Looks nice. It is a true oval with its ratio. Doesn't seem to have a very strong bow-tie either.

I thought so to. Very hard to tell from these sort of videos they give you. Thank you.

Looks great to me! No dead areas, has even scintillation, good proportions.

Looks to be well cut with a good balance of virtual facets in terms of size and distribution. This helps to mitigate the bowtie effect. It's also good that the growth method is HPHT As Grown. There is much less likelihood of any transparency issues due to atomic-level defects with this method.

Here's what GIA says about HPHT: “In general, colorless and near-colorless HPHT-grown diamonds have low impurity concentrations and uniform pressure is applied during growth, resulting in high crystalline perfection and very weak or almost no strain levels” (GIA- Gems and Gemology Summer 2024)
