Strong fluorescence means a pronounced blue UV glow with elevated risk of visible haziness. In a 2 carat old mine marquise, the elongated body means any effects are spread across a larger visible area. The vintage faceting provides some diffusion, but individual inspection is essential at this fluorescence level and size.
It carries moderate risk. The elongated shape provides more surface for effects to manifest, but the vintage faceting diffuses rather than concentrates any haziness. At 2 carats, some strong fluorescence old mine marquise diamonds look perfectly clean while others show soft milkiness. Always verify before purchasing.
Strong fluorescence typically offers 15-25% savings at 2 carats, which is a meaningful dollar amount. If you find a confirmed clean stone, the old mine marquise's vintage character combined with these savings creates exceptional value. The broader vintage faceting can absorb slight softening better than precision cuts.
When looking for 2 carat natural diamonds, look between 1.9 to 2.2 carats so that you give yourself the best selection which will help find the best value. Searching within this range across different strong fluorescence options gives you the widest selection to compare cut quality, proportions, and overall value. A well-chosen 2 carat strong old mine marquise natural diamond at the lower end of this range can look identical to one at the exact 2 carat mark while costing less.
