Once a person is looking for a "bow tie" they can likely find it - on the best cut oval.
There's a different sparkle (light performance) in the center of the stone as compared to the tips.
Instead of being a drawback, that's actually the charm of the cut.
You get glittery rainbows in the middle and lots of sparkle at the ends.
I love the way it works on this particular diamond.
