Understanding the 4 Cs

The foundation of any diamond purchase is 4 Cs – Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat Weight. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Cut: A diamond’s brilliance and sparkle are affected by the cut. For the best brilliance opt for an excellent or very good cut.
  • Color: The less color is in a diamond the more rarer and more valuable it is. From D (coloreless) to Z (light yellow), we have everything.
  • Clarity: Inclusions or blemishes are what clarity measures. Sometimes the best quality and value diamond for the money is a VS1 or VS2 clarity diamond.
  • Carat Weight: Even though size does matter, carat weight shouldn't cost more than your budget and it should align with your personal preferences.

Rare Carat enables you to browse through diamonds on different grades so you get high-quality diamonds at reasonable prices.

The recent trends in Diamond Engagement Rings

In today’s world, modern consumers expect personalization and sustainability while buying engagement rings. Rare Carat has embraced these trends by offering:

  • Lab-Grown Diamonds: These are environmentally friendly alternatives that offer the same sparkle as natural diamonds, but are a fraction of the cost.
  • Fancy Shapes: Round diamonds are the traditional royal of diamonds but there’s a rise in the fancier shaped diamonds like an oval, a pear and an emerald, which have a distinct art deco vibe.
  • Halo Settings: Halo settings lend brilliance and visual size where in the ring there is a 'ring' of smaller diamonds surrounding the center stone.

You’ll love our platform because it allows users to filter diamonds by shape, settings, and more to find the ring that matches your unique style.
