We were skeptical completely ordering a diamond online, but couldn’t be any happier with the results! We decided to go with a lab diamond and they had an amazing selection. There are more diamonds and settings than any other site out there as well as better prices! The setting I was nervous about because it wasn’t a real-life picture of it, but it turned out waaaay prettier in person! We brought it to a local jeweler for an appraisal and it appraised for twice what we paid! I get compliments all the time! Don’t second guess this source!

I thoroughly enjoyed being able to filter and select the precise diamond I wanted based on strict specifications. The diamond I received was nothing short of what I expected. The only issue was the diamond had some marker on it to designate where the laser engraving that should have been removed before I received it, but it was easily cleaned with alcohol per recommendation of Rare Carat.The Rare Carat Team was extraordinarily responsive, emailing back within a couple hours most of the time, and very helpful on coordinating the diamond pickup when I was unable to sign for the delivery to work.I highly recommend Rare Carat.

Love rare carat and their staff of gemologists! They make the process of buying a diamond transparent and help to give you guidance on the best diamond to buy. I worked with a jeweler and would send all the GIA numbers to Rare Carat for their opinion on each stone. They’re great and I recommend to everyone looking to buy an engagement ring!

This was a very good experience. The value and expertise the Rare Carat team offers is great! Once you select s diamond, the Gemologist gives you a terrific review and advise. I had selected one and they warned me of some flaws in the diamond that would make it not desirable. This was so valuable to me. I was able to keep searching until I found the perfect stone for my wife.We are very satisfied!

At first I was skeptical of buying online as I had never bought a diamond before. With Rare Carat I was able to see who the retailer was and visit their site as well, which gave me confidence I was buying a diamond from a reputable company. After countless hours of searching many sites I kept returning to Rare Carat and eventually found a truly amazing diamond approximately 25% below retail price. I have recommended Rare Carat multiple times since using them and will continue to do so to anyone looking for a diamond!

Fabulous service. Fabulous diamond and ring. Fun to weed through and to pick out (my diamond and the setting/ring.) So *love* their site (and their pricing options, I shouldnt forget to say!!!) A full five stars here.

So happy I stumbled across this website! Was leary about buying a diamond online but after getting the input from the Gemologist and the diamond report as well I decided to take a leap of faith and I am SO HAPPY that I did!!! My diamond is GORGEOUS!! I took it to my local Jeweler and was told that I got a GREAT DEAL on a HIGH QUALITY diamond. Will definitely shop here again for all my diamonds.

I usually dont leave reviews but I had to because I am so happy with our purchase! My fiance and I are very non traditional and were looking for my engagement ring together and are so happy we found rare carat! Everywhere else we looked did not have the specs I wanted, I guess you could say I am picky :). Site was so easy to navigate and received my beautiful diamond within 2 days of ordering!

I had a fantastic experience with Rare Carat! I was nervous buying such a large diamond online. The experience was awesome! They provided pictures, information on my specific diamond, and delivered my wife’s 25th wedding anniversary diamond quickly. I was able to get the ring with plenty of time to spare. My wife was VERY happy with the diamond and receives compliments on it daily. I will definitely use Rare Carat in the future for any diamond purchase and highly recommend them!!!

Rare Caret offered a means to easily evaluate the specific criteria I was looking for in a diamond across multiple vendor offerings. Once I found diamonds I was interested in, they provided a review from a jeweler to help me evaluate my options. I did indeed buy a diamond ring from The Art of Jewels, through Rare Caret. I will be using Rare Caret for my future diamond purchases. My wife loves her upgraded diamond by the way.

The folks at Rare Carat were truly helpful. They were very honest in sharing their opinion on several diamonds that I was considering, and even after I purchased one and then changed my mind, they helped me process the refund. Ultimately, they helped me find the perfect stone for my wife in celebration of our 20th anniversary. She loves it. Id recommend Rare Carat to anyone without hesitation. Compared to local jewelers, I easily saved 40% on a beautiful diamond.

Rare Carat is an incredible service that has helped me find a stunning stone.

I have never shopped online for jewelry until found a vendor through Rare Carat. I thought it was very helpful to compare prices, especially when i saw that the big box stores could not compete. It was a good experience, and we found a great diamond.

We purchased engagement/wedding ring set with the support of Rare Carat website, we found the diamond and Daniel Williams assisted us in creating a custom ring and purchased the diamond for us. We felt that customer service was very supportive and we felt less stress. Buy through them you will be satisfied. Trustworthy and RELIABLE.

I bought a very fine diamond using Rare Carat back in June. I was nervous at the onset, this was to be a major purchase, an expensive purchase and you start to remember stories of others who were deceived in the diamond market and did not get what they paid for. Rare Carat was not my first stop, I was looking at diamonds through various online retailers. I then found Rare Carat, and was quite interested. Quickly I knew this was the way to go. With Kelseys help I chose a 2.11 carat GIA certified, flawless diamond. I chose a Rare Carat vetted jeweler to complete the purchase through, from whom I also chose a setting for the diamond and a matching wedding band. The process was smooth and I received my rings in the time frame promised. I took the rings to my local jeweler, who has a GIA trained appraiser, and the diamond was as described on Rare Carat, I got the diamond I ordered. I cannot imagine ever going another route in the future, Rare Carat is the only way to buy a diamond.

Rare Carat was an instrumental search tool that ultimately led me to With Clarity, the retailer that had the diamond I purchased. Ajay and his teamat Rare Carat worked with me directly to answer any questions I had about diamonds to help narrow down my search. Rare Carat is an extremely helpful tool that made my diamond search easier. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks Rare Carat!

Review №24

I was skeptical about buying a diamond online, especially trying to balance quality with a tight budget. I had narrowed my search down and selected a diamond but it was on hold by someone else. I had been looking at another diamond but was worried about its color versus its fluorescent level since I couldnt see it in person. Adiamore, where the on hold diamond was gave me some alternatives but I wasnt sure what to do. Catherine evaluated the diamonds for me and recommended the one I had been looking at over the alternatives which were more expensive and not as good a bargain though they were better quality on paper. Catherine described the movement of the diamond and sparkle and put my mind at ease over the color. That was the right decision. My diamond exceeds anything Ive seen in person for the same attributes but higher price. Im so glad I listened to Catherine as I now have the diamond of my dreams and it was less than I expected to pay. Dont buy a diamond without comparing on Rare Carat and asking for assistance and evaluations. Its free and can save you money, not to mention how easy the site is to use.

Im very impressed with Rare Carat! I had no knowledge of diamonds what so ever. The written information and all the GIA specialists working there helped to educate me in selecting the perfect diamond. I was able to select the perfect wedding set and design it with alternating sapphire and diamonds that ran down the sides of my rings.I was very unsure of the online ordering, but people I want you to know this company is very up and up on their word. They stand by their commitment and guarantees!!!!!Love this Company,Cindy Gagnon

Review №29

When shopping for an engagement ring I was admittedly not very knowledgeable about diamonds or rings in general.The team at Rare Carat took their time to educate me on what to look for, my options and explain the process in ordering a ring. I chose to try Rare Carat because I wasnt interested in going into a brick and mortar store and potentially feeling pressured into making a purchase on the spot. The Rare Carat team was super patient with me, let me know how availability works using their system and made me feel super at ease taking the time I needed to make a larger purchase. I felt ZERO pressure from them and really felt they were genuinely wanting me to take as much time as I needed.I knew in my heart shed say yes with whatever ring I presented her with but Rare Carat made it possible for me to get one I could feel incredibly proud for her to show off and that I felt that she deserved. I would recommend Rare Carat to anyone looking to get a beautiful diamond ring with no pressured sales tactics.

Highly highly recommend this site for shopping and comparing diamonds. They will point you to awesome deals at sites and local stores you didn’t even know to check at. They also have a service where they’ll do a free custom review of a diamond you’ve found, by reviewing the grading lab report. I had my eye on a diamond from a ring designer that makes their reputation in having the highest quality stones, but my rare carat reviewer provided me an unbiased review that the diamond I’d selected wasn’t up to par based on price and stone characteristics. Cannot recommend enough!

What a wonderful experience. After carefully watching prices on Rare Carat and checking with our local jewler, there was some hesitancy purchasing online but with all the purchase insurance provided and cost savings we moved forward. Within 24hrs the diamond was sent overnight, received then mounted on my original ring in time for my 30th wedding anniversary. Quick, professional response and beautiful purchase. Was a flawless experience I recommend it to everyone.

TLDR: Easy, no-pressure comparison shopping and lots of tools which ensure that you know what you’re getting, save you time and money, and that you’re happy with your diamond - which may well appraise for considerably more than you paid.For more detail:THE GOOD: If youre in the market for an engagement ring, youll be happy to know that shopping for the perfect (mined or lab-grown) diamond at an excellent price has gotten way easier. Not only are you free from sales pressure and the time spent going store to store, but you can also select from a national inventory which may be better than what is available to you locally depending on your location. Sure, the large online retailers made this possible previously, but now you can do true apples-to-apples comparison shopping (sometimes on the exact same diamond!) and get much better prices.Are you feeling less than confident in your knowledge of diamonds? Not to worry. You can quickly become more of an expert than you ever thought you would be. I STRONGLY recommend going through all the basic education materials on the site when it comes to the three Cs, but also read up on the particular cut you choose (e.g. its advantages, disadvantages, and what to look out for). Granted, I imagine, at least for some, that the paradisiac vision of eagerly shopping for a diamond didn’t include someone telling you to ‘Go do your homework,’ but trust me on this point. It saved me for sure, and it’s something I’d recommend even if you ultimately decide to go elsewhere – ESPECIALLY a brick and mortar. Plus, the articles are written in a fun and accessible way, so at least it won’t feel like the Algebra homework you remember from high school.All that said, even with a tool as powerful as Rare Carat, I fretted over the purchase for weeks. When decision-time came though, I felt assured in my selection thanks to the personal touch the site provides via gemologist assistance and reports which are specific to your particular selection. I’m not really one to solicit advice or engage much with store personnel. (Despite the seeming superciliousness and contradiction otherwise to my personality, it’s simply that I’m all ‘nerves and dread’ with such things, unfortunately. *sigh*) In this case, I never found that I ran into that. Everything is at your own pace. It’s just personal enough, but never intrusive. Special shout out to Heather and Catherine there, by the way. Thanks to your guidance, I was deliriously happy with my ring from the second I laid my eyes on the real deal!THE NOT-SO-GOOD: If I could make only one suggestion for improvement, it would be to do whatever it takes to onboard additional vendors more quickly. Rare Carats site will tell you that they carefully vet their vendors. This is quite reassuring and part of why it all works (i.e. it isn’t an area where you’d want them to skimp). The issue, though, is that settings are primarily a vendor-dependent element. It goes without saying that you want an amazing stone. But if you’re dissatisfied with everything around it, are the savings still worth it? It stands to reason that the more vendors you have, the more options you have. I’m sure there is a limited market for the setting I wanted, so it was always going to be a challenge. Fortunately, I did find something I love, though I was honestly surprised that I did given the limitation. However, that may not be an issue for the majority of buyers.I hope this doesnt come across as one of those a little too good to be true fake reviews. It isnt. I’m a true believer and received exactly zip-zero-zilch-nada for writing it. I well and truly look down at my hand almost every single day and think, I cant believe that is MY ring and Ive been wearing it for months! And as great as that is, what is even crazier is that the appraisal came in SEVERAL THOUSAND more than we paid. :-O Cool, right?

I love RareCarat. I stumbled upon them by accident and was pleased with the service they offer. The database is very easy to navigate and I was able to quickly narrow down my search for two Asscher cut diamonds. I am experienced in the jewelry industry so I didn’t need help understanding the terminology. The videos of the actual diamond is an outstanding selling tool. I received the two diamonds in a timely manner, they were presented well and were exactly what I ordered. The prices were excellent too. I have seen the similar diamonds I found on RareCarat for higher prices at jewelry trade shows. I will definitely be using them again. To be clear, RareCarat is a search engine. They help you locate your diamond and you receive your diamond from a vetted supplier. The service they offer is outstanding and I couldn’t be happier with the easy way their site works

Very useful website to narrow down the perfect diamond for my engagement ring. Sarah, a gemologist, on the website was easy to reach out to in the virtual chat and gave us a clear and concise review of the stone. Rarecarat also makes it easy to contact the seller and purchase.

Heather was the gemologist that helped me and she was great! Her review of the diamond I was considering was thorough, yet easy to understand.

The quality was amazing, and I got it for a fraction of the price that local jewelers were quoting me for far inferior diamonds.

It is nice that Rare Carat can query their database of stones. I was looking for a pair of earrings, about a carat each, with a unique cut. They were able to find some suitable options. The only frustration came when I found a pair that I loved and started the purchasing process, one of the diamonds was sold. One of the associates tried to find another match and I think I was just sad. I ended up not making a purchase.

These guys are nothing short of amazing. I was a little cautious at first to use them, but seeing has how they also offer diamond from local jewelers who will allow you to view the stones in person, apart from conducting transactions online, I felt a more assuaged using them. I’m glad I did; my purchase was absolutely beautiful - the stone was incredible and I am so happy that they put a lot of effort into ensuring that you are aware of and satisfied with what you are buying. The diamond zoom/loop view option is very nice so you can clearly see the flaws, and make informed decisions. My next diamond will be through them too. Hands down the best value over any other diamond broker.

Online Diamond Shopping at its Best!I was nervous about buying a diamond online since its hard to judge a diamond from pictures and I was worried about scams or theft. However, I was more than happy with the product that I eventually purchased. Even my local jeweler (who had been trying to sell me lower quality diamonds at higher price) admitted that I had a great quality stone and at a price he would never be able to offer me. As someone who cared a lot about quality, metrics, and of course price/value, Rare Carat was the perfect place for me. I do recommend going to a few jewelers in person to find out what you like and dont like, but then use those metrics and features to find the right stone on Rare carat- the value cant be beat.

I purchased two diamonds from here for the center stones for our engagement rings (two female couple) and we love them. When taking them in to get placed into our custom made rings the owner could not believe the quality and price that we paid for our diamonds.

I had a great experience with rare carat. The founder reached out to me personally and asked if he could help me.

With no two diamonds being alike and with this being such a large and significant purchase, trying to make an informed decision during the pandemic without actually getting to see the product was quite daunting! I asked Holly for a review after narrowing down my search and received timely feedback. The ease of navigating to additional specifications on the certificates and the value ratings definitely helped me in my decision. We took the diamond to an appraiser afterwards and everything mentioned in the requested review was echoed. Thank you for helping us find our perfect stone!

Review №56

Rare Carat helped me tremendously in the search for the perfect ring. I did a bunch of research on diamonds and visited a few jewellers prior. But I wanted a more discrete and efficient way to find the right diamond and setting. So I gave Rare Carat a chance. The big reason is their search functionality to pull hundreds of diamond listings and being able to filter that list. Also, the fact that they give free diamond reports from a real gemologist on any of the listed diamonds is invaluable. After months of refining my search on the site, I settled for what worked for me. I submitted the diamond for review and got a detailed and reassuring report from Catherine. This was the final step for giving me peace of mind and confidence in my purchase. Thanks to the RC team for developing and providing an outstanding service!

I found Rare Carat through a google search. They have the BEST selection of lab grown diamonds I have ever seen. We visited multiple jewelers and asked for lab grown diamonds and were told only one or two met our specifications. I went to rare carat and found 10+ that met my criteria for 10-20% less than the prices the jewelers were quoting me. The diamond was delivered in 10 business days as promised and it was even more beautiful than expected. I am extremely happy with my purchase through Rare Carat! 10/10 would buy through them again.

I bought diamond through them and in one year the diamond fell twice. First time we had it fixed by sending it back to the jewelry store that sold us thru rare carat but second time we were unable to find the diamond. Obviously the prongs were not well set for the diamond.I won’t ever buy from themUPDATE- I am changing my review to 5 star. To make long story short, this company takes care of their customer in such a manner that is not seen or heard. If there was a 10star I would have given that.Thank you for reaching out to me and helping.

It is a very useful feature to get a market estimate for a specific diamond based solely on the GIA number alone. It makes sense this can be done. It was also useful and informative to get quotes for comparable diamonds at the same time, very much like a market comparison for buying a house or other property.Now if we could only get the insurance companies to accept the quotes and comparison as a valid basis for insurance . . .

I had purchased a diamond thru Blue Nile and wanted a second opinion as I had 30 days to return it if not happy. I did not want to go to some random jeweler and this happened during COVID. I thought I had done my homework and picked a good one. Rare Carat was easy to use and Sarah really made me feelwith information she shared, I did very well with my choice. I was going to trade up to a full carat, but after Sarah’s response I just changed the setting and saved money! Love my ring, and have been sharing my experience with Rare Carat. Knowledge is power and buying diamonds can be sketchy without this kind of backup. Thank you Sarah and Rare Carat!

Rare Carat was instrumental in my education of the diamond world and search for the perfect rock. The entire team was so helpful with their expertise and candid feedback (you get to chat with real humans). This tool empowered me to conduct an in depth, educated search at my own pace and with my own style. I could never imagine buying a diamond in the store now knowing how much there is to consider when reviewing a diamond, rare carat allows you to check every box in your review process, and make you feel comfortable (without any pressure) in your ultimate decision on the right diamond and ring.

Fantastic user experience and very helpful team helped me learn about diamonds, find one that I loved for a very important purchase, and navigate working with various jewelers to make the purchase. Highly trustworthy and very transparent so I never expected I was being taken advantage of like I was recently at a local jeweler.Would never buy a diamond any other way. The search engine is tremendously powerful and the team is amazing. All of the jewelers they support are also carefully vetted. I felt a little strange about the idea of buying a diamond sight unseen (which they say not to do) and having it shipped elsewhere...but RareCarats due diligence totally took my fears away.Also...when I panic purchased the wrong diamond they were SOO fast to refund my money and work with the jeweler to stop the transaction. We are talking like 30 minutes and everything (including a bank wire) was fixed.Could not be happier with the final ring!

UK buyer here. Rare Carat (Kelsey) helped get my head around the process and connected me with a five star retailer I would never otherwise have found. Absolutely recommend this company.

Rarecarat team and experts were awesome. Very informative and were helping me with each and every question. With the help of rare carat i was able to find the perfect diamond for my ring. The website is very easy to use and we can apply filters based on range color cut everything and see the best options and then can use the experts help to review the diamond Which immensely helps in finalizing. I was really really happy that I used Rarecarat and got my dream engagement ring in my budget:):)

Excellent service! I was super hesitant at first and skeptical. I am willing to admit, my skepticism and hesitation was unwarranted! Best service ever! Recommending all of my friends to use Rare Carat. Dont hesitate to reach out to them for help. They give real life advice that isnt based off of making a sale. THANK YOU

Rare Carat was able to find the direct source of the diamond that other online stores were selling for 1-2K more. I would highly recommend using Rare Carat for your next diamond purchase. Very easy to use and the Gemologist were very knowledgeable. They took initiative to point out concerning items.

Awesome company. With excellent service throughout. The team generates diamond reports, promptly responds to questions, and guides the site visitor through everything. With the sums involved in such purchases, it is quite daunting, but the rare carat gemologists really strive to impart a lot of knowledge in a simple way, always reassuring without pressuring, giving me peace of mind and confidence. And they are not actually selling anything, so you can feel they really want to HELP.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! The gemologists are so knowledgeable and so honest. It was so refreshing to get real expert opinions on diamonds without having the added motivation of wanting to make a sale. They went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and worked with vendors directly on any follow-up questions. Im so impressed by the Rare Carat team. I saved literally thousands of dollars on my purchase and felt much more confident in my selection. LOVE this company and what they stand for!

Incredible experience shopping for my fiances engagement ring. So many filtering tools and the same diamonds available on all of the other sites. When I had it narrowed down to 6 stones, I called on their experts to give an opinion and they helped me decide on the perfect rock!

I used Rare Carat to help me pick out a diamond for my (now) finance. The information provided on the site, along with the ability to view and sort different diamonds, and assure me that I was getting the best price really took the guess work out of it. I wasnt sure at first, so I did a ton of research on the site, and then called a number of local jewelers. They were shocked at how knowledgeable I was when describing the criteria I had (based on Rare Carats suggestions) and told me that wherever I was finding these prices they couldnt touch them.The ability to have a reviewer actually take a look at a specific diamond and provide feedback is fantastic. My fiance was thrilled with her ring and I owe a lot of that to Rare Carat!

Jamie helped me every step of the way. I was very particular with every aspect of the diamond, setting, seller, ship date, payment type, etc and Jamie was very professional and a BIG help with it all. Thanks for making our engagement possible! Would recommend Rare Carat and Jamie for anyone looking to get exactly what they want!

I used Rare Carat for a review of the loose diamond I wanted to purchase online. The review was close to the actual GIA appraisal and it was very helpful in making my decision to purchase. It gave me confidence that I was getting a great deal on a high quality diamond.

Rare Carat is a great resource for anyone shopping for a diamond. They helped me to understand what I was looking for in a diamond, and how specific diamonds were priced and graded. Because I was given a family ring as a gift just before I purchased, I didnt end up purchasing diamonds I viewed in Rare Carat, but otherwise I would have and recommend anyone to use Rare Carat in the search for their diamond.

I utilized Rare Carat to get professional expert advice on diamonds I was interested in purchasing. Gemologists offered opinions on diamonds with GIA certificates which was very helpful to me as a consumer. They were very responsive to all my questions.Great Company!
