I'm sorry for posting a new thread here, I am new to PS and wanted to get an opinion on a diamond cut proportions. If I am in the wrong place could someone please show me where to correctly post? Thank you!

The diamond I am interested in has these specs:
1.52 ct
I color
VS2 clarity
Dimensions: 7.33-7.37 x 4.55 mm
Fluorescence: none
Cut: excellent
Symmetry: excellent
Polish: excellent
Depth %: 61.9
Table %: 59
Crown angle: 34.9
Pavillion angle: 41
Girdle: slightly thick, faceted
Culet: none
Lower half length %: 80
Star length %: 50

From my reading of other threads, I am a little concerned about the 59% table. Is this something to be worried about? Also, what do the lower half and star length %s mean? Any guidance on whether this is a diamond I should seriously consider purchasing, please let me know! I appreciate any/all advice.

Thank you in advance for any help/assistance!
 
Welcome to PS! Rocky Talk is the perfect place to post a question like this.

These are the recommended guidelines:

Depth no more than 62.3
Crown 34 -35
Table 55-58
Pavilion 40.6 - 40.9

The crown angle on the stone you posted is 34.9 and paired with a 41 pavilion angle is not the best combo. With a 41 degree pavilion angle, you should have a crown angle closer to 34. The table size on the stone is not as worrisome as the crown/pavilion angle combo. With a 34.9 crown angle, I'd shoot for a 40.7 or 40.8 pavilion angle. The slightly thick girdle can hide weight leaving the stone to face up smaller. I prefer a stone with a 76-78 lower half length but the star length would be fine. I know that's a lot to take in all at once but I would definitely pass on that stone.
