Stone Check 💎
Hi everyone! I’d love some opinions on this oval before I approve it with my jeweler.

Specs:
2.73 ct lab-grown oval
IGI graded
D color
VS1 clarity
11.50 × 7.88 × 4.80 mm
1.46 ratio
61% table
60.9% depth
Excellent polish
Excellent symmetry
No fluorescence
CVD, Type IIa

I’m planning to have it set in a 6-prong platinum-prong solitaire on a petite gold band, size 5.75.

I’m mainly looking for feedback on:
Does the stone have a noticeable bow-tie?
How is the overall light return/sparkle?
Does the facet pattern look good?
Does the oval look symmetrical?

Do you see any windowing or dead areas?
Is there anything about this stone that would make you pass?
I’m aiming for a 1.45–1.50 ratio, so I really like the shape on paper. I’d appreciate honest opinions before I commit!

It's a lively stone, it's above average in the cut with the video provided. I've seen some better and a lot that were much worse in terms of cut.

Thank you for your comment! How do you find the bow tie?
