look at my oval! how do you think of the bow tie?

[minirita]

It is F, VS, depth 60.3%, table 59%. I think there is a bow tie IMO, how do you think of it? Is this bow tie ok if the diamond is still brilliant and having a lot of fire in sunshine?

If you love it, that''s all that matters!

Oooh-pretty ring!

I think almost all ovals have a bowtie to some degree-some more than others. 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.

It can be very difficult to avoid bow ties with many fancy shapes, that is a fabulous oval you have there - no worries!!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Almost every fancy shape has a bowtie if you look into it at a certain angle - not a big deal. To me it just looks like a reflection of the shank. Your stone is beautiful.

Thank you for all the inputs. That''s so sweet and makes me feel even better about my stone.

Every single oval, pear, marquise, etc is going to have a bowtie no matter what anyone says. 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!

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.

Your oval is lovely and in different lights u probably will not see it. I just got another diamond and it is an oval. 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.

Yeah, forget the bow tie and enjoy the beauty of the stone, haha !

Beautiful ring, and the bow tie would not bother me in the least.

I love your oval! As everybody has said bow ties are totally normal in fancies so let the sparkles distract you instead. Enjoy your ring and congratulations on your engagement.
