Hi everyone!

I'm in the final stages of finding a loose lab-grown diamond for my GF. The diamonds below are all roughly ~4ct, D or E Color, VVS2 and above, and have about a 1.50 ratio.

I understand that light return can only really be seen in person or via an ASET (and even those can be gamed a bit depending on the brightness of the background).

Using the loupe360's below, could you guys please give me your opinions on which two diamonds look most promising in terms of light return/hall of mirrors effect and lack of strayation? I plan on purchasing two to see in person, and keeping the one that shines the best/windows the least.

I appreciate any advice I can get here!
Thank you all!
 
I’m still in the eye training stage of EC’s, but I’m not mad at #3. I find the “on the side” videos of 1&2 harder to evaluate.

@Karl_K? Any expert thoughts?
 
1 - no 70% table and leaky.
2 - maybe need aset
3 - no large dark area tilted
4 - leaky and crystal issues
