thoughts on flourescense?

[mrsj8610]

Finally I got word from insurance that they are letting me change out the replacement diamond they gave me because I was unhappy with the cut. They found me 2 diamonds I don't know all the stats but one has medium flourescense and one strong flourescense. Thoughts?

I WISH my diamond had florescence! Then I could see it glow at disco bowling

I'm with SweetAsscher on this one. I think it would be an asset, IMO. Be sure you or an appraiser/jeweller has seen it to be certain there is no milkiness in the stone related to the florescence.

I'm also learning that diamonds can fluoresce in different colors....yellow, blue, red, white. If it just states "medium florescence" then it is white...if it states "Medium blue fl." then obviously it is blue which is preferable to me. Would love to have a stone with medium/strong blue florescence.

Yes research it yourself. Jon at GOG (www.goodoldgold.com) has a video on it too...and i love this stone on JBEG with blue flor. She says "hubba hubba" and I agree. I would think that white fl. would also make a stone look whiter as does the blue.

Letting the insurance company "pick" the diamond sounds risky to me. Is it possible that you could send them some diamonds that are the right price range that you KNOW are well cut diamonds? Just wondering. Never had to go through that process before. I know there was a post on here where someone was picking their own diamond that insurance was paying for cause her ring had been stolen.

I like fluorescence.

My OECs fluoresce purple - and it helps them look whiter than they are (they're a J in colour).

The melee in my e-ring and w-band fluoresce all sort of colours - orange, yellow, purple, blue and chalky white. I find it fun.
