Ep. 83 - Diamond Fluorescence: How Excited Electrons Can Save You Money and Light Up the Dance Floor
Manage episode 424564163 series 2442434
In this episode, I'll discuss diamond fluorescence, a topic that is rarely talked about. I'll explain what fluorescence is in my own words, and how it affects the appearance and value of a diamond. I'll also address the question of whether fluorescence is a "good or bad" thing and per usual, how the ultimate answer to that question comes down to personal preference. You'll learn a few things about this lesser-known aspect of diamond buying.
Takeaways
- Fluorescence refers to the discharge of light that occurs when a diamond is exposed to ultraviolet light.
- Approximately 25-30% of diamonds exhibit some degree of fluorescence.
- Fluorescence can cancel out the yellowish tint in near colorless diamonds, making them appear whiter.
- Fluorescence can lower the price of diamonds, making them a bargain for some buyers.
- Personal preference is key when deciding whether fluorescence is desirable in a diamond.
If you’re “that guy or girl,” that people should hear from because you know your sh*t about a certain subject, please reach out to me, and let’s talk about how we can work together.
