What do you think of these heart shaped diamonds?

[Mreader]

I am looking on behalf of a friend. I have NO IDEA how to evaluate cut on this shape. Any ideas appreciated. Based on her parameters and budget, I was wondering what y'all thought of these:

I have no idea either except what appeals to my eye. That would be the first one. I don’t care for the second and the ‘shoulders’ on the third one - for lack of a better word - don’t look symmetrical to me.

The first one is my favorite also but again I’m just going by my eyes and literally nothing else!

The third one has the best light return/faceting but something about the shape that is not as pleasing as the first one. I think
the V isnt coming far enough down in the third one.

The second does not have good light return IMO.

The first one has a little bit of mush around the edge of the table on the bottom but pretty nice faceting and light return and a
pleasing outline.

Yes, I like how the shape is very heart-shaped! Thanks for the info!

I like the BN and the JA f color. The JA has a bit of a wonky big butt shape which I like. But I'm not buying it. (Dang.)

I like the third one best for it's light return. I didn't notice any lack of symmetry, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Next I like the first one. I'd eliminate the middle one.

To my novice eye, I like #3, the JA F VS1 for its color and it seems like there is less mushiness under the table. The BN is next. I like the chunkier edge facets, but that lower left quadrant is giving me pause.

Again, just using my novice eye.

If you want to compare about a doz of them all in the same place, BGD has them listed (but as 'virtual'). All in that 'around $10K price range.

Might not be what op is looking for but am posting this in case anyone searches for the topic. The diamond is not a perfect heart shape but it is kind of cool and maybe someone would want it.
