Medium Blue Fluorescence on G Diamond

[omegga]

Hello!

I have read many times by now that a "Medium Blue Fluorescence" on a H or lower color diamond can actually enhance the appearance and give an extra crisp to the stone, my question now, how about Medium Blue on a G stone? Same effect or danger of making the stone milky?

I have an example:

There should be no chance of milkiness in a medium fluoro diamond. Many people can't tell the difference between D and G anyway, so there is no boost in color from the fluoro phenomenon.

i just looked at mine today, my MB G looks pretty much same as the F. I did not notice any blue under sunlight too. WIll try to take a photo and post here when i get home.

btw, no milkiness on mine too.

from what i researched so far, there's higher risk of milkiness on strong and very strong blue stones.

Are you going to be able to see the stone in person?

The only thing I like better is a F, E or D and strong rather than Medium blue.
it is possible for a Med stone to have some milkyness, but very unlikely, rare infact.
The stone is potentially a lower color if the UV from the grading lamp was screened out, however I like the amount of UV that GIA now has in its environment because it is not as much as in most very well lit places like out doors. The stone may appear funny in direct sunlight - but all well cut stones do - so look in shaded daylight - for the strongest effect a slightly cloudy summers day, or in direct sunlight use the shadow your own body casts. You may see some blue that is reflected from blue sky.

i can't see the stone in the link?

I recently called in a diamond with similar specs, a G diamond with medium blue fluorescence. It's a shame. I ended up returning it due to the milkiness and very strong blue appearance. What was on the cert is different than what I saw.

I think your stone was probably priced azure a bargain?
There are not many real bargains and many traps. Hazy med blue does happen.

The diamond was a branded cut, so unfortunately the ps vendor would not discount it which is strange since the florescence impacted this particular stone greatly. 10% discount minimum I would expect. With that in mind, I am looking at alternate stones within their inventory.

With all the appropriate markups, the price for the specs of the stone using https://www.pricescope.com/diamond-prices , http://gemguide.com/appraisals-reference-guide/ and even rapaport indicate the price should have been slightly lower, IMO.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a stone with florescence as it does offer the consumer a slight discount.
When spending thousands of hard earned dollars, anything helps.
