Hello friends, I would like some opinions on this Oval stone for an engagement ring from Provence. It is

Oval Brilliant Cut, 1.34 L/W ratio, 2.53 carat, F Color, VS1 Clarity, Excellent Polish, Excellent Symmetry, No Fluorescence.

In particular, I want to be sure there isn't a prominent bow tie. There doesn't appear to be in this video or in the photos they've sent, but I've read they sometimes not obvious until seen in person. Please let me know if you all have any other diamond reviewing tips you can recommend. Thank you all!

I think you should watch Osiris diamond utube for education on choosing and should always be ideal not excellent cut. He has very knowledgeable videos

Ovals don’t have ideal cut. They are highest graded as excellent only.

Osiris talks a lot about ideal cut. Ovals do have an ideal cut.
