“For some higher-color stones, fluorescence gives the stone a milky white appearance
, which greatly lowers value.
(International trade magazine Rappaport)
To understand this, we first have to understand what is fluorescence
and how it effects the quality of diamond.
Fluorescence is the property of diamond , which makes it glow when it is kept under
a UV ( Ultra Violet ) light. Fluorescence in a diamond is judged based on the intensity
of the glow when it is kept under a UV light.
The grades for Fluorescence starts with None, which means no Fluorescence and as
the intensity of Fluorescence increases the grades change from Very slight to Very
Strong.
Fluorescence in a diamond is considered an undesirable property. Only None Fluorescence
in a diamond is considered desirable, even the slightest hint of fluorescence lowers
the quality of a diamond. When you decide to buy a diamond that has a higher color
such as D E F (COLORLESS), you should also make sure that the diamond you chose
has flurorescence grade of “ NONE”.
Generally, the higher the quality and price per Carat, the more fluorscence lowers
value. (International trade magazine Rappaport)
