Hi Everyone. My mother is getting a diamond pendant for my fiance and we've been convinced that going the med/strong blue fluorescence route is the way to go to give some pizzazz to the necklace.
I contacted Brian Gavin's shop, where I previously purchased my fiance's diamond to look at options for a non-milky, hazy, non-performance degrading strong blue fluorescent diamond from his blue line.
The response I got is making me confused because the person said that you can't really see the blue color unless you put it under strong UV light. I countered those points by saying that UV light is present in the sun so that you should be able to see it if you're outside. The claim she pretty much made is that it's going to be very very difficult to see (if I even see it at all). I made another argument based on the pictures that have been posted on pricescope (pretty damn blue if you ask me), but she stated that it's most likely a picture effect and it won't look nearly as blue in person.
So my question is this......what do you think about what was stated above. And second, do you have to get super strong blue fluorescence to see this when you are outside? I'm not expecting this diamond to look like the blue on the pricescope banner but a light tint of blue would be nice under outdoor conditions (and in conditions where you don't actually shine an artificial UV light source on it).
I've read through most if not all topics on blue fluorescence from Brian Gavin's site and pricescope and I am still confused. If anyone can provide me with their thoughts on this I would appreciate it. Thank you.
