GOG AVC w/ "very strong" flouresence?

[ErinnM34]

Just found this stone & loved it-but was a bit concerned about "very strong" listed in the specs. I've searched and found info on "faint" to "strong" generally saying it's not noticeable except perhaps in direct sunlight, and even then its a matter of personal preference. I was unable to find anything on "very strong" or what this might mean for the diamonds appearance. If anyone has input, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm thinking you better snatch that up! an over 1 carat VS clarity AVC with strong fluor? I want one!! My diamond has faint which really means not at all and my #1 regret in my diamond is I didn't get one with fluor for those times you're at the glow in the dark indoor mini golf and you just gotta show it off in the black light.... lol Seriously- he's got it under his lifetime guarantee, it's going to be gorgeous.

It looks like a *gorgeous* stone. Fluorescence is subjectively graded, which means that one grader's "medium" might be another's "strong" - it's the sort of thing I'd advise seeing in person to see if it bothers you.

Personally, I LOVE fluorescence (this is, like, my pet hobby horse) and see it as a bonus. It can brighten lower-color stones, and when it's visible in the sunlight, it is astonishingly beautiful. There's a thread called "Do Not Fear Very Strong Blue Fluor" or something like that, lemme see if I can find it ... ah, here it is!

Just tell me that doesn't look cool ....

Ditto - my only regret about my engagement ring is that my diamond has no fluorescence. Some day I'll get a colorless diamond with strong or very strong blue fluor!

Get it! It's a gorgeous stone, and I love fluor. I have a D color RB w/ SB (see avatar) that I adore - and I wish my AVC had fluor too!

It's one of my very favorite AVCs (I have one as well) so you have to promise to come back with photos! I just love the shape and the VSB fluor.

OH I will! I've been a long-time lurker and look forward to my first "show me the bling" post!!!

PS- we're talking to Brian Gavin about a slightly modified version of one of his fishtail pave settings- I think the combo would be amazing
