What do people think to these angles and numbers?

Comes in at 1.2 on HCA

Large table..59%

The crown angle seems a bit too shallow. The girdle is also a bit too thick for my taste as well.
Do you have other images (ASET, etc?)

Agree with this! I’d pass unless I could get other images. I’d pass anyway personally because of crown angle.
 
Ok, 59% is not a large table and this is not a bad 60/60 stone. My original e-ring had very similar proportions and it was a beautiful diamond. Nonetheless, there are other stones in the market that will provide a more balanced performance. OP, what is your budget? And what are you looking at in terms of color, clarity & size?
 
My budget around £4500 Uk sterling. 1.1 or above. Colour J. Clarity SI1 or above. Eye clean if poss.

Thanks.
 
Agree with @SimoneDi . These are not the typical "Ideal" numbers we suggest but they are good for a 60/60 stone which usually tends more towards
white light than colored light but I'm not really sure if its that big of a difference to notice. Others with 60/60 stones might be able to comment.

Agreed. These arent ideal stats that you'll typically see here, but they are solid for a 60/60 style stone.
 
I have a stone with a 59% table. It scored a 1.1 on the HCA. It is so pretty. Lots of fire and white light return. Some might remember that I bought two stones. Both scored well on the HCA but one had a smaller table. When I compared them side by side, I preferred the one with the larger table. It’s in my avatar.
 
Do you need to stick with blue Nile bc of VAT? Or are you open to other vendors?
 
BN makes it easier for VAT but open to other options.

I think that limiting results only to 1.1ct + hurts your search. There will be negligible difference between 1.1ct and other stones that are slightly smaller in carat weight. The proportions and spread are important. Here is a stone a bit above budget with a beautiful make: 1.06 J VVS1 while the clarity is a bit of an overkill, it’s a gorgeous stone.

Should florescence be none or faint or does it not matter?

Medium is no reason for concern. Sometimes, diamonds may be affected by strong fluorescence, but even that needs to be examined on stone-by-stone basis, it is not a universal rule.
 
What does the diamond you posted score on the HCA scale? thanks

Is there any others that have great proportions for around 4500 which jump out at you?

This is a really great point. We don't know the measurements of the original stone in question, but given it has a 4% girdle thickness, it may actually face up smaller than another stone of similar measurement... you are so right in mentioning that a stone a little smaller in carat weight may have the same measurement of the one in question (and would come in at a price-point below the magic number!).
