Brilliancy gemstones

An assessment of a gemstone's brilliance and any neon-like luminescence.

Brilliance and fluorescence are key characteristics that captivate gemstone enthusiasts. The desire to own a gemstone often arises primarily from its "play of light," while considerations of cost and potential imperfections become secondary. We consider these characteristics as important as color in gemstones.

Fluorescence is the luminescence within and around the gem.

Brilliance is not only a gem's "shine" but also involves dispersion and other physical properties of gemstones.
