D VS1 medium blue fluorescence or E VS1 no fluorescence

[Michael Prager]

Everything else being almost equal which would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest you find a way to see both diamonds and let your own eyes do the talking...

I love fluorescence and don't understand why it doesn't cost extra when it is so very neat-o.

I would go for the E, no fl. You will save a lot of $ and I am just old school… I don’t believe in anything beyond faint fl in colorless stones. It will always be debatable and I believe devalues the D stone and what’s the point of a D if it is viewed in that context should you want to sell/trade it at some point throughout the years.

Color grades out of my touch~

Some good advises already. Agreed see them in person.

Just for me, E colour if I do have a plan in mind to resell sometime; and D if no reselling plan, it's not hazy and I can appreciate the colour difference~

D VS1 with medium blue fluorescence or E VS1 with no fluorescence?

No need to open multiply threads on the same subject. It just makes it confusing. You haven't given people very much to go on
so you're probably not going to get a lot of feedback on this one.

When I first started buying diamonds in 1975, long after I started buying colored gems, I would have to pay a premium for colorless diamonds that had a nice bluish look out of doors without looking milky or "fuzzy".

In the late 70's, when the investment craziness was in full stride, people who were selling ladies shoes one week were selling investment diamonds from telephone sweatshops. (You would get a call and here the background of several other people speaking.)

They did not know anything about diamonds except what was on their scripts. Since Fluorescence could be bad or good, it was determined that all fluorescence was bad as no one was going to spend the money to call them in and inspect them for their clients, especially when they were all in sealed plastic containers to, "prevent switching, you warrantee is void if this package is opened." The stigma stuck, and what I once paid a premium for can now be purchased at a discount.

Over the years, I occasionally get a call to inspect some "treasures" from my dad's/mom's estate. The prices charged for those poorly cut "investment" diamonds were so outrageous that even now, forty some years later, I cannot get the price paid for the diamonds back for the inheritors of the estates.

P.S. I too love fluorescence and I wear a P colored diamond with fluorescence. It looks incredible because of the cut.
