Learn About Your Diamond

You’ve selected a 0.51 carat oval natural diamond. 0% of our users choose oval diamonds. Learn more about them here.

Cut is the most important factor. When an experienced gemologist picks up a diamond grading report, their eyes go to very specific values. They are looking to see if these fall within the desired ranges. Seemingly unimportant values like the depth percentage have a large effect on how your diamond will sparkle - and these values differ for each shape.

Follow the checklist prepared by our gemologists to see how your diamond fares. If it misses by a little bit on one or two, that’s fine, but we recommend trying to find a stone that passes on all:

Your 0.51 carat oval natural diamond is graded J color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about J color diamonds here.

Color is graded beginning with D (Colorless). Learn more about diamond color here. The market prices colorless diamonds higher as they are rarer, but some people prefer warmer colored stones.

Your 0.51 carat oval natural diamond is graded VVS2 clarity, which stands for Very Very Slightly Included 2. Read more about VVS2 clarity diamonds here, or learn more about diamond clarity in general here.

There are minimum clarities our gemologists prefer for each shape, but beyond that clarity is a matter of budget and preference. People typically aim for an eye clean stone. Also, our gemologists have certain deal-breakers when it comes to clarity. For example, our gemologists always avoid stones with a cavity, because with one wrong hit your diamond can crack.

Use the checklist below to ensure your diamond passes. Consult us before purchasing to see if any other nuanced issues are present:

A diamond's carat weight is determined by its size, with larger diamonds weighing more. Learn more about carat here.
However, it's important to note that carat weight is not the same as size, as other factors such as depth and shape can also impact how large a diamond appears.

I was skeptical about purchasing diamonds on line. As an elderly individual i'm not a big sight unseen kind of person. I wanted to purchase 2 loose diamonds of comparable size and quality to add to my wife's existing wedding ring for our 35th anniversary. First off I did not realize Rare Carot offered diamonds in pairs. Helene (sales) helped me find a matched pair of oval diamonds at a price that I felt was very reasonable for the quality of the stones. I have had the stones looked at by a local jeweler who told me that I saved at least $500 over what would be considered reasonable. The jeweler examined the stones and verified the serial # on the stones matched the GIA report. She said that I had received a very good value for the cost. Rare Carot in my opinion is a very legit business offering the product that they advertise. The sales staff was more than helpful and was able to put me in better quality diamonds for less than what I expected to pay. Shipping was fast, on time, and there were no surprises. I will not hesitate to use Rare Carot in the future....Thank you Helene

I wasn't so sure about how authentic it is, as it was my first buy from you, I took it to a jeweler to double check and everything was just perfect.

My experience with Rare Carat stands apart from any online purchase or customer service experience I've ever had. As my wife's 60th birthday approached, I wanted to find a gift that truly reflected my love and appreciation for her—something special that she could wear often and cherish for years to come. After considering several ideas and consulting my daughters, I initially looked at diamond tennis necklaces before ultimately deciding on a diamond tennis bracelet. During my search, I came across Rare Carat and was immediately impressed by the company and its story. What I didn't know at the time was that my son-in-law had purchased my daughter's engagement ring through Rare Carat, and my future son-in-law had done the same. Both had wonderful experiences, which only reinforced that I was in the right place. Shortly after I began browsing, I received an email from Ajay, the founder and CEO. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first and assumed it was an automated message. It wasn't. Over the course of several email exchanges, Ajay personally answered my questions, provided thoughtful recommendations, and never once tried to upsell me. In fact, his advice was honest, practical, and focused entirely on helping me make the right choice. I was genuinely impressed that the CEO of the company was so personally involved and accessible. With Ajay's guidance, I selected a 6-carat tennis bracelet in a 6.5-inch length. The ordering process was seamless, communication from the Rare Carat team was outstanding, and the bracelet was shipped almost immediately. The presentation was beautiful—a stunning outer box with an elegant jewelry box inside that made the gift feel even more special. When my wife opened the bracelet on her birthday, her reaction told me everything. She absolutely loved it, and the happy tears confirmed that I had finally gotten a milestone birthday gift right after more than 30 years together. There was only one problem: the bracelet was slightly too small. I contacted Rare Carat's support team through chat, and the response was incredibly fast. The exchange process was explained clearly and professionally, and I had the bracelet on its way back the very same day. We decided to move up to a 7-inch, 7-carat bracelet, and I was happy to pay the difference. After Rare Carat received the return, I learned that the replacement would take longer than expected because of inventory availability. While I was disappointed, what happened next is what truly separates a good company from a great one. I reached out to Ajay to express my concerns, and within minutes I received a call from a manager at Rare Carat. She listened carefully, understood my frustration, and immediately offered a solution that exceeded all expectations: they upgraded the bracelet to platinum at no additional cost and expedited the shipment. The bracelet arrived exactly when promised, and my wife couldn't be happier. Seeing her wear it every day makes me smile, and the entire experience has left a lasting impression on me. Rare Carat delivered a beautiful piece of jewelry, but more importantly, they delivered something increasingly rare today—exceptional customer service, genuine care for their customers, and a commitment to making things right. Thank you, Ajay, and the entire Rare Carat team. You have earned a customer for life.

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.
