Of course, I keep trolling for a cheap match and found a 5.5mm stone and had it sent to Ari to see if the facet pattern and size would work. He said that he felt that the size difference was too much and had me return the stone. I wonder if this is one of those things that needs to be decided on a case by case, stone by stone, basis.

I found with my smaller set a few years ago that I had some tolerance for size but got quite picky about crown height and culet size. I ended up setting another diamond while I continued to look and found the perfect match. For me, I think I'd try to get a bit closer than 6mm, unless 6mm is the smaller side of the new stone and 6.2 is the larger side of the stone you already own.
