Re: A touch of rose cut charm :-)
The bracelet looks so light and elegant on your hand. With the rose-cut pear it is truly unique. Is it rose gold? |

Re: just how negligible is negligible?
It's odd that the GIA didn't catch the glow...I always thought fluorescence either is or is not - but perhaps it is subject to interpretation in the way that clarity grades are. On a side note, I have never understood why fluorescent diamonds are worth a bit less. Certainly for the rare diamond whos... |

Re: just how negligible is negligible?
I would think that if it truly has minor fluorescence that it would be marked as "faint". Fluorescence is cool. I look at my settings under black light all the time to find the glowing stones. |

Re: Would you exchange it for a bigger size
Can you see the inclusion with the naked eye? If so, I say pass on the stone switch. If you can't see it, and knowing that it's there won't bother you (mind clean) then switch. IMO, there are all kinds of SI1 stones. Some have very visible inclusions, some have inclusions that are invisible to the e... |

Re: ags vs gia topic...again!
I would run far and fast from any jeweler who said that GIA is better than AGS. Both are good, but AGS provides more info about cut than GIA. I am partial to AGS diamonds; I have two. |

Re: Pear Diamond.. Advice needed
I have a pear diamond and in my opinion the shape and cut of the stone is the most important thing to assess - by eye. When I say shape, I mean is the stone wide/fat or narrow/skinny, are the "shoulders" of the pear nicely rounded or are they squared off? Jessica Simpson's first engagement... |

Re: Bluenile cut grading - Advice please
I'm assuming that your friend the jeweler told you that the lack of fluorescence is the key to finding a beautiful stone. This is nonsense.
