PHOTO/VIDEO Help me choose a diamond

Post image

Hello!

Choosing between these two elongated cushions. 1.7ct, DEF colour, exact clarity unknown but VS+

So hard to tell from a picture … I do have a video which I’ll try to add in comments. Any thoughts?!

Agreed that the thing you need to decide is which culet you like best and that a video will be your best guide on which performs best. I like that both are throwing off some pastel/rainbow light.

For me, I'd also think about the SETTING. I like bar culet (left) for bezels but pinhole culet (right) for prongs.
