Yes, the fluorescent light thing is a bother. I'm waiting to find a good day to test it out in my office, at a couple of malls with fluorescent lights, and a horrible pharmacy with all white fluorescent lights to see how it goes.
So far I've picked up these tips and ideas:
Contrast colours, colour cups, wrapping the gem with foil (shiny and not) to see the way it might look covered up, halos, side stones, gray contrasts, D coloured contrasts... I'm still listening.
Oh and I can't believe I never uploaded the cert for those that like looking at these things. The stat pros can chime in of course. It is NEVER going to look like a vivid or intense pink - but I think it definitely shows up pink in most light... Except in UV where it should be bluish purple. Yet to try.![Up_to_something :Up_to_something: :Up_to_something:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
