About this 1.28ct natural emerald diamond

This 1.28ct natural emerald sits in the one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half carat band, graded G colour (near-colourless) and VVS1 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 5222864475. Listed at 5 retailers as of November 1, 2026, with prices from $6,420 to $8,840, a $2,420 spread on the same certified stone. Jared lists it at $8,840. 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.
