Cut:

8/8

You’ve selected a 0.68 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:

Your 0.68 carat round 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.

Clarity:

7/7

Your 0.68 carat round natural diamond is graded SI2 clarity, which stands for Slightly Included 2. Read more about SI2 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: 0.68 Carat

Well worth the money. The ring is stunning. It’s a little scary buying an item for big $$$$$ sight unseen and over the internet- but Rare Carat is legit!!

Had great service! My ring box was broken, and they went a new one within a day. Ease of selection, and help from Gemologists was all a great part of the experience. The ring was so beautiful! She loved it. Thanks RareCarat team.
