Good stone for E-ring?

[Sunburn]

Paid $2100 for this stone:
EGL cert.
Round Brilliant
0.63 ct
G color
VVS1 clarity
No photoluminescence
5.43-5.42-3.35 mm
60% depth
58% table
15% crown height
43% pavilion depth
thin to medium girdle
excellent finish

It looks great, good spread. What does everybody think about the price, size, cut, etc.?

Hm...

From the measurements (3.35 depth and 5.425 diameter) depth should be 61.8%
The number you give is 60%
From the crown and pavilion percentages: depth comes 58% leaving anything from 3.8% to 45 for the girdle.

But such rough "match" is not unusual and either of the 'versions' works out nicely on the HCA, so I would definitely have great expectations for the stone's look, as you say.

Within those limits, the depth % would not have much visual impact (= spread) given the weight range...

All in all, good proportions on an EGL cert spells "good deal" to me

While the VVS grades are not considered a good "price point" here, I can definitely understand the attraction, and in this weight range, going down to VS2 or so would not have made a meaningful tradeoff... as far as I understand these things.
