Princess Cut Diamond Upgrade: Appearance & Size Comparison

Question
Hi.  I have a .71 princess cut diamond that I am looking to upgrade to about 1 carat.  My diamond measures 4.93 X 4.97 but I can't remember the table and depth percentages.  Just to get a feel for price, I am looking at diamonds online and found a 1.04 princess cut, 5.80 X 5.63, 73 depth and 75 table percentages.  Will these measurements give the impression of a larger stone than my 4.93 X 4.97?  I would like the appearance of a larger stone, but not too large as I have side stones that I don't want covered up.  I'll be shopping soon, but in the meantime, I'm trying to do my homework.  Thanks - Kathi

Answer
The 1.04 will definately look bigger to answer your question however it may not be the best stone.

Thanks for writting !!!

Good Luck
