1.01ct I VS2 Emerald Natural Diamond

About this 1.01ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.01ct natural emerald sits in the classic one-carat band, graded I 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 1458114940. Listed at 18 retailers, with prices from $2,395 to $3,731 at Cape Diamonds, a $1,336 spread on the same certified stone. 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.
