Help with yellow diamond.

I am new to yellow diamond. My jeweler shows me several stones. I prefer good light return. Probably I will choose either Halo or 3 stone setting. Which one will be my best choice?

Colored diamond selection is so subjective. From just going by the pictures, the first radiant looks to have the best cut/light
return (to me) but it could be differences in focus/lighting etc.

Can you pick 3 for your jeweler to bring in and see in person?

I agree with @tyty333 that from the photos I prefer the first one, but you really should see a few in person and pick the one that appeals most to you.

How about if I end up with an online vendor? What’s the best way for me to check the stone?

Buy with a good return policy and assess in person.

Have you seen many yellow diamonds in person?

I saw several but not many.

Can you get videos of the stones you posted? Or at least of the one people seem to like?

can you tell us which stones are in which videos? I'm not sure which stone the first one you posted is.

This is the report for the cushion cut with the video. Then the left radiant is the one he is trying to sell. But I think the clarity is a little bit lower.
Both stones are around $9000.
