I am searching for a diamond replace another in my ring. The dimensions of the stone currently set is 7.12 x 7.19 x 4.36 mm with a total weight of 1.3 carats. The setting is a simple solitaire with double claw prongs. The stone is a modern round brilliant shape.
My challenge is finding a near to direct replacement in my budget of $6000-6500, firm. Cut quality is paramount and I am willing to wiggle on color (no warmer than I) and carat size (though, I'd really like to preserve the original size of the stone). My preference is no more inclusions than VS2, maybe S1, but I may entertain a S2 with a fortunate inclusion that can be covered by the prongs. Fluorescence may be acceptable as well.
Below are a few diamonds that appeal to my novice eye and I would love for some feedback and suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help and time!
