After I became engaged I was getting my nails done and I noticed that one of my diamonds were glowing under the black light. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Fluorescence (glowing under a black light) is normal in real diamonds. Please refer to the following FAQ for more information:

Hi bwhitley,

Here is a picture of a 1ct stone with extreme fluorescence taken under a black light.
