The Effect: BOW-TIE

The Effect: BOW-TIEThe Bowtie Effect pertains to a darkness that can be seen in some Fancy shaped diamonds. To name few fancy shaped diamonds such as Marquise, Pear and Oval. As the figure entails, the darkness appears like a bowtie, observed crossways the center of the diamond, or east to west when facing down on the diamond’s table. This can have a veto affect on the largely attractiveness of the diamond, but it is not essentially so.

It is in general understood that the bowtie effect is induced by an escape of light in fraction of the diamond. This is only to some extent precise. What really cases the bowtie effect is the screening of light by the human head. By merely facing at the diamond, you will be forgetting some of the light that can go into it and be brought back to your eyes.

The barring of light is however one cause for the bowtie effect. A new reason clarifies why some diamonds have a gloomy bowtie than others. This is where the facet, pavilion and table angles come in to act. When these are all leant and balanced fittingly, the bowtie effect will be curtailed, as the light is pondered and determined within the diamond so as to disseminate the part that is in shadow.
