I’m looking for an 0.5 ct Princess cut. I made a list of 20 stones and down to 4. Any chance having a look?

These are very similar and I’m having a hard time making a final selection.
Thank you for your help.
I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.
Did not read that one but I will.
We are looking at white gold/platinum, channel set:

She was looking at this one also but the smallest stone is .75 ct:
I think this one is the clear winner:
It’s better cut, and larger (not just in weight, but will look larger as it’s not as deeply cut).
