<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 435167, member: 5833"]Last night I did a little more playing around & pulled out a small case of jewellery I had not examined with the UV light yet. Most things just went purple. Noticed the little diamond in my mother's engagement ring stayed fairly white looking. But then suddenly there was this little bright baby blue stone in the center of my step-grandmother's engagement ring. My initial reaction was that my grandfather must have been scammed, that the stone is not a diamond. Who knew some diamonds fluoresce, due to boron content.? OK, I know a few of you did. But it was news to me. Somewhere I have an appraisal for it. I don't recall it saying anything about fluorescence. Will have to find it to get an idea of whether the fluorescence is desirable or not. Seems it depends on the stone's 4 Cs & the opinion of the particular jeweller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
