1.30ct J VVS1 Emerald Natural Diamond

About this 1.3ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.3ct natural emerald sits in the one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half carat band, graded J colour (near-colourless) and VVS1 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 1525981286. Listed at 19 retailers, with prices from $3,112 to $4,832 at Cape Diamonds, a $1,720 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.
