Do you have links to the magnified vendor videos of these diamonds? The numbers only tell us how well the proportions are likely to work together but don't show us the cut precision. Just from the numbers, Diamond B looks most promising.

No, I don't have additional details. The seller from the brand store, a Diamond Expert and GIA Diamonds Graduate, only provided me with this information. Are there any other details I should request?

Yes, up close pictures and videos, and ASET and H&A images if you can get them.

I would disregard #3 - that’s basically a 60-60 diamond which will offer great brightness but less balanced on fire but it’s personal preference… and not my preference. I also do not care for stones with large tables.
I.also agree the 2nd one looks most promising.
I do like the med fl of the first as they would give that H a bump up to appearing a bit less color but the 35 with 40’.8 I have heard needs to have a lower of 80.
You need to get images.

If you get the certificate numbe for #2, we might be able to find a video.
