Cut: Rare Carat Ideal

5/5

You’ve selected a 1.61 carat heart lab diamond. 0% of our users choose heart 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

Your diamond

Rare Carat Ideal

Property	Target	Diamond
Symmetry	Very Good or better	Excellent
Polish	Very Good or better	Excellent
Girdle Thickness	Thin to Very Thick	Thick
Table	53% - 63%	58.0%
Depth	55% - 63%	57.7%

Color: D

3/3

Your 1.61 carat heart 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.

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	D
Artificial Treatment	No	No
Fluorescence Color	None or Blue	None
Fluorescence Strength	Faint or less	None

Clarity: VVS1

7/7

Your 1.61 carat heart lab 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

Property	Target	Diamond
Clarity	SI1 or above	VVS1

Diamond Size: 1.61 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.

We found Rare Carat, Inc. to be the most affordable and most reputable place online to purchase my wedding ring. Their customer service department is the best! Easy to work with and so kind. A feature of their website that I love is that they have on each setting page, a "recent orders" tab to click on and see other rings made with that setting, different size center stones, different colors of gold, and different shaped center stones to give you an idea of what your ring might look like. VERY helpful! The ring was made upon ordering, received in a timely fashion on time and packaged extremely well. The ring is just stunning. We are very pleased. Would recommend them highly to everyone.

I loved the customization online. They shipped it out on time. They allowed me to pick it up from a FedEx store so my partner didn’t know that something was delivered. I’m so glad I made the purchase through Rare Carat. She loves the ring. It’s beautiful.

The ring was beyond my expectations. The images online are not bad, they didn't do it justice though. The brilliance, quality and size were beyond what I inagined. Fiancé was blown away. Everything was packaged with care and with signature delivery i had peace of mind. Would highly recommend

The ring came out amazing. To add, this company was nothing but amazing to work with. While all the issues arose from me making simple mistakes from missing the engraving to not reading the delivery date, they worked with me on everything. They were prompt to reply to every email, they made sure everything was done right and where able to get the ring out early so I could have it in time for my trip, they even offered to ship it somewhere else to make sure I would have it if I needed it. On top of the shipping, since I wouldn’t be home to sign for the delivery, they assisted in finding me a place I could ship it to and pick it up from there at my convenience. I would recommend RareCarat to anyone interested in jewelry at all. The price was amazing, customer service was out of this world. I’m very happy.

Great price and she loved the ring. Everything was easy, since choosing it until it was delivered and then they emailed me to make sure everything was right. Now I’m about to order our wedding bands and we’ve been messaging them and the customer service is awesome.
