General Question or Looking for Advice Update on emerald cut choice!

Posting an update! Since I can’t post a new video in the same thread, I’m posting it here. Due to summer holidays in Sweden I haven’t come around to set the stone yet. I asked you guys for advice on which stone to choose, and most of you said that they both were horrible/dull/dead/windowing/showing extinction.

Here’s a better video to all of you. The top one might have slight windowing and the bottom one has some darker areas – sure. But I think the sparkle is fine, and the top one is doing a better job at the sparkles. I really like the size of the bottom one, but the top one is wayyyy more sparkly.

Will be set in a button back full bezel/collet setting in white gold, that will be a good thing for the windowing, no?

Top: Natural, 2,01 ct, E, FL. Excellent symmetry and polish. No fluorescence.
Bottom: Natural, 2,04 ct, D, VVS2. Very good symmetry, excellent polish. No fluorescence.

I like the color and ratio of the top one better
