What is Rare Carat?

Rare Carat is one of the leading diamond jewelry retailers in the United States, and best rated jeweler on Trustpilot since 2024.

Behind the scenes, like in traditional retail, Rare Carat aggregates many vetted wholesalers with whom the customers never interact. All products sold on Rare Carat come in a Rare Carat branded box, the company no longer selling products from third party brands. The company has gained a reputation for exceptional customer protection, customer service, quality and pricing. Learn More about the company here: About Rare Carat

Written by the company

"The Secret to Buying the Perfect Diamond" - The New York Times
Rare Carat is one of the leading diamond jewelry retailers in the United States. It operates on a “managed marketplace” model, combining the selection advantages of marketplaces with the quality assurance of traditional retailers. Founded in 2016, the company initially started as a diamond search engine (“Kayak for Diamonds”). In 2021, Rare Carat pivoted away from the search engine model, started accepting payments (becoming merchant of record) and taking end-to-end responsibility for customer service and satisfaction. Behind the scenes, Rare Carat aggregates many vetted wholesalers, with whom customers never interact. The company has gained a reputation for exceptional customer protection, customer service, quality and pricing.

Celebrating 35 years

We just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in May. My mother-in-law has a very unique wedding ring I’ve always admired. A few years ago, I found a similar setting, that had a small diamond.
I replaced the small diamond with a beautiful 1.5 carat lab diamond from Rare Carat. It’s more beautiful than I even imagined it would be.
Delivery was fast. Excellent customer service.
Definitely recommend.
