Need an opinion on this diamond- is it a little steep/deep?

[ks2012]

Hi,

I am looking at buying this diamond. It is a GIA certified excellent cut and gets an HCA of 1.6

Depth: 62.2%
Table:55%
Crown Angle: 35.0°
Crown Height:15.5%
Pavilion Angle:40.8°
Pavilion Depth:43.0%
Star Length:50%
Lower Half: 80%
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick, Faceted (3.5%)
Culet:None

What do you all think of the proportions? Just wondering if it is a little steep/deep for beauty?

It is on the deep side so I'd want to see an Idealscope image.

Unfortunately I don't have access to an idealscope image- I can't see it in person either. Due to circumstances I need to make the purchase via one of the online diamond sellers. It is hard to find excellent cut, really well proportioned diamonds at the moment that are not branded (I'm happy just to get an ideal/excellent cut, I'd rather get a bigger stone than pay extra for ACA etc). I started casually looking at diamonds a few months ago and the selection was much better then I'm sure.

Then you are shopping at the wrong vendor.

I'd try goodoldgold, whitefish, briangavindiamonds craftedbyinfinity or jamesallen.

Thanks Julie- I think it is probably fine too. I found this old thread about a diamond similiar to the one I am considering - the person liked it in real life which is encouraging
