I am looking for a fancy light (FLY) to fancy yellow (FY) diamond for a halo-style engagement ring.
Budget for the diamond is up to $5500 or so.
I generally prefer a shade in between FLY and FY. As everyone is, I am looking to maximize carat and clarity, but as I have been researching I have become increasingly focused on the cut and know I do not know enough to be a great judge of table and depth for the different cuts.
Here are links to a couple diamonds I have found that intrigued me, but again, I don’t know enough to say whether they are good value.

Of particular interest to me were numbers 1 & 2. I am planning on getting a Leibish setting so 2 would make this simpler.
Thank you for your assistance.
#2 is a fantastic choice. It’s a winner.
