Would a cushion with a L to W ratio of 1.38 probably have a noticeable bowtie?

Are you STILL looking? Holy crap. You have to see the stone.

MMM

yeah, every now and again I''ll check. This one caught my eye, but because of the LtoW, I thought it might have that dreaded bowtie.

I actually have given up on finding the cushion. Since I am so up in the air on what I really want, I''m just cooling it. But I''d take a 5ct EC. !!!

Don''t think so. It may or may not, but the shape alone is nowhere long enough to worry about off the bat (IMO).

You could have a square one with nasty bow-tie too.

Or a substantially longer stone without any trace of it... depending on the facet pattern of the pavilion, and what not.
