My center stone is an oval... or it was when it was purchased 30+ years ago (it is an heirloom) but it has squarish corners, and especially the way I have had it set, it looks more cushion-y, but it is technically an oval.

Hi Maxwelfish

Welcome to Pricescope. That is a lovely ring. mrssalvo, thanks for posting my ring!!!

I think the ovel is such a pretty shape and all the rings are beautiful! The only thing is- the bow tie. I know there is nothing that canbe done about it but it would bug the carp out of me

 

[Kaleigh]

MMM,
I searched high and low for my sidestones because I didn''t want them to have a bow tie. But maybe in larger stones that is more difficult, I just don''t know.

 

[happysnowbunny]

What does that mean, a bowtie?

 

[sevens one]

(I think) this is a picture of a bowtie effect.
(the dark middle area)

Here''s another shot.
Bowties are not necessarily a bad thing. You just have to decide if you can live with it.

Here's what GOG says about bowties

Every fancy shape except for your squares and trillion cuts have what's called the "bow-tie" effect. Because the pavilion angles around the fancies vary, this produces a "bowtie" effect in marquises, pears, ovals, and hearts. How noticeable the bowtie is depends on how deep or how shallow the pavilion is cut on that stone. All these shapes have bowties to some degree. Some are more faint and some are more noticeable, but if the bowtie turns you off don't get these shapes!

 

[madrock]

The bowtie doesn''t bother me at all. And mine is more "silver" than black, and doesn''t show unless you tilt the ring, actually looking for it.
