I’ve learned so much from all the experts on this forum and can’t thank everybody enough! My plan is to set this in a classic 4-prong solitaire setting. I have narrowed my search down to the following diamonds below and would greatly appreciate some feedback from this great community!

I’ve also found a few other diamonds that have a HCA < 2.0, however, they had crown angles shallower (31.5 - 32.5) or steeper (35.5) so I’ve ruled those out for now.

On stone #2 you reversed the table and depth.

I like the last stone best from the numbers only. Is it eyeclean. And you can get an ASET. Something neither of the other vendors will provide you right now.

Actually, I reversed the depth and table %'s for all of them. Good catch!! Here are the correct details:
