How Does Florescence Affect Yellow Diamonds?

if I had a nickel for every time someone asked this question... I'd have a heckuva lot of nickels!

There's no simple answer actually. There are cases where the fluorescence is easy to see in any lighting environment. In the worst of cases, the fluorescence gives the stone a milky appearance-in diamonds, as opposed to Oreos, there's nothing worse than milky.

Let's eliminate those worst case scenarios, and focus on stones that have what we can call a non detrimental fluorescence- this stone falls squarely into that category.

What happens in this type of case is that the stone has a slightly chameleon-like personality. In direct sunlight, which is high in UV content, the blue kicks in, and the stone looks a bit less yellow. Conversely in normal room lighting- which has a lot less UV content, the stone may look more yellow than it's GIA grade suggests. The feeling in the industry is that GIA is a bit tougher on stones with Medium or Strong Blue fluorescence. You could make a case for it with this stone- which is extremely yellow- even for an intense. Most of the photos are taken in natural lighting which is high in UV content- the two photos directly below were taken in a light box with relatively low UV content.

Let's take a look at this diamond in the dark being hit directly with a UV light- now we can see maximum effect.

One of the most important effects of this phenomenon is on price- especially in the more costly grades. If we are considering a Y-Z, it's already one of the lowest priced diamonds- so the difference between an inert ( no fluorescence) and a strong blue is small.

When we get to a two carat intense yellow, the difference is marked indeed. This stone could easily be another $8000 if it did not have Strong Blue Fluorescence. It's a bargain for this reason- especially as you'll really need to go to a disco, or your neighborhood roller rink to really see this effect.

In every other way, it's a killer, gorgeous stone.

I LOVE the cut- great sparkle- and size for a 2.09. All important is the shape- this one is a perfect heart- lovely cleavage.

Perfectly eye clean VS2.

Now that the diamond is set, the color has seemingly exploded. She looks like a Vivid yellow.

It's an amazing piece. The micro pave utilizing single cut diamonds is very special. In this case the larger sizes were used so that everything remained proportional. The effect is dazzling

What is a "Single Cut"?

When smaller diamonds were first polished they were even simpler than the Single Cut. The diamond is divided by 8 on top and bottom- with a large flat facet on top called the "table".

Here's the basic facet pattern of a single cut diamond

Looking through the diamond you see something like this

This design is the foundation for every Modern Round Brilliant. Below I've sketched in the additional facet lines that give the Modern Round Brilliant diamond 57 facets, versus 17 for the Single Cut.

Where is this ring made?

This ring was manufactured in New York City.

To achieve these results, you need a combination of things. A highly skilled workforce is only the starting point. Specialized tools are required. The reason that the parts join together so well is because the parts were designed, and polished using a microscope..

The methods used for welding involve working in as sterile an environment as possible- while focusing acutely on specific areas using a microscope. This comes into play heavily on a ring of multiple metals, such as this one.
