About this 1.26ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.26ct natural emerald sits in the one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half carat band, graded L colour (faint-tinted) and VVS2 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 2203693252. Listed at 8 retailers as of November 1, 2026, with prices from $4,665 to $7,272, a $2,607 spread on the same certified stone. Cape Diamonds lists it at $7,272. 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.
