Frequently Asked Questions
Is fluorescence in a diamond good?
Fluorescence in a diamond can be both good and bad, depending on the degree and personal preference. In moderate to strong levels, fluorescence can make a diamond appear whiter, especially under UV light, which can be beneficial for diamonds with lower color grades. However, in some cases, strong fluorescence can cause a diamond to look hazy or milky. It’s important to evaluate each diamond individually to determine if its fluorescence enhances or detracts from its overall appearance.
Are fluorescent diamonds more expensive?
Fluorescent diamonds are not necessarily more expensive; in fact, they can sometimes be less expensive than non-fluorescent diamonds. This is because strong fluorescence is often viewed as a negative trait, especially if it affects the diamond’s transparency and brilliance. However, diamonds with faint to medium fluorescence can sometimes be preferred for their unique glow and ability to enhance the diamond’s color, particularly in lower color grades.
What causes fluorescence in diamonds in GIA?
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) identifies fluorescence in diamonds through a thorough grading process. Fluorescence is caused by the interaction of ultraviolet light with trace elements within the diamond, such as nitrogen. The GIA assesses fluorescence by exposing the diamond to UV light and observing the intensity and color of the glow. This characteristic is noted in the diamond’s grading report.
Do lab-grown diamonds have fluorescence?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds can exhibit fluorescence, just like natural diamonds. The presence and intensity of fluorescence in lab-grown diamonds depend on the specific conditions and trace elements present during their creation. As with natural diamonds, the fluorescence in lab-grown diamonds can range from none to very strong and can vary in color. The impact of fluorescence on the diamond’s appearance should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
