Cut:

8/8

You’ve selected a 3.01 carat Round natural diamond. 0% of our users choose round 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:

Clarity:

7/7

Your 3.01 carat Round natural diamond is graded SI1 clarity, which stands for Slightly Included 1. Read more about SI1 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:

Diamond Size: 3.01 Carat

My fiance and I got my engagement ring and wedding band both from rare carat and they are both simply amazing and absolutely stunning! From the amazing customer service to the packaging and fast shipping everything has been amazing. The diamond experts are truly experts. They helped my fiance select the most perfect diamond with cut clarity and color for my engagement ring and they helped me select a unique yet elegant wedding band. I have also had to ship my engagement ring back for resizing too and the process is so simple and seamless. Hands down the best experience!

Used the ring to purpose to my now fiancé on stage with Kid Rock so I’m not sure if the ring or the moment blew her away but she definitely loves the ring!!
