What are the different colored lights that certain diamonds emit? Does it make the diamond a bad stone? And why do some diamonds shine in the dark while some don\u0026rsquo;t? You must have often thought about these things when thinking about buying a diamond. But never knew the right answers. We\u0026rsquo;ve put together all the important information and\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003etips about diamond fluorescence\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;here. These will answer most of your questions.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is fluorescence?\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFluorescence is a diamond\u0026rsquo;s propensity to emit colored glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. Diamonds can fluoresce in a variety of colors \u0026ndash; blue, yellow, green, orange and white \u0026ndash; but blue is the most common. Roughly, about 30 to 50% of all diamonds fluoresce to some degree. How does it happen? When exposed to invisible ultraviolet light, many diamonds luminesce and emit visible light. This light could be of different colors and varying strengths.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gemological Institute of America describes five levels of diamond fluorescence: none, faint, medium, strong and very strong. The strength of fluorescence does not directly correlate to either color or clarity. Hence, it is possible for two diamonds with completely different clarity and color grades to exhibit exactly the same strength of fluorescence.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.growndiamondcorp.com/\"\u003eLab grown diamond\u0026nbsp;\u003c/a\u003efluorescence is caused by submicroscopic structures within the crystal. Blue fluorescence is most commonly associated with the presence of nitrogen atoms aligned in specific arrays within the carbon lattice. Most diamonds that exhibit strong blue fluorescence appear a bit hazy in regular light.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eIs fluorescence good or bad?\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn most cases, fluorescence is just an identifying characteristic and not a performance feature. Hence, it is neither considered to be bad or good. But this question requires further exploration.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFluorescence should be considered as a defect in certain cases. When the fluorescence is too strong, it makes the\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"https://www.growndiamondcorp.com/blog/types-of-lab-grown-diamonds/\"\u003elab made diamond\u0026nbsp;\u003c/a\u003eappear cloudy. As a result, its transparency and eye appeal decrease. It makes the lab grown diamond hazy. In such a case, it is considered bad.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases it is considered good. Medium to strong blue fluorescence tends to mask yellow body color so diamonds in the lower color range appear a shade whiter in lighting environments with sufficient ultra violet rays. In these cases it is considered good.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA number of recent studies have demonstrated that the fluorescence effect is diminished if the distance from the light source is increased. In most normal indoor viewing circumstances the distance from the light source is too great to bring out the fluorescence effect of the diamond. Therefore, the idea that the appearance of diamonds in lower colors is improved by fluorescence is largely false, making fluorescence neither good nor bad.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003ePossibility of over grading of color\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSomething of prime concern in the recent years has been the possibility of over grading of color of diamonds. Laboratory color grading is done in light environments that contain UV light and the grading is done with the\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003elab grown diamond\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;in close proximity to the UV light source. This could affect the true color leading to higher color grading of these diamonds.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have found problems in color grading accuracy of \u003cstrong\u003ediamond fluorescence\u003c/strong\u003e. One study revealed: If the grade on the report is higher than the real color and the appearance of the diamond does not benefit from the fluorescence under normal observation because of distance from the light source, then these diamonds actually look worse than the grade would indicate. Fluorescence can be considered bad in this case.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eDiamond Fluorescence history\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier, blue-white diamonds with strong blue fluorescence were highly prized. They were diamonds in the colorless range with strong blue fluorescence and did not have any harmful visual effects. The term Blue White came to be used for diamonds that prominently displayed the milky effect. They were referred to as over blues, a term that is still used by the\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003ediamond industry.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eToday, diamonds, mostly in the colorless range, are devalued based on fluorescence levels. In certain cases diamonds with strong fluorescence are discounted by 15% or more. Over the years there have been cycles of interest in highly fluorescent diamonds, but in the modern market many buyers are cautious about it.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eToday, fluorescence is perceived in some negative ways:\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n1. It is assumed that the milky effect seen in strong fluorescence diamond is present because the diamonds are not of the best quality.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n2.

It involved three groups of observers: laboratory graders, jewelry trade members, and average observers. The diamonds were observed in a variety of specific lighting environments.

Non-trade observers could not make meaningful distinctions in the diamonds.
