1.02ct J VS1 Emerald Natural Diamond

About this 1.02ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.02ct natural emerald sits in the classic one-carat band, graded J 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 2514247475. Listed at 17 retailers as of November 4, 2026, with a 121% 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.
