Amazing process
From answering questions about clarity, cut, and shape to ordering an engraved ring and having it shipped to a certified spot for me to pick up, rare carat has done a wonderful job. She loves it and so does her friends, but she loves it. I'd definitely recommend. It's a hub of knowledge and I spent like 2 years on the site waiting for the right lady to use it for.

As I’m sure most people are unsure whether to spend thousands of dollars on an online purchase for a diamond they’ve never seen. Well.. I was no different.. hesitant and apprehensive. However, once I receive my diamond in the mail it was even better looking in person and under the natural rays of the sun. The diamond came in an awesome box beautifully represented along with its GIA certification. I highly recommend this company and will be buying from them in the future thanks rare carat

Rare Carrat my 2 Carrat engagement ring.
Rare Carrat , from beginning to end, it was easy. I designed my ring, placed my order, and the customer service was great!! They kept me informed every step of the way, as they made my ring, and then mailed it overnight for me to sign for it. It was even more beautiful 😍 than I thought it would be. I absolutely love it. They also insured it for me, they also sent a free pair of stud earrings for free. We are very pleased, and we will definitely purchase from them again.

Top quality natural diamond at unbelievably good price...no competition for this sort of pricing
I got a superior quality .9 carat natural diamond for the love of my life.. the only thing I've ever seen that sparkles more than the diamond I received from Rare Carat is her...I knew nothing about diamonds abd the many variables involved in grading them at the beginning of my selection and purchase...the many toolls, tips, and footnotes provided by Rare Carat all along the way were extremely helpful in helping me to make an informed decision about my purchase...I know a lot more than I ever thought I would know regarding diamonds and their grading/valuation...I am 100% certain that I received the absolute best quality diamond for what I was budgeted to spend...trust me when I tell you that I shopped around and did a lot of comparisons before I pulled the trigger on my Rare Carat putchase...I'd guesstimate that I saved at least 10% to 30% over the closest competitors and none of the other competitors were offering a natural stone that was even in the same ballpark as far as quality goes compared to what I got for my money at Rare Carat....I could have easily paid twice as much for a diamond of much lesser quality at many places ilooked...I got a .9 carat oval natural diamond, grade D, VS1, rare carat ideal cut, set in an 18k white gold basic no frills engagement ring for less than $2400...you'd be hard pressed to just buy a stone only like that for $3000 anywhere else...and I'll say ut again in case you missed it, this diamond sparkles so much it should have come with a pair of sunglasses so you dont blind yourself when you look at it in direct sunlight. .ive never seen stone put out the bling like the one I got from Rare Carat...my lady is in love with her ring...she tried to talk me down on my final choice but when I realized what I was going to get for my money from Rare Carat versus what I would've gotten if id gone anywhere else, I couldn't hit the buy now button fast enough.. honestly, I felt like I was stealing the ring in the end...thanks a million times Rare Carat for what you're doing in the diamond ring market... what matters most is what you get for your money and you guys have really left your competition far far behind...I think I probably ask more people if they've seen her new ring than she does because I love showing it to people and then telling them what a smoking hot deal i got it for...everyone is blown away when I tell them...keep doing what you're doing...it is working well...thanks again...DB
