My pear has a pretty distinct bowtie, but it doesn't really bother me unless I'm wearing black. hehe Personally, I think your stone is lovely.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

To me it just looks like a reflection of the shank. Your stone is beautiful. "I never met a diamond I didn't like." No jewel is as beautiful as a cat's eyes. Madam Bijoux (Gabrielle)

The question is, how minimized is it visually? I think your oval looks beautiful! It has a bowtie region like they all do, but it is not distracting and that is what matters. Tell us more about the stone!

minirita Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 11/8/2007 Member Since: 11/6/2007	Thank you ! More about the stone? Mmm.... It's an engagement ring . Actually, we were searching for RBs for quite a while, but suddenly decided to get an oval one since I thought there were too many RBs , and ovals looked bigger and more elegant. It's a quick buy without too much knowledge on ovals. So I'm not sure about the cut quality of this stone(no cut grade on cert.) It's GIA certified, 1.05 carat, L/W=1.38 ( the shape is pleasing to me:),polish and symmetry are very good.

It is 2 carats, in fancy diamonds bow ties r very common. Mine does not bother me at all. It depends on the lighting, there are times its there and ooops it is not, lol. See close up below.
