Oval Diamond - PLEASE HELP! Concerned About Depth & Girdle

Hi guys, my first time on here so go easy on me! I'm proposing this Summer, and after much searching I think I've found the right diamond. Please see details as follows:

Oval Modified Brilliant
9.07 x 6.28 x 4.47 (Ratio 1.44)
2.06 Carat
Fancy Light Yellow
Even Distribution
IF
Excellent Polish / Very Good Symmetry
No Fluorescene
Tabel 56%
Depth 71.2%
Very Thick - Extremely Thick Girdle
GIA

My main concern is, how much of an issue is the depth going to be? From the looks of things the percentage is on the larger side, so I wondered if this is enough to 'put someone off' when looking at it or make it look 'odd' or be difficult to set?

Also, how much of an issue is the girdle, if any? Should these be significant enough to turn me away? The price is fantastic and from pictures and other details on the specification it's almost everything I'm looking for!

Would hugely appreciate your help and advice if you can spare a few minutes.

I dont know how much it will effect the brilliance of the diamond, but with a depth that high It will "face up" smaller than a comparable oval with a better proportioned cut. But that may already be reflected in the price

Hi there and thanks very much for your response!

When you say it'll face up smaller, do you think it will look considerably smaller than a 2.0 carat? The price is going to be approximately 7.5k (GBP) so is still super value regardless of the depth (in my limited opinion?).

Please let me know your thoughts if anyone else wants to contribute!

Check out the ideal sizing under --> "knowledge" --> "fancy cut diamonds" tabs here. I'm not sure it REALLY matters to everyone. But technically a deeper oval with an xthick girdle will look smaller. But we're probably not talking about a hige difference.

Look at the dimensions of other similar ct ovals. Maybe yours is cheaper because it looks smaller, maybe not
