Oval pre-purchase second opinion on bow tie

[diamondlover90]

I'm trying to get better pictures. This was under the bright lamp in the store in indoor lighting. By the window it did not appear to have any darkening in the bow tie region. Specs are: lab grown, 8.34 x 5.95 x 3.74. 1.40 ratio. 62.5 table, 62.9 depth. 1.20 carat, D, VVS1. I don't mind a slight bow tie, just don't want it to be too dark or prominent.

Not this:




FWIW, these are NOT the same diamond, but that is irrelevant to my point.

Oh okay, thanks for that info! I was able to get another picture of the stone closer to that angle. Not sure if this is still “off.” Let me know what you think!
