[Video side by side] Which of these two has most fire?

[Tweedi]

Hi All

I was wondering if you think one of these two stones has more fire than the other? They are both H&A cushion of similar size and am wondering if, for your expert eyes, one is obviously more appealing than the other?

I know Auguste vintage have more fire with larger facets but I wanted an H&A.

The one on the right seems to flash more to me but I'm not sure my non-expert eye is able to give this a fair comparison.

Alternatively, if you think they are both of similar cut quality that also helps me.

Looking forward to reading your opinions.
Thanks!

Hi,
You're asking two different questions- one question is which stone has more fire.
In that case, these sorts of stones are not known for maximum fire events. In general- you want larger facets to produce fire.
You also asked which stone is more appealing- which is a question of taste for sure.....

Best of luck!!

While David is right im going to answer the fire question.
6 of one, a half dozen of the other.
They were cut by the same cutter using the same recipe and process.
If they are close to the same size and color with no visible inclusions, mounted side by side you would call them twins.

I am hard pressed to identify any visible differences. I think I am more initially attracted to the aesthetics of the right option, but I had to try really hard to identify a favorite.

The one on the right seems to be more fiery to my eyes as well.

The one on the right has more going on under the table than the one on the left. Just my observation. Therefore, over all it has better scintillation.

Both look pretty stinking close..... If I had to pick one, I very slightly, just a smidge, think that maybe (kinda, sorta) might prefer the right one.... Maybe?

I know you aren't asking about color, but the one on the left looks noticeably cooler and the one on the right looks warmer to me. But that may not be the diamonds themselves, but the lightning in the room, etc. I'd select the higher-colored one.
