Hi there!
I’d like to ask your opinion on this diamond? Does it have terrible bowtie effect?

Do you think you could also request the GIA report for that diamond? Seeing the certificate, I’ll be able to give you well-informed feedback.
Thank you for your response. This is the report.
Thank you.
The diamond looks great on paper, but I’m not a huge fan of the black windowing on its 3 and 9 o’clock. Given its size, those black areas might be very noticeable in person.
Would you like me to recommend a better option? What’s your preferred price range?
That would be amazing if you could recommend another. $21.000 would be the price point.
I found the following options that would look amazing in any setting you choose:

They are very well cut and have minimal bow-tie.
I just noticed that the length and width ratio is 9×6 instead of 9×7. Is that alright? Does it mean its smaller looking?
It’s alright, not all diamonds with the same weight are the same size. The one from JA is a bit smaller on paper, but it wouldn’t be noticeable in reality.
I decided to purchase the diamond you recommended. Thanks for helping me out!
That’s great news!
