Hello all,
I've mainly been focused on finding a princess cut diamond in area of 1.0ct with a budget of $4300 (to replace the stone that is missing from my engagement ring -- so sad). I came across this diamond that is a little smaller, and a little over budget, but it is a Princess of Hearts -- .91 ct, J, Strong Fluor, VS2.
Here's a link which has the ASET, GIA cert, etc:

Risk it on the Princess of Hearts that's a J with strong fluoro or keep on looking?
GOG has another princess that is 1.06ct, F SI2 right at budget.

I already have these on hold with James Allen while I'm waiting for a gemologist to inspect them -- they are all H & I because that is what I was seeing at the time with excellent cut, >1.0 and better than SI2:

Thanks for any advice you can provide! The Princess of Hearts will probably be gone by the time I finish typing...
