Fluorescence, Shade, Milky & Eye Clean
Another characteristic that does not affect the colour grade of a diamond but is worth keeping in mind is fluorescence This characteristic refers to the diamond’s ability to fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. The most common source of UV is a black light. When exposed to UV light, many diamonds will give off a distinctive glowing blue coloration. Although fluorescence may be displayed in various colours, blue is the most common in diamonds. The fluorescence of a diamond is defined by its intensity as either None, Faint, Medium, Strong, or Very Strong.
Shade
Colour (shade) of a diamond refers to the amount of yellow or brown tints in a white
diamond. Diamonds are given a colour grading based on the intensity and prominence of the colour
seen. Brown diamonds are usually referred as an equivalent colour grade
Diamonds are generally white or they progressively move down in colour, in shades of yellow.
Occasionally the colours of diamonds are in shades of brown. Diamonds are given a colour grading
based on the intensity and prominence of the colour seen
The following table guides u on the intensity of brown shades in our diamonds
Milky
Clouds may be either confined to a small area or may be spread throughout the stone. They usually
affect the lustre and brilliance in a diamond

Eye Clean
Is a term we use for clarity in diamonds, where the piece when viewed FACE UP looks
