of apreference for many. If the SBF does not impact the stone, it’s a matter of how you feel about it.
#1 is my second choice. I love the tiny table at 56%, however, it scores under 1 on the HCA at 0.6. Not that it’s a negative thing, but #3 scores at 1.0, and 1.0-2.0 are considered more desirable for Engagement Stones.
