I thought I would update this thread just for future readers who come across it.
I ended up using these diamonds in a five-stone ring project, and I sent them to GIA. I'm so glad I kept them bc even though the girdle issues in two of the stones were scary in macro pictures, the specs still came back SI2, which I am totally fine with.
The "crack" that we discussed in detail above is actually an etch channel, which is a type of natural. Like a little worm hole caused by impurities in the diamond material while its forming in the earth. Kind of cool.
The diamonds are: L SI2 0.53ct, K SI2 0.51ct, and L VS2 0.54ct.
I paid $775 for them
More specs and pictures at this link.

Sally, Rita, and perfect came back from GIA! I'm pretty happy with the results.
Sold to me as JK SI1 and 1.44cttw.
Local appraiser said H/I color for all three, I1 clarity for Sally and Rita and SI2 for Perfect, 1.65cttw
GIA says 1.57cttw
Sally: L SI2 0.53ct (Chip, Etch Channel) <-- this is interesting because we were wondering what the inclusion were, maybe thought the one of the crown was a natural, but nope, its a chip! And the other surface-reaching inclusion by the girdle is an etch channel, which is interesting.
Rita: K SI2 0.51ct (Crystal, Chip, Feather)
Perfect: L VS2 0.54ct
