Hi pricescope family!! I don't know much about oval diamonds but I think I see a bowtie effect? Am I right?? Or do all ovals have some bowtie effect? Please lmk your thoughts about this diamond!

Hi @JulietteFR

So, what do you consider a bow-tie?

In the professional diamond cutting world, a bow-tie is a facet(s) that remains dark through the center for an extended period.

In the consumer world, many people consider any bow-tie-shaped area through the center (regardless of how it lights up) a bow-tie.

So technically, is that a bow-tie? Probably not. Hard to tell from a few pics. Will some people consider it a bow-tie? Probably yes.

Edit...on second view of the photos, I would say that is not technically a bow-tie.

Thanks so much for your input! My fiancé gave me the option to change the main stone for a different oval D color SI if if did not love this one (F VS1), and I really love my ring, so did not want to unless there was something obviously not ideal about this one

I think it looks pretty good in those images, though would need video and better pictures to really tell. But there’s nice edge to edge brightness and I don’t see much hazy dead areas or dullness which you can see if ovals that are poorly cut.
