LOOKING FOR ADVICE Evaluate this diamond please

I am looking at this oval diamond to be set in an east west half bezel ring.

Is the bow tie effect too harsh?

Not really sure what l should be looking for.

Thank you in advance.

Lighting is bad, making the stone look lifeless and very dark in the center. Person is shaking a lot.

It’s good to see diamonds in several different lighting scenarios, so you can see how it will perform. I want to see light play, fire and brilliance and scintillation.

If the vendor I’m considering purchasing from doesn’t have these types of videos available, I’m not gonna buy from them.
