I was literally just about to head to the jewelers down the street today but decided to do some last-minute research. After finding your site and reading what you have to say, you totally changed my mind!
My budget is $10k including a platinum band, so I think that means about $9k for the rock. Only requirements are round cut, no visible flaws, and (maybe weirdly) I’d like to not go over 1.5 carats.
It would be so greatly appreciated if you could suggest one or two options for me!

Thanks so much! I wasn’t expecting a reply since you’re out for Passover so I tried to find something myself on James Allen. In addition to the ones you sent me, do you like any of these? If not, I’ll go with your 1.25ct choice.

If you’re mounting it in a setting with side stones, go with one of the stones I suggested. Otherwise, if it’s in a plain solitaire, I like this one of yours:
