I will start by apologizing for joining your forum only to ask for help. I have tried my best to distill this to numbers (I know, I know...) using information from this forum (thank you, Karl!) and elsewhere. Filters that I have been using: 2.7-3.2 carat, VVS1-2 clarity, 60-65% table, 60-65% depth, 13.5-15.0% crown height, ~1.4 L/W ratio, med-thick girdle, etc. Unfortunately, GIA does not list crown height and I am not confident in my ability to judge that from angled video.

Below are four engagement ring center stones that I am focused on in no particular order. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
