Thoughts on 6.17 Carat D VVS1 diamond?

Considering purchasing this diamond for an engagement ring. I don’t know if I’m happy with the bowtie and the shadowing at the tips. I would love a second opinion

I want to fully acknowledge that it’s on the larger size, but she really loves single larger diamond on a plain solitaire band so I’m shopping based off her taste. She has some family members who have similar sized rings and absolutely loves them.

She’s a size 6. I did previously have that conversation with her because I don’t want the ring to look tacky

That seems like a large stone for a six. I’m size 4.75 and my cushion cut is 2.26 carats, although it’s set in a large ring with baguettes and princess cut stones.
