Diamond Fluorescence

Certified Diamonds – Diamond Fluorescence

Diamond ‘fluorescence’ refers to the soft coloured glow a diamond emits in the presence of long-wave ultraviolet light.

Chemical characteristics in the mineral composition of the diamond cause this reaction.

Some limited types of fluorescence can negatively impact a diamonds value, for example, strong yellow fluorescence although this is very rare. However, most gemmologists agree that fluorescence is of little consequence to the value of a diamond.
