From this layman''s point of view:

1) SI2, the stone might have considerable inclusions
2) It is out of shape rather considerably for a prioncess. If, however, you don''t mind, or or affirmatively looking for a more rectangular stone, this might not be an issue at all.
3) The girdle goes from etn (possibly brittle) to ETK, where you would be hiding a great deal of weight. This is far outside the "norm" of the best princess stones.
4) Some might consider the table too wide. 71% is not neccesarily too bad, but it would be somethng, when all else is considered, that may work to the detriment of the stone.

Just my .02, again: I AM NOT AN EXPERT: I look forward to hearing what the experts have to say.

Extremely Thin to Extremely Thick girdle?

I wonder where it is thin and where it is thick? I would not buy this one sight unseen!

Its dimensions are extremely rectangular. Also, you''d be a lot better off getting away from an SI2 and dropping even to an E or F if you want to remain colorless. I think that would be your best bet as an SI2 in a princess is tough to find eye clean.

Also, it sounds like they went out of their way to hit the magic 2 ct mark.
