You’ve selected a 0.51 carat Marquise natural diamond. 0% of our users choose marquise 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:

Good

Very Good

Excellent

Rare Carat Ideal

Property	Target	Diamond
Symmetry	Very Good or better	Very Good
Polish	Very Good or better	Excellent
Girdle Thickness	Thin to Very Thick	Sli. Thick - Very Thick
Table	53% - 63%	58.0%
Depth	58% - 63%	62.9%

Your 0.51 carat Marquise natural diamond is graded E color (Colorless), and you can read more about E 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.

Our gemologists check for following color issues before recommending a diamond:

(K-Z)

(G-J)

Your diamond

(D-F)

Property	Target	Diamond
Color	K-D	E
Artificial Treatment	No	No
Fluorescence Color	None or Blue	None
Fluorescence Strength	Faint or less	Faint

Your 0.51 carat Marquise natural diamond is graded VVS1 clarity, which stands for Very Very Slightly Included 1. Read more about VVS1 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:

SI2-SI1

VS2-VS1

Your diamond

VVS2-VVS1

IF-FL

Property	Target	Diamond
Clarity	SI1 or above	VVS1
Cavity	No	Yes
Chip	No	No
Knot	No	No
Laser Hole	No	No
Etch Channel	No	No
Patch	No	No

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.

This was truly one of the best experiences anyone could have when searching for a ring. I was able to work directly with the CEO of the company, Ajay, who handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. He genuinely cared about the process of finding the ring just as much as I did, and it showed when I received it—the emerald-cut ring turned out absolutely beautiful. It was a 10 out of 10 experience, and my fiancée loved it. I would highly recommend Rare Carat to anyone looking to purchase an engagement ring or any ring. You’ll be treated with true care and professionalism from start to finish.

Buying a diamond ring from Rare Carat was a great experience from start to finish. Their website is very easy to use and makes it simple to customize exactly what you want. I was able to take advantage of a really good Black Friday deal, which made the purchase even better. Customer service was outstanding—super responsive and informative through email, even on the weekends. Delivery felt very secure with a signature required upon arrival, which gave peace of mind for such a big purchase. My wife absolutely loved the ring. As a bonus, Rare Carat included free diamond earrings and a ring sizing kit, which was helpful in case the size ordered wasn’t quite right and to double-check sizing beforehand. Overall, a smooth, trustworthy experience and I would definitely recommend Rare Carat to anyone looking to buy a diamond ring.

Buying through rare carat was the best experience. Everyone on the team I worked with was super helpful and friendly and answered all questions with ease and changed my order multiple times without complaint. And the set up to delivery process was very straightforward and updated in real time, every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend.
