0.42ct D VS2 Emerald Natural Diamond

About this 0.42ct natural emerald diamond

This 0.42ct natural emerald sits in the sub-half-carat band, graded D colour (colourless) and VS2 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 2557879039. Listed at 2 retailers, with a relatively tight 10% 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.
