This is very interesting Paul.
It could be a suggestion for all super ideal cut diamonds sellers (you and the others) to give an honest opinion on the presence of fluorescence in each diamond because we can't relay on the grading reports. I know you are all sincere when saying that the appearance of a diamond you are selling is not impacted, but it will help consumers to make an informed decision because the market today is still pricing this particularity. An Asian friend of mine sets and sells diamonds here in Brussels, he checks every diamond for fluo even if not mentioned in the report. He rejects them because it is his believe that fluorescence is bad. So imagine if a super ideal cut diamonds seller disappear from the market, and you just bought a D color that is really fluorescent but not mentioned on paper. It will be very difficult to sell without a big loss.
What happens if one of the diamonds you are selling is D color GIA none or AGS negligible but when you check it is medium fluo?
Do you adjust the price accordingly, or do you consider yourself lucky?
I saw 2 examples recently (and not CBI diamonds) of people who were surprised to see this feature, that means they were not informed.
