Lors de vos visites chez les bijoutiers, il est possible que vous entendiez le terme «bleu-blanc». À l'origine, ce terme faisait uniquement référence aux diamants blancs présentant une fluorescence bleue, mais on a fait de ce terme un si mauvais usage que la Federal Trade Commission américaine a dû en interdire l'utilisation. 4, record 2, French, - incolore
