Size doesn't matter. Usually, there is no discount for a medium blue H VS.... (according to M. Rapaport) (maximum in some cases : around - 2%). Best regards, Trichrome.

Hey thanks - just a quick followup: Is a med blue flour considered helpful (and if yes, then how much) in an ex/ex cut H ? Thanks again!

Fluorescence can be very helpfull in an H stone.... there are some chances it will make the stone a little bit whiter face up.... It won't change anything about the cut : if your diamond is not well cut, fluo won't change a thing about it. Also, fluo makes your diamond unique.... people (like myself) love to see that glow .... it makes your diamond magical.....and easy to spot besides a zirconium.... However, in the industry, strong blue fluorescent diamonds in the DEF color scale get a discount.....why?.... because some people will tell you that these diamonds can get a milky appearance under some types of lights..... bull****.... this phenomenon is very rare...so you can get a pretty diamond like that for a GREAT price..... if you want to be safe, go with medium blue... Hope this helps, Trichrome.

JMHO - I wouldn't buy a stone *without* bl. fluor. Med/strong blue more than likely will make the stone face up whiter. I have a 3c "I" stone w/ med/strong bl. fluor. The stone faces up plenty white & is set in platinum w/ f/g stones beside it. The only valid complaint I have heard about stones w/ strong blue fluor is that in sunlight the stone does take on a purplish "hue". One person found that offensive. I like it. On very rare occassions, the stone may appear milky in sunlight. Make sure you view the stone in sunlight.
