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 J colour (near-colourless) and VS1 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 5553482769. Listed at 14 retailers as of October 26, 2026, with prices from $2,688 to $5,776, a $3,088 spread on the same certified stone. MOH London lists it at $5,776. 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.
