About this 3.05ct natural emerald diamond

This 3.05ct natural emerald sits in the three to five carat band, graded J colour (near-colourless) and VS1 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a top-tier cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 1246049357. Listed at 3 retailers as of November 4, 2026, with prices from $24,165 to $36,396, a $12,231 spread on the same certified stone. Cape Diamonds lists it at $36,396. At this carat range, natural pricing varies dramatically across retailers, so the cross-retailer spread on this exact stone is your single best indicator of fair price.
