Urgent worry!!

worrygal Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 2/10/2009 Member Since: 2/9/2009	Dear Friends, I have just bought my 1st diamond and I dunno if I have been cheated by the salesperson. She pursuades me to buy a 0.90 carat J colour diamond with GIA cert, 3 excellent but it is strong blue floures. When I look at the diamond and compare with D / E diamond, the one I bought is just even more colourless. She claims this is the combination effect of J colour and the strong blue. Does it make sense? Would it be rather expensive if it costs me ~USD4.2K? Hope you can answer me!!

I don't know what to say that you notice the J colour is as colourless as your D and E's, I take it the comparison diamonds are GIA graded? If I am understanding correctly I don't think fluorescence can help a J colour look the same or ' better' than a colourless diamond. An appraiser will be able to give you concrete advice on examining the diamond. http://www.pricescope.com/appr_list.aspx Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse.

Many here have the opinion that blue fluorescence is wonderful in the I/J/K stones, making them face up much whiter than their counterparts without fluor. And it makes them much less expensive too. A win/win situation! I happen to LOVE fluorescence in my slightly warm diamonds! My original stone was an I with strong and it is a gorgeous stone!!! Do some searches (search box is in upper right hand of screen) for fluorescence and you'll get lots of hits. Now, the price is something else entirely. I did a search for comparable stones, .90 J VS2-SI1 GIA cert, and the results showed with strong blue fluoro prices being around $2200. So, you paid quite a high price for your stone. However, we're glad you're here and welcome to Pricescope! And "no worries, man!"

I think it has to do with the Fluour but I could be mistaken. The fluour. stones give you a bigger bang for your buck if you like them (as I did)

If it is better cut than the lighter colors you are comparing it to, then it might appear more colorless. However, that being said, the price is high for a J with fluro in my opinion.

When compared with my daughter's D colored stone, they look about the same color. From the side you can see a bit of faint yellow if you are really looking for it, but that's all. And I love the fluorescence! " ~~~If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?~~~"

worrygal Rough Rock Total Posts: 2 Last Post: 2/10/2009 Member Since: 2/9/2009	I am very touched that all of you are so helpful giving me a response in such a short period of time. I have asked two small shops for sale of that diamond. One said ok for $1.4k. Another one said "No. It cannot be sold for money. but you can exchange it with other jade / gems in the shop". Both of them can tell it is a strong blue diamond. One even advises me not to buy another strong blue next time as it is hard for them to sell... At last, I have decided to return to the original shop with 20% off.
