Thanks a lot Garry for sharing.
she said "...so actually this is pretty true, a blue fluorescent diamond must be a natural diamond..."
So this is completely wrong and CVD diamonds can have blue fluorescence because of N3 impurities, it's rare but not impossible (For sure there will be growers that will try to grow Blue fluorescent CVDs more and more)
It's a yes and no issue V.
In my playing around the key difference is the frequency and intensity of the LW UV.
But the concept she described is accurate.
Thanks Garry,
Do you mean under different wavelengths and intensities of UV light we might see the blue fluorescence of a CVD diamond?
I mean CVD can have pure blue fluorescence, the color of fluorescence I consider important not the wavelength
Am I right?

Yes, different reactions to different frequencies V.
And unlikely you would get a synthetic piece like FreddyBostons just posted.
OK, you are aware of the risks. A spacer of any metal will be required as the platinum will not be worn away, so even a cheap thin white gold will work.So far so good Garry - wedding ring is thinner / diamonds sit lower than new e ring (beefy 3mm) plus wedding has looser size so can wear higher up finger to give some separation. Didn't want to Solder and not a fan of spacers.

Thanks Garry - my wife's stubborn - says spacer would put too much metal on her finger - i asked her next time she's visiting the local jeweler to ask them to take a peek - if there is problem maybe they can convince her.
Happy to report I was able to convince her Gary and placed an order for a spacer today. Since i have your ear - I'm curious your thoughts if there will ever come a time when certification labs start looking at transparency as part of the clarity grade ? Our Si1 got hit for the table crystal (scary at magnification / eye clean real life) Were not for that it's a remarkably clean and bright stone.
