is 62.7 too deep for round brilliant diamond? (image attached)

[hb0715]

Hi,
I am looking for a diamond for my replacement ring.
I found one stone I like within my budget, but it has 62.7 diamond depth which is too deep from what I know.
The proportions of the diamond are

Table width: 56
Table depth: 62.7
Crown angle: 35.5
Pavilion angle: 40.6
Lower half: 80

It is a triple excellent diamond, e color, VVS2 and no fluorescence.
I don't know what the HCA score is.
Can anyone please give me any advice on this diamond by looking at the pictures and the proportions?
Thank you in advance!

Score is 1.4 on the HCA, just FYI.
The depth isn't great, but it's not horrible either. I think E and VVS is overkill for both color and clarity, and you would be able to get a larger stone if you dropped one or both. What is your budget?

The depth is high partially because of 56 table and 35.5 CA. This means that the stone has more weight on the crown, rather than hidden in the pavilion. I like it based these photos.

I do not normally comment on color and clarity.

Thanks for replying! My budget is $14000 including the setting. I don't know if I can get a bigger stone since it is a replacement ring, my agent told me that I have to get the similar stone that I used to have (e color, vvs2, 1.24 ct).

What was the approx cost of the setting?

My original setting was $1000.

My original setting was $1000.

Just to confirm you're looking at potential $12,500 loose?

Would confirm if needed to be similar specs or if it's amount.

My budget is $13000 for a loose diamond. My agent told me the replacement ring could be slightly bigger than my original ring, but it shouldn't be 1.4 carat or larger.

Is your total budget 13K, or based on size? From my understanding, it's based on cost rather than diamond size.

The insured cost is $12000, and I am willing to pay up to $2000 out of my pocket for a better diamond.

This one’s a little smaller but is the E color and VVS2 clarity that you’re insured for:

Here’s a beautiful F 1.213 (probably has a larger diameter than the one you’re replacing because it’s not as deep):

Both with Whiteflash, so you would have their fabulous trade-up policy.

This is a fabulous diamond. Personally I think you should get the finest diamond you can and I don’t see how you could do better.

It should display plenty of fire

I used to do a lot of insurance replacement work. Whenever I had a client who wanted something more than what the original loss was, I was always able to replace the original loss with whatever the client wanted and the client paid anything over the allowable replacement cost with the insurance company.

I think your agent may be misinformed if he is trying to tell you that you cannot buy a larger or a more expensive diamond and setting. He is correct that only some of that will be paid by your insurance.
