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 I colour (near-colourless) and VVS2 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 1543043980. Listed at 12 retailers as of November 1, 2026, with prices from $4,837 to $9,020, a $4,183 spread on the same certified stone. MOH London lists it at $9,020. 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.
