HOW FLUORESCENCE AFFECTS DIAMOND VALUE IN TODAY'S MARKET
When evaluating a diamond, most people focus on the traditional 4Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. But there's another factor that can influence both the appearance and the value of a diamond: fluorescence. Understanding what it is, how it impacts the way a diamond looks, and how the market responds to it can help buyers and sellers make more informed decisions.
WHAT IS DIAMOND FLUORESCENCE?
THE BASICS
Fluorescence refers to the visible light a diamond emits when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. About 25–30% of diamonds naturally exhibit some level of fluorescence, most often a soft blue glow. In rare cases it can appear yellow, green, or orange — but blue is by far the most common.
HOW IT'S GRADED
Fluorescence is measured on a scale by laboratories such as the GIA, ranging from None, Faint, and Medium through to Strong and Very Strong. A diamond graded None will not glow under UV light, while one graded Very Strong may

HOW A DIAMOND'S SHAPE INFLUENCES ITS OVERALL VALUE
When considering the worth of a diamond, most people focus on clarity, color, carat weight, and cut quality. However, one often-overlooked aspect that can significantly impact both market demand and resale price is the diamond's shape. While shape may seem like a purely aesthetic choice, it actually plays a critical role in determining how easily and profitably a diamond can be sold down the line.
(Visit our sell diamond ring page or our sell loose diamonds page to get a free estimate if you are looking to sell.)
WHY SHAPE MATTERS
Different shapes carry varying levels of appeal to buyers, both initially and in the resale market. Some shapes enjoy widespread, enduring popularity while others appeal to more specialized tastes. How many potential buyers are interested in a particular shape directly affects how quickly and at what price you can resell it.
