Fluorescence
Some diamonds emit visible light when subjected to ultra-violet
radiation.
The strength of the fluorescence is graded as None, Faint, Medium,
Strong
and Very Strong. The higher degree of fluorescence the lower the
quality
and the cheaper the diamonds become. We never recommend, and try
not to
stock diamonds with any degree of fluorescence. Diamonds that
have a
strong or very strong fluorescence can appear to be cloudy or
milky in a
standard lighting and viewing environment.
