What is Fluorescence ?

Fluorescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a diamond absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light and then emits it as visible light. Some diamonds will fluoresce under UV light, while others do not. The presence of fluorescence in a diamond does not affect the overall look of the diamond.

However, fluorescence can affect the perceived colour of a diamond. For example, if a diamond has a faint yellow fluorescence, it may appear to have a slightly whiter colour in normal lighting conditions. This can be especially noticeable in diamonds that are graded as "near colourless," as the fluorescence can make the diamond appear more colourless.

At Mouza Fine Jewellery, we carefully select diamonds for our jewellery based on a variety of factors, including fluorescence. While fluorescence is not a determining factor in the beauty or value of a diamond, we understand that some customers may prefer diamonds with no fluorescence or only faint fluorescence. Therefore, we offer a range of diamonds with various levels of fluorescence to ensure that we have something for every preference.

On the other hand, if a diamond has a strong fluorescence, it may appear to have a milky or hazy appearance in normal lighting conditions. This can be especially noticeable in diamonds that are graded as "fancy" (e.g. yellow, pink, blue, etc.), as the fluorescence can interfere with the diamond's natural colour.

At Mouza Fine Jewellery, we strive to provide our customers with the highest quality diamonds that meet their individual preferences and needs. Therefore, we offer a range of diamonds with varying levels of fluorescence so that our customers can find the perfect diamond for them.

Overall, the presence of fluorescence in a diamond is not a determining factor in the diamond's beauty or value. However, it is important to note that diamonds with strong fluorescence may be discounted by some buyers, as they may prefer diamonds with no fluorescence or only faint fluorescence.

In conclusion, fluorescence is a natural occurrence in some diamonds that can affect the perceived colour of the diamond.

At Mouza Fine Jewellery, we offer a range of diamonds with various levels of fluorescence to ensure that we have something for every preference.
