Hm for me your link isn't to a specific stone. It's to a list of diamonds.

Usually we'd ask for the crown angle and pavilion angle, but I can tell you right now that I would pass on the diamond in consideration.

It is very deep at 68.8%. That will affect how light is reflected through the diamond, thus how sparkly it is. It also means that much of the carat weight is in the depth and not in the face of the stone. In other words, it will face up and look small for it's carat weight.

The cut is "Very Good." If you are maximizing sparkle and brilliance, then you should stick with an Excellent cut or Ideal cut.

Here's some helpful numbers to help you choose:

Depth: 59-62.3%
Table: 54-58%
Crown angle: 34-35 degrees
Pavilion angle: 40.6 - 41 degrees

Are you looking for princess or round? The link you posted goes to results of a princess search. The parameters JDDN posted are for rounds.

Not very good specs in either case.

Yes, the specs I posted are only for round brilliants. Sorry for the confusion if you're not looking a RB's. When I click on your link it brings me to a list of round diamonds. Weird if it brings others to princess or cushions....
