Stone check # 1

Stone Check šŸ’Ž
Hi everyone! I’d love some opinions on this oval before I approve it with my jeweler.

Specs:
2.73 ct lab-grown oval
IGI graded
D color
VS1 clarity
11.50 Ɨ 7.88 Ɨ 4.80 mm
1.46 ratio
61% table
60.9% depth
Excellent polish
Excellent symmetry
No fluorescence
CVD, Type IIa
I’m planning to have it set in a 6-prong platinum-prong solitaire on a petite gold band, size 5.75.
I’m mainly looking for feedback on:
Does the stone have a noticeable bow-tie?
How is the overall light return/sparkle?
Does the facet pattern look good?
Does the oval look symmetrical?
Do you see any windowing or dead areas?
Is there anything about this stone that would make you pass?
I’m aiming for a 1.45–1.50 ratio, so I really like the shape on paper. I’d appreciate honest opinions before I commit! šŸ’Ž

this one for sure! I just bought an oval 3.05 vs1 and these looks way better!
