Should i buy this diamond?

Getting the 1.71ct G color VVS2 Excellent cut diamond for $16K. Is this the right price? Any concerns regarding the cut of the diamond? I am not an expert so would be helpful to get some advice.

The deep cut and steep crown isn't great. Do you have any IRL pics?

I have few pics but all from same angel. Can get more pics also.

I'd ask for more pics, but I'm worried about the proportions

Appreciate it. I have the same concerns (from what i read online). What is the impact of these proportions? Does the diamond sparkle less?

Light can leak, meaning less brilliance/sparkle

I can't say for certain, but there may be a bit of leakage under the table. But overall it actually looks pretty good.
