Got sent these 3 stones for us to consider choosing, and I have made it fervently clear that I want a stone with VERY minimal bow tie and a lot of fire. I feel like I am going a bit crazy, but don’t all of these have a pretty noticeable bow tie? I sent a lot of inspo of real life stones I’ve seen with minimal bow tie, yet they keep coming to me with these types of stones. Am I being unreasonable? I can also include a video of an example of what the perfect stone looks like for me, but it’s also posted on my page already bc I had posted them before. I would appreciate everyone’s advice.

Was interested in having a ring made by a local jeweler, however I feel like after receiving the quote, I think it might be overpriced. I want it set in a regular tulip cathedral setting and for it to be two toned White and Yellow gold. Super simple, no side stones or pave. The stones I was looking at were 2.5 and 3ct which are in the video above. I believe they were both F color and VVS2. They’re asking for $6200 for the 3ct, for everything. Is that overpriced or regular for a stone this size? Appreciate any feedback!

Debating on buying this OMC but it’s final sale and I’m afraid I won’t like it. It’s beautifully cut, and truly looks like there’s only a minimal bow tie effect. One of the few labs I’ve seen that kind of capture the essence of a mined OMC. I also want to set in a yellow gold setting, so I’m wondering if anyone has an idea of what that could look like in a stone like this. (Repost bc I forgot to include the video

Went into our jeweler today bc he got two ovals sent in for me to look at. Both Color G, one leaning closer to an H (I like a slightly warmer color) and I am leaning toward the one that’s higher in color. However I am a bit worried about the bow ties. Are they too noticeable?
