Hi! I've been trying to pick a blue lab-grown pear shaped diamond for my girlfriend's engagement ring. Unfortunately, there are not a lot options and stores where I live. I found one though that at least has their diamonds listed along with their certificates. They don't have them in the store though, so I can only check online.

Diamond 1 - Loupe360
Diamond 2 - Loupe360
Diamond 3 - Loupe360 (360 not working)

You can see 360s of Diamonds 1 and 2. The 360s for Diamonds 3-5 aren't working, so I attached their images.
I'm leaning towards Diamond 2 as I like how its shade of blue looks in the 360 and also because it's the largest. Its LW ratio is more elongated than I'd prefer, though maybe it's not that big of a deal since its width is still the largest among these. I'm not sure if its bowtie is that bad too, since the others have bowties too except maybe Diamond 1? Also, I actually like how Diamond 1 looks in the 360 the most. I'm a bit wary of buying any of Diamonds 3-5 since their 360s aren't working.

I'm still a beginner and I've made some research, but it seems all of their proportions are mostly great? I've been using this as a guide.

Let me know your thoughts. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you! :)
 
Can’t really select fancy cuts without videos. Based on the videos 2 looks much better cut than 1. 1 looks leaky and tilt windows pop up with the slightest tilt.
 
Am having a hard time choosing among them but did not want to leave you posting without some advice. :) So I vote for cheapest one that still looks good to your eye.
 
For my hand I'd choose 1.
