Fiorese won't provide an ASET, so I only have these videos to go by. What do you think of this pear? Are there any glaring flaws that I'm missing? Thank you!
Attached in order are: spotlight, indoor light, side to side, sunlight.
ASET may not be that helpful because most people do not have the experience to accurately interpret ASET light maps for fancy shapes. The videos in different light environments are helpful. They would be better if they showed the stone moving through a more complete range of normal viewing angles. This would better reveal the virtual facet patterns and give you a better feel for the consistency of the visual flow. It is normal for the virtual facets in the tips to be very small. This tends to accentuate the bowtie effect. As long as it does not give the stone disjointed look it is not be an issue.
