About this 1.26ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.26ct natural emerald sits in the one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half carat band, graded D colour (colourless) and VS1 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 11521638. Listed at 2 retailers as of October 31, 2026, with a relatively tight 3% 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.
