Hi,
Newbie poster but wanted to give back and share the results of my lurking for the last few months. Also wanted to post pics because there is so much confusion with regard to diamond fluorescence (it was to me at least) and a relative lack of pictures to look at. While this is a sample size of one it is at least one more data point to add for people to consider when they are making their decisions. (I posted a similar entry in another pricescope forum but it may not have been the right one)
FYI both my fiancé and I love the diamond.
Some quick specs:
GIA Graded Cushion modified brilliant. 1.0 form factor
1.50 ct, H color, VS1 (a few crystals and a small cloud under the table, a few naturals, indented naturals on the edges) no feathers or twinning.
Polish/symmetry Excellent/very good
Table 60%, Depth 69.8%, no culet, medium to thick girdle
Strong Blue fluorescence.
Some notes:
- Extremely bright white looking diamond in diffuse and combination lighting with excellent fire and scintillation IMO.
- If looking directly top down at the table with strong backlighting there looks to be some leakage in the corners of the table but these spots look very bright in strong diffuse lighting. I think this is not uncommon. The diamond shows all sorts of colors in the top down non fluorescent view primarily as it's picking up all the green and yellows of plants etc in my backyard.
- Blue fluorescence only visible under direct sunlight not shaded sunlight and varies with time of day and amount of haze in the atmosphere. The pictures I show are at noon sun under extremely clear skies. This is as blue as it gets (plus it is likely reflecting some of the blue sky directly back to the observer as well). The non fluorescent pictures are when I shade the sun with a paper towel. Amount of blueness clearly depends on viewing angle.
I might be tempted to say that there is some very slight 'haziness' in the last magnified photo but if there is it's completely unnoticeable to the naked eye and I really don't think it's 'haze' at all, just blueish color and one can see quite clearly through one of the lower girdle facets and it looks completely clean to me.
Absolutely love the blue fluorescence in this diamond and makes it all the more unique for my fiancé.
Hope that these pictures help!
