@aaryahjewelry: Don’t be afraid of a diamond’s bow tie or that word! While some bow tie effect can be acceptable and work with the overall beauty of a diamond, excessive darkness or a very pronounced bow tie can detract from the diamond's beauty and value ☀️ ~ This is why it’s important to examine each diamond (bow ties don’t show up on GIA certs!) individually and consider its overall beauty and appeal rather than solely focusing on the presence of a bow tie.
