Learn About Your Diamond

You’ve selected a 2.57 carat radiant lab diamond. 0% of our users choose radiant 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 2.57 carat radiant lab diamond is graded D color (Colorless), and you can read more about D 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 2.57 carat radiant lab 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 am blown away by the customer service and quality earrings I received. When my original order wasn't going to be here in time for my wife's birthday a real live person on the other end of the chat helped me find a better option that could ship sooner. The earrings that arrived so exceeded my expectations and are beautiful. Too often you get a great product or great service and this was one of those rare times that a company offers both at the highest level.

First, the earrings are stunning. But, as beautiful as they are - that takes a backseat to the amazing customer service. From a website chat with a real human to being able to help a procrastinator get his wife's birthday gift here on time, everything was top notch. The people I chatted and emailed with were amazing and I felt like they were invested in making this the best experience for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Rare Carat sets a new standard<br><br>I’ve bought from luxury brands at every level — and Rare Carat genuinely outperforms many of them in what matters most: quality, pricing, and customer care.<br><br>Support is fast, responsive, and actually helpful. The unboxing experience caught me off guard — the level of attention to detail and packaging was something I didn’t expect at this price point.<br><br>Exceptional value, no compromises. I’m a loyal customer now and recommend them without hesitation.

Ordered me a pair of diamond studs on their 4th July sale which were a fantastic price. I was skeptical because I’ve never heard of this company but after reading the reviews a reading some forums, I proceeded with the purchase of them. Let me tell you the customer service was great kept me in the loop, shipping was fast and secure with a signature required to receive them and lastly the best part of all they completed exceeded all my expectations. The diamonds were beautiful with great clarity, quality was superb, I will definitely continue doing business with them.
