I have a plat DBTY that is .35 (brilliant cut, color I, SI) and I love it but it does "run" up the back of my neck. I would love to layer it with another, bigger DBTY and now looking for a diamond. My budget for this project is $2500. I do not mind a warmer color of with blue fluor. I also would like this one to be RG. My previous one came form BG and I probably would want to use them again to have the bezels match.

This is the diamond that I looked at but open to suggestions. I would like to go as big as possible but without compromising cut. http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/d...0.728-j-vs1-round-diamond-ags-bl-104094705032

Also, could someone explain the number range that we want to be in with the Holloway Advisor. I thought closer to one was better but saw the statement on the page that a little higher may be more appealing to the eye.
 
The stone that you selected is gorgeous. If you could stretch your budget a little bit, you can entertain this one as well:

Regarding HCA, AGS usually trumps HCA, but what is indicated is that most people prefer stones with scores between 1-2 as they will produce a balance of fire and scintillation. I have noticed that spreader diamonds or 60/60 stones usually get scores of less than 1 and those are known to favor scintillation over fire.
 
Thank you for your reply! I was also looking at the one you suggested, too! I also appreciate the explanation regarding HCA.
