Certification & Report
Cut:
You’ve selected a 6.18 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:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Cut | Excellent | Excellent |
Symmetry | Very Good or better | Excellent |
Polish | Very Good or better | Excellent |
Girdle Percentage | 2.5% - 4% | 3.0% |
Girdle Thickness | Thin to Thick | Thin - Med. |
Table | 54% - 60% | 60.0% |
Depth | 59% - 63% | 59.3% |
Crown Angle | 33° - 35° | 32.0° |
Color:
Your 6.18 carat Round natural diamond is graded I color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about I 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:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Color | K-D | I |
Artificial Treatment | No | No |
Fluorescence Color | None or Blue | None |
Fluorescence Strength | Very Strong or less | None |
Clarity:
Your 6.18 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:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Clarity | SI2 or above | SI1 |
Cavity | No | No |
Chip | No | No |
Knot | No | No |
Laser Hole | No | No |
Etch Channel | No | No |
Patch | No | No |

Media & Reviews
This whole process was simple. I'm dumb, and did my research on diamonds. When it came to picking the right one though, I still doubted myself. I used one of the chat helpers after I picked my diamond. She came through and found a better and bigger one for me at the a lesser cost. I used the credit system to pay for it and had it delivered to a Fed Ex. The packaging was beautiful and the ring is gorgeous. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend snooped and saw it hidden in my closet though. To make her regret this, I have been dropping forks at nice restaurants we have been going to. Then I jump out of my seat and drop to my one knee. I pull a rag out my pocket to clean the fork while on one knee. I hold out the fork while I clean it so it has the perfect light on it. I just look bewildered as she thinks something more than my fork getting cleaned is coming. "Oh no, baby. This is just a $300 steak dinner. Nothing special is coming from this but the perfectly aged ribeye I ordered." Then when she gets complacent, I'm going to take her to Denny's. I will pop the question there as I put the 3.25 carat, emerald cut diamond in her ranch and she finds it. That will teach her to snoop, but if she says "yes" after all this, I'm the real winner. The ring is beautiful though and "shines like a diamond in a hog's ass," as my father would say. Rare Carat is legit and did a great job and I highly recommend them. I posted some pics of the ring along with a picture of our cat high on cat nip.
With a variety of styles, and fitting to choose from, I was able to get her something that really went with who she is. Her excitement was only limited by her smile and tears. The ring was incredible. The purchase was easy, shipping was secure, and I will be adding to her collection soon.
I was not prepared for this level of customer service and timeliness. Just wow! The emails are monitored and answered by real humans. The shipping is very fast and the product packaging is truly gift quality. I’ve taken pictures of these lab diamonds in<br>multiple lighting and they are returning the light as well as all of my natural diamonds. These are 2ctw rose gold screw back and 1/3 ctw platinum guardian back. I actually could have stood to go 1.5ctw instead to match the size of other natural diamond pieces but I’m not mad at these. They offer a great standalone profile for work and elevating daily looks. I will be back at my next milestone moment :) what a treat!
