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 fluorescence is, how it impacts the way a diamond looks, and how the market responds to it can help buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

What Is Diamond Fluorescence?

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.

Fluorescence is measured on a scale, typically by laboratories such as the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), ranging from None, Faint, Medium, Strong, to Very Strong. A diamond graded as “None” will not

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.

How To Sell Diamonds Online - Your Guide To Smarter Sales

In today’s interconnected global economy, the jewelry and diamond sector is no exception to the sweeping digital transformation altering how products are marketed and sold.

It not only transcends geographical boundaries, granting access to national and international buyers, but also provides better price realization and faster, guaranteed outcomes compared to traditional auction routes.
