About this 0.48ct natural emerald diamond

This 0.48ct natural emerald sits in the sub-half-carat band, graded I colour (near-colourless) and VVS2 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 2205485723. Listed at 6 retailers as of October 28, 2026, with prices from £533 to £991, a £458 spread on the same certified stone. Cape Diamonds lists it at £991. 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.
