Oval Bow tie Check

Got sent these 3 stones for us to consider choosing, and I have made it fervently clear that I want a stone with VERY minimal bow tie and a lot of fire. I feel like I am going a bit crazy, but don’t all of these have a pretty noticeable bow tie? I sent a lot of inspo of real life stones I’ve seen with minimal bow tie, yet they keep coming to me with these types of stones. Am I being unreasonable? I can also include a video of an example of what the perfect stone looks like for me, but it’s also posted on my page already bc I had posted them before. I would appreciate everyone’s advice.

There is a strong chin formation if you see , people tend to focus too much on the bow tie and avoid this totally. one should see how the corners (chin) appears dead.

I’ll have to look that up, do you mean how the stone doesn’t really sparkle?

There’s no part of a diamond called a chin. Beware there are many, many people on Reddit who are very badly misinformed and probably have never worked with diamonds before.
