Hi all! I'm desperate for help evaluating if the "short list" I've made is any good or if I need to go back to the drawing board. I've done a ton of reading browsing and what I've come to find is that it is truly difficult to observe good light performance online, even given ideal specs- but given my budget I am set out to give it my best
What I am looking for:
Lab grown asscher, 3-4 carats (give or take). D-H, VVS2 or higher, small table, symmetric steps, wider windmills and good scintillation and flash.
One thing that has me confused is some sources say "watch out for black/darkness in the image" others say you need the high contrast and that GREY is actually what can show light leakage under the table... Maybe someone can set me straight here.
Thank you for reading this far and here are the three currently on my short list. My untrained eye has me leaving toward the first two more but I'm here for your opinions and observations! Anything helps!

Here is a photo of what I plan to do with it (of the two rings shown on hand I am drawn to the larger one but would choose a smaller stone if it looked nicer)
Thank you so much for any guidance!!
