1.13 Strong blue Florescent Diamond

[gyrly78]

I know that when we were looking at diamonds, we kept hearing and reading that strong blue fluorescence, especially in any stone where the color is better than a K or L will look cloudy or oily. That's why a lot of diamonds with strong blue fluorescence are actually cheaper than ones without it because it is considered a "flaw" in the diamond. However, when my (now) fiance were looking at diamonds, we LOVED the look of fluorescence in a diamond and were determined to have one! We did our research, trust me, and it was SUPER worth it!
The stats of the Diamond are:
1.13 Carat
G Color
VS2 Clarity
Ideal Cut
Excellent Polish
Excellent Symmetry

I wanted to let people know that fluorescence in a diamond is NOT a bad thing! I don't know why jewelers are so against it. We could not find a single one in town when we were looking, our only option was to order it online because all jewelers said that they wouldn't carry fluorescent diamonds in their store...anyway, enough talking...

Here are some pics!

Gongrats of Your beautiful diamond! When I searched my stone, I seriously considered BG' s Blueline 1.33 L color. I ended to OEC from JbEG and it does't have fluorecence (unfortunately). A couple of months ago I purchased three stone OMC ring from Grace and one of these stones has strong fluorecence. And really; that stone is the coolest of the three. It really glows!

Enjoy Your glowing beauty

LOVE that SB fluorescence!! I'm a huge fan of that super cool effect - I was fortunate to find a few fluorescent stones in some of my bands and I love to flash my UV light at them!! Enjoy the glow


Lovely setting, too - please do post more pics!

Beautiful!!! Don't you hate that lies are told like that about fluorescent diamonds?! I had a G VS1 diamond with SBF before I upgraded my diamond and I loved it! In fact, I prefer it whenever possible! I love that it saves money to buy a fluorescent stone. I guess the ignorance out there can work to the advantage of those of us who love it!

Thank you guys for loving my stone as much as I do! The setting is the Jeff Cooper Naomi setting. I don't have a lot of pocs that show the setting as well, but here is a pic directly from Jeff Cooper!

Gorgeous. A diamond with strong or extreme blue fluorescence is on my want list.

Congrats on your diamond!!! I love how a strong blue turns into the lightest blue diamond in strong sunlight. Your setting is beautiful as well.

Strong blue can be so beautiful. If you read the GIA study
http://www.gia.edu/doi/10_5741-GEMS_33_4_244

it will tell you that very few diamonds with fluorescence will exhibit overblue.

Congrats!! Looks like you found a beautiful blue diamond.

I have a medium blue that I love. I looked at it in the sunlight the other day, and it looked like someone had tinted it blue. It was clear and blue. No haziness or oiliness. Love it.
