So cute! But, sooo expensive!
 
Recently acquired, half carat-ish old mine with white fluorescence. The white glow, is much more visible in person. Small OEC with Strong blue fluo for comparison.
I thought it was pretty neat, gives out a ghostly white glow.

Oh! I have one to share too! She was purchased a few years ago and weighs in around a half carat as well, low in color and what appears to be a yellow fluoresce. While she's not the cleanest diamond, the fire she throws is something special. Here are my best attempts to capture what I see.1000002636.jpg1000002658.jpg1000002655.jpg
 
I don't remember if I posted my old cut, open culet kite ring. Even the setting looks like an alien ship. I don't know anything about it other than coming from an estate in Florida. 20250705_171134.jpg20250705_170919.jpg20250705_170406.jpg20250705_171142.jpg20250705_170903.jpg

How are these portrait cuts? They appear barely translucent.

The GIA reports say portrait cut. Likely due to the flatness and not related to the transparency. I wonder if a flat black diamond would be called a portrait cut?
I've seen several examples of GIA giving unintuitive cut grades, but can't think of any right now.

Do you think the medium green fluoro would actually affect how it looks in most lighting conditions?

Honestly medium fluor almost never matters. But ill defer to experts on this one
 
Very strong fluoro. If I could buy this and still afford the other things on my wishlist, I would.

I am so confused. Am I missing something or are you being sarcastic? It seems extremely expensive for a poor quality diamond?

No, im being serious. I've been trying to find an "overblue", "milky" stone for over a year. Theyre surprisingly hard to find, which isgood for most people, since its traditionally considered bad. But I want one because I thunk its really cool

Thank you so much for explaining! I also love a diamond with strong blue fluorescence! I know supposedly it should decrease the value a little bit, but I actually selected my engagement ring diamond specifically to have strong blue fluoro!
Is there something about the I1 clarity that gives it more of a glow with the fluorescence?
Mine is VVS2 and it is really glowy in the sun, but would it have even more of a neon glow if it had more inclusions?
