Hi,
My friend (CC’d in this email) is looking to buy a solitaire engagement ring as well. I think you can help him a lot like you helped me.
I’m sitting right here with him and for starters he thinks he wants:
Round cut
Around 1ct (maybe even 0.9ct)
Around $4,000
I found these two round brilliants that would look amazing in a solitaire setting:
Blue Nile LD12318987
Blue Nile LD12374702
They have a gorgeous cut and will be very bright and brilliant.
I also found these two options:

This one I see little points imperfections. Also I feel it looks a little yellowish.

This one is gorgeous, it has a stunning cut and is perfectly eye-clean. You don’t base the color choice on the pictures on the website, there’re various factors that can affect how the diamond looks (especially the lightning in the room where the video was recorded). All you need is the cert (GIA or AGS only).

Strong fluorescence is a kiss of death on anything higher than a J color. It is practically guaranteed to have a hazy/dead look in most lighting.
Thank you very much. Can you recommend other options?
I found these:
