Diamond Fluorescence Revisited: What Consumers Need to Know.
We have recently received many questions from consumers pertaining to the effects of fluorescence on a diamond's face-up appearance. There is still much confusion, uncertainty, and just plain mis-information being disseminated by fellow tradespeople as well as "internet forum lay-experts" on this subject. Fluorescence in diamonds is mistakingly thought to be all bad. This is not the case.
We therefore deem it helpful to all of you consumers to once again post a link to THE definitve study done on this subject back in 1997 by GIA scientists. This experiment is an excellent case-study on how to properly conduct a study with proper scientific protocol and procedure and will certainly bring particular joy and satisfaction to Engineers and fellow scientists for the way this experiment was conducted.
The results obtained by GIA scientists will startle and surprise you.
