0.49ct I VS1 Cushion Natural Diamond

About this 0.49ct natural cushion diamond

This 0.49ct natural cushion sits in the sub-half-carat band, graded I colour (near-colourless) and VS1 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 6401685619. Listed at 3 retailers as of November 2, 2026, with a relatively tight 3% spread, which is unusual at this carat range and suggests competitive pricing across the listings. 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.
