Ditto, also you can't always avoid them altogether, some oval or fancy shape diamonds may show this effect more than others. A diamond which shows a bow tie isn't necessarily badly cut, they can be come with the territory of elongated fancy shapes such as oval, pear, marquise and so on.Date: 3/17/2009 4:28:10 AM

reduces the brightness of the stone under some conditions.
To many variables to say if I would reject a stone totally over it.
It would depend on the extent of it and how far away it disappeared (what degree of head shadow)
I would love to see a picture of the cut you are describing.Date: 3/18/2009 12:58:01 AM

The alternative to this problem is one can polish the Oval diamond with different cut called French Culet (it has 4 pavilion mains). I hope this will help.
