Too deep making the stone face up a bit small. Just for size comparision, here is an ideal cut 2.18 ct diamond with diameter of 8.33+mm. My limit for depth is 62.3 but I prefer 62 or less. It would be worth buying if priced closer to a 2.0-2.1 ct stone.

What is the price of that stone?

(If it is the one from B2C, the price is oddly low and worth buying if they can explain why the price is as low as it is.)

Thanks for the response, DS. It is priced around 14K - I saw others around the same price give or take a few hundred dollars. Maybe I will keep looking.
