Cut:

5/5

You’ve selected a 1.01 carat princess natural diamond. 0% of our users choose princess 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:

Color:

Your 1.01 carat princess natural diamond is graded G color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about G 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:

Clarity:

7/7

Your 1.01 carat princess 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:

Diamond Size: 1.01 Carat

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.

The overall process was easy. Had definition on what things meant to help with the understanding of the product. So many different selections and price ranges that it was cool to mess around till I found something within my budget that was nice.

The ring is amazing and my fiance absolutely loves it!! Planning on getting a matching wedding band from them as well because we're just so happy with it. Their team is also really punctual and has no problem working with you! I made a mistake, and made a typo in the engraving, and when I reached out to them they handled it so quickly!! I have never experienced that level of customer service 100/10 experience!

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!

Everything was so easy and very well explained. I didn’t know anything about rings or diamonds. There is a lot of available information on the site to guide me through. Also, customer service was excellent!

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!!
