Q&A: Looking for an Excellent - G - SI Round Diamond for $1600

Hi,
I am buying an engagement ring from James Allen. My plan:

– budget is approx $2200 in total ($1600 for diamond, $650 for solitaire setting).
– platinum setting – https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/platinum-2mm-comfort-fit-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-1981?a_aid=dmnd1357.
– round diamond, size approx 0.5ct- 0.6ct
– I’m tending towards clarity SI1 and color G (I would prefer a whiter diamond).

I have narrowed down the diamond to the ones listed below, but am not sure which would be the most beautiful. Please let me know which would be your preference (or if you have any other suggestions).
