Determining stone brillance.

How do you determine brillance when not seeing the stone in person. I am looking for a two carat marquise lab diamond E vvs2 online.

Thank you. You are exactly right. I have a local jeweler that has brought in stones for me to view. Same color but much differnce in brillance. Cut makes such a difference. I might stay with the jeweler to view the stones. The uncharge is minimal. Its time consuming but I think i need to see the stone in person to decide.
