About this 0.96ct natural emerald diamond

This 0.96ct natural emerald sits in the just-under-one-carat band, graded J colour (near-colourless) and VS2 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA. Listed at 3 retailers as of November 5, 2026, with a 33% spread between the cheapest and most expensive listing. That is exactly the kind of price-discovery gap Carat Hunter was built to surface. Cut grade matters more than carat or clarity for visible brilliance. If you can shift budget toward an Excellent or Ideal cut, do it before chasing higher colour or clarity.
