Soliciting Feedback - Solitaire ER (Pics/Video)

First, thank you again for all the help so far. I have two diamonds which to my eyes, both behave quite brilliantly! I know the phone pictures and videos might not be enough to spot any visual differences. Without knowing the details of the diamonds, what do you think? Please feedback on the diamond and settings separately. This is for an engagement ring proposal happening soon!

I think you need to take your shots from a different angle:
Straight face up into the camera, if possible with a macro lens.
Each diamond straight & focused. No tilt.
I'm guessing one won't be able to say anything with certainty either, but at least one (the helpful long time PSers) could make an educated guess re. Cut and eye cleanliness

I prefer the setting closest to the base of your hand. I can’t tell much about the diamonds

Ditto...you need to have the stones facing the camera...hold them still for a long period, then move them very slowly.

Still not sure if we'll be able to tell you much about the stones. Do you have any reports you can post?

Can't tell anything from these. Maybe they are both excellent cut so the differences may not show up in these videos and pictures. In the very last picture, the stone on the right is almost facing forward and we can at least see some arrows.

In your first post, I definitely like the setting better on the right.

I can tell more about the diamonds from the reports.

Thanks, this was more to decide on a setting. We decided to go with the knife edge setting which is already quite popular. After looking at a lot of diamonds we're now looking into WF ACAs after seeing one in person.

PS: It's very difficult to take pictures of the diamonds
