A DIAMOND WITH STRONG BLUE FLUORESCENCE

This is a very good example of what strong blue fluorescence looks like in a diamond. It’s hard to explain to people, but once you see one, it all becomes quite apparent.

This diamond shown below, is GIA certified, and has strong blue fluorescence. Many diamonds with a strong fluorescence will often look cloudy, hazy, or foggy.

Fluorescence is a natural phenomenon that can make a diamond glow-in-the-dark under UV light. And this diamond, will really glow due to the strong grade.

Take a peek:

Now, take a peek at the fluorescence grading scale…

The stronger the grade, the stronger the glow.

It’s a pretty cool trait, that is, until it starts to affect how it looks in normal light. Such as the case above. The entire stone looks blurry. Most people would tend to wipe the stone off, thinking it’s a mist or film, but it’s inside the diamond, and it will be there forever and ever.

This is why I strongly advise to check the fluorescence grade of any diamond before you purchase it. Because even though it has a flawless clarity, high color grade, and triple excellent cut grades, it doesn’t always mean that it will look bigger, better and brighter than a much lower priced diamond.

Check the fluorescence grade!

They always list this on any diamond report. If it’s faint, you probably won’t notice any difference in the diamond’s appearance. But if it’s higher than that, I suggest viewing the diamond in person, to see if it makes a difference to you. It may look fine. Or it may look foggy…
