Pick a Natural Diamond

FAQs

Faint fluorescence in a 1 carat natural diamond is essentially invisible in normal wearing conditions. One carat diamonds have been the average size for many decades. At this size, faint fluorescence produces only a very subtle glow under a strong UV lamp in a dark room. In daylight, indoor lighting, and evening settings, you will not notice any effect from faint fluorescence.
No, faint fluorescence does not affect the brilliance of a 1 carat diamond. The UV reaction is too subtle to cause any haziness, milkiness, or reduction in light performance. GIA research confirms that faint fluorescence has no measurable impact on transparency or sparkle. A 1 carat natural diamond with faint fluorescence performs identically to one with no fluorescence.
There is no reason to avoid faint fluorescence in a 1 carat natural diamond. It has zero visible impact on appearance. In warmer color grades (H through J), faint blue fluorescence can provide a barely perceptible whitening benefit in sunlight. Faint fluorescence may also come at a slightly lower price than no fluorescence, offering a mild value advantage with no compromise.
