+ '\n  Fluorescence\n</h2>\n<p class="fontmain">\n  GIA diam'
+ 'ond reports and many other lab reports indicate whether '
+ 'or not a diamond exhibits fluorescence, which means the '
+ 'diamond\'s color changes when it is exposed to ultraviole'
+ 't radiation. Since UV radiation is a component of daylig'
+ 'ht and is also present in fluorescent lit rooms, diamond'
+ 's with this characteristic can appear to change color qu'
+ 'ite often.\n</p>\n<p class="fontmain">\n  <span class="f'
+ 'ontmain_bold">•&nbsp;</span>Diamonds that produce a blue'
+ ' reaction usually appear whiter, or more colorless, unde'
+ 'r UV light.\n  <br />\n  <span class="fontmain_bold">•&n'
+ 'bsp;</span>Stones that fluoresce yellow appear even more'
+ ' yellow under some lighting conditions.\n</p>\n<br />\n<'
+ 'p class="fontmain">\n  When jewelers speak of a diamond\''
+ 's color, they are usually referring to the presence or a'
+ 'bsence of color in white diamonds. Color is a result of '
+ 'the composition of the diamond, and it never changes ove'
+ 'r time.\n</p>\n<br />\n<p class="fontmain">\n  Because a'
+ ' colorless diamond, like a clear window, allows more lig'
+ 'ht to pass through it than a colored diamond, colorless '
+ 'diamonds emit more sparkle and fire. The formation proce'
+ 'ss of a diamond ensures that only a few, rare diamonds a'
+ 're truly colorless. Thus the whiter a diamond\'s color, t'
+ 'he greater its value.\n</p>\n<br />\n<p class="fontmain"'
+ '>\n  Diamonds graded G through I show virtually no color'
+ ' that is visible to the untrained eye.\n</p>\n<br />\n<p'
+ ' class="fontmain">\n  It’s important to note that fancy '
+ 'colour diamonds do not follow this rule. These diamonds,'
+ ' which are very rare and very expensive, can be any colo'
+ 'ur from blue to green to bright yellow. They are actuall'
+ 'y more valuable for their color.\n</p>\n<p class="fontma'
+ 'in">\n  To grade \'whiteness\' or colorlessness, most jewe'
+ 'lers refer to GIA\'s professional color scale that begins'
+ ' with the highest rating of D for colorless, and travels'
+ ' down the alphabet to grade stones with traces of very f'
+ 'aint or light yellowish or brownish color. The color sca'
+ 'le continues all the way to Z.\n</p>\n<br />\n<table cel'

+ 'monds graded D through F are naturally the most valuable'
+ ' and desirable because of their rarity. Such diamonds ar'
+ 'e a treat for the eyes of anyone. But you can still obta'
+ 'in very attractive diamonds that are graded slightly les'

+ 'irtually no color that is visible to the untrained eye\n'
