Okay, I am a little freaked out and need some advice from the pros especially those lovers of fluorescence. I think that I am a fluorescence lover as well, but I''m not sure anymore after this one and only experience in buying a diamond. I finally bought a stone 1.7 H SI1, table 56 CA 34.5 PA 41 depth 62.4... and was really excited about it.... I was aware of the RARE negative effects of fluorescence and took the gamble with a "strong fluorescence" GIA ex ex ex thinking that the cert might help with peace of mind. I love the look of diamonds posted with a clear blue glow... Anyway, long story short, I received the diamond and it is completely murky in sunlight, could it be misgraded and should it be a "very strong" fluorescence stone? I have seen others that remain crystal clear and have a blue or purple tint but this one almost becomes speckled and opaque. It is an eye clean SI1 with nothing on the table (eye clean according to the vendor but we can see 2 small crystals off to the side)...in these photos though, in sunlight, it transforms into something speckled and opaque.... my question is, as I continue my search, is this the rare haziness that can appear in a stone with strong fluorescence? If I like the clear blue appearance of other PSers photos of their diamonds with fluorescence do I continue to look for a diamond with fluorescence. Is it unlikely that I see this same effect in another diamond in sunlight? Should I buy medium fluorescence? Please comment on my pictures and provide any feedback. I was really excited to be finished shopping and am now starting from scratch...
my budget is 11-12 K if you have any suggestions for me
