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. In rare cases, fluorescence can appear in colors like yellow, green, or orange, but blue is by far the most common.
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

In the ever-evolving jewelry market, retailers are constantly searching for ways to enhance their product offerings while maximizing their profit margins.

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.
(BTW, 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. 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.

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. Historically, jewelers, estate buyers, pawnbrokers, and collectors relied heavily on local or regional markets to sell their diamonds. This local focus often came with pronounced limitations—capped market size, narrow buyer pools, and less competitive pricing. However, in the age of seamless connectivity, selling diamonds online, particularly through reputable buyers and firms based in major diamond trading hubs like New York City, has emerged as a compelling alternative. 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.
For industry players—whether you’re a jewelry retailer, estate dealer, manufacturer,
