We have bought a diamond with a GIA certificate from Blue Nile that says there is no fluorescence. When I got the diamond home I took it in the sunlight and it appeared to have a slight blue glow. We then put it under a UV light and sure enough it had slight fluorescence. Other than this the diamond is absolutely beatiful but I really wanted one with no fluorescence.
Is this normal for a GIA certificate to say none and there actually be some? Do you know how GIA grades fluorescence (i.e. sliding scale)?
We are considering sending the diamond back, but cannot find anything of similar quality to replace it. What are your thoughts?
