1 and 3 desrve more attention - check for crown and pavilion angles / %''s and enter them into HCA (tools on top right)

All of these stones are a little deep, but one and three being the least deep as suggested already. The depth of 1/3 aren''t deep enough to necessarily impact performance negatively, but they will face up a little smaller than their carat weight and thus they should be priced at a slight discount.
