The stone and custom-designed setting were both purchased from Arthur Groom Jewlers in Ridgewood, NJ (where we also purchased my original e-ring 20 years ago!) "
My center stone is an oval... or it was when it was purchased 30+ years ago (it is an heirloom) but it has squarish corners, and especially the way I have had it set, it looks more cushion-y, but it is technically an oval.
I think the ovel is such a pretty shape and all the rings are beautiful! The only thing is- the bow tie. I know there is nothing that canbe done about it but it would bug the carp out of me
MMM,
I searched high and low for my sidestones because I didn''t want them to have a bow tie. But maybe in larger stones that is more difficult, I just don''t know.
Every fancy shape except for your squares and trillion cuts have what's called the "bow-tie" effect. Because the pavilion angles around the fancies vary, this produces a "bowtie" effect in marquises, pears, ovals, and hearts. How noticeable the bowtie is depends on how deep or how shallow the pavilion is cut on that stone. All these shapes have bowties to some degree. Some are more faint and some are more noticeable, but if the bowtie turns you off don't get these shapes!
