GIA F1 Columbian Emerald - is it a good quality one pls?

Hi please help.

Found this 2.36ct Emerald ring with GIA F1 I really like especially the vivid green colour. I think half of the stone is okay clear and half with moderate inclusion. As I understand GIA won't grade Emeralds, do you think its a nice stone to buy? Many thanks. Videos of the ring are as follows.

Depends on the price. I like the retro ring style and the emerald is a nice shape and color.

Considering emeralds photograph and video terribly, that looks like a lovely stone and ring. If the GIA certified it as F1, I wouldn't worry too much about the inclusions. I imagine they look minimal at eye level. Congrats and enjoy!!

Not cheap cheap but I have done a lot of research on loose stone prices, its very expensive to to get this kind of quality with cert over 2ct. Emerald 2.36 plus diamond 1.45ct, the jeweller asking for £4000. The other jeweller wanted to sell the same ring (from the same supplier) £600 more but the design is not everyone's cup of tea therefore it still here! Will ask the jeweller to bargain for me if she could

Well the price isn’t outrageous for that ring. It seems fair, although not a bargain. I just looked up pounds to USD, and it’s $5080. Not bad. See if you can bargain more though.

Thanks, my jeweller will bargain with the supplier later this week, keep my fingers crossed
