What is Rare Carat?
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.

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. Learn More about the company here: About Rare Carat

A 3-Carat Win for My Wallet, My Fiancé, and My Sanity
I just want to give a huge shoutout to Rare Carat for making the whole ring-buying experience shockingly easy — and dare I say, even enjoyable?
My fiancé mentioned she was open to a lab diamond (bless her for being awesome and practical), so I did some digging. After going down the rabbit hole of sparkle science, I found an absolutely stunning, high-grade 3-carat lab diamond that seriously turns heads. I mean, people compliment this ring constantly. It’s basically a mini disco ball of love.
I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first about going lab-grown — but once I saw the size, clarity, and price? Let’s just say my wallet gave me a standing ovation.
Before finding Rare Carat, I visited a few traditional retailers and... oof. The back-and-forth, the pressure, the awkward small talk — it just wasn’t for me. Rare Carat, on the other hand, felt like a breath of fresh air. Smooth process, transparent pricing, and no pushy sales tactics. Just solid information, great selection, and a ring that made my fiancé tear up (mission accomplished).
If you're on the fence about lab diamonds or shopping online, do yourself a favor and check out Rare Carat. You’ll get a ring that looks like a million bucks — without spending it.

Sneaky surprise engagement
Helped my future son in law pick and order ring. We were kind of nervous as the engagement was coming soon. But as promised the ring was delivered the very first day it said it may ship. Quality was fantastic, stone sparkles, it’s more than what they hoped for. For the price you just cannot beat it.

I love that there were different options for backing types. I thought it would be difficult to pick out earrings but they pair together ones that are similar quality. What sold me was the 30 day return policy. I wasn't going to buy diamonds sight unseen with a 3 day return window.
