Your budget isn't going to leave you a lot of options

This is the best I could find.

Gets a good HCA and fits your criteria.

Loosen your criteria a bit and you would have more options.

Your really stretching it with what you currently have.

OP, what is more important to you? Larger size with okay optics, or smaller size with superior optics? With the criteria you listed and the budget you have, it's gonna be one or the other, but probably not both. It's okay if you don't care to have the absolute best optical performance, but understand that this is PS, and that's what the consensus will value over size, color, or clarity (assuming eye clean enough for the buyer). Usually, it's cut>size>clarity>color for the average PSer, but CUT will always reign supreme here at PS.

As I mentioned in your other thread, if you want closer to the 1 ct mark, then you will need to seek out an eye clean SI in a bit lower color. An I color will look very white in a 1 ct stone.

The stone Neil found looks good.
