Hi and welcome to Pricescope,

This diamond looks to be what we call a steep deep, the crown and pavilion angles may not work together as well as they could to help this diamond sparkle. These angles are crucial for good light return, so I would suggest looking for a diamond with -

crown angle between 34 and 35 degrees and
pavilion angle - 40.6 to 41 degrees

if you find a combo of CA 35/ PA 41, this is possibly entering the danger zone for steep deep but could be fine, so an Idealscope image or good examination of the diamond would be helpful.

Is this diamond with an online vendor or have you seen it in person?

Ditto! And look for table 54-57 and depth 60-62 (when you get into greater depth, you may lose diameter which effects the appearance of size).
