Flouresence Concern

[me1234]

I recently saw a 2 ct H Si1 that I liked, however, it had med blue flouresence. While this didn''t look bad at the time, and I''ve heard it makes Hs look whiter, I have been since told that flouresence will show up in bar/club type settings that may have black lights around. Is this a major concern? Has anyone seen how this looks in a diamond with flouresence? It doesn''t sound too positive in my opinion.

Thanks

Matter of preference, of course, but when I go to a place where I expect to find blacklights, I always wear my fluorescent diamond rather than my nonfluor.

Why? Because that blue glow is SO COOL!!!!!!

I would not buy a stone *without* blue fluor. They look more "plugged in".

Good luck. Just be sure to view the stone in various lighting including direct sunlight.

Best way to spot a diamond between fakes under fluo light : if it
has fluo, its a diamond..

For many people in the industry, fluo (up to strong blue) makes diamonds
lovely.... and they're also cheaper.

Don't be scared to buy this diamond..unless its very strong bluo fluo,
you dont have to bother.

Trichrome.

My diamond has a med. to strong blue flouresence and it's an H, but looks more like a D because of the flour.
I strongly recommend a diamond with flouresence! It's amazing looking when compared to one without flour.

I ended up buying a 1.5 ct E VS with med blue flour. It's electric. Although 99% of the time, it's imperceptible, the times that you do notice it (fresh snow, bright sun), it almost starts glowing. It's a magical little stone that becomes otherworldly.

For all the people out there that have bought into the idea that flourescence = inferior quality, FREE YOUR MIND!

It adds a mystique and personality to the diamond that you would not otherwise get. (the hope diamond has red flourescence that has added to it's legend).

I will never purchase another diamond without it.
