Seems I can get a bigger stone within my budget. Do you have any recommendations on a stone a little larger? Say around 7-8k? Possibly 1.2ct?Is there a noticeable difference btwn 1.2ct and 1ct?Thanks! Mike, thanks for this! Seems I can get a bigger stone within my budget.

I can't really help you pick a setting - that's 100% a personal matter of taste and style.As for the stone, if JA can confirm that this one is eye clean, then go for it.
