Certification & Report

Learn about your diamond

You’ve selected a 2.23 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 2.23 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.

Your 2.23 carat round 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:

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 couldn’t be happier with my experience purchasing an engagement ring from Rare Carat! Buying a ring for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with is a huge moment, and Rare Carat made the entire process so much easier. The ring is absolutely stunning, and the quality and attention to detail are incredible. Most importantly, my fiancée absolutely loves it! I couldn’t have asked for a better ring to symbolize such a special moment in our lives. I would highly recommend Rare Carat to anyone looking for a beautiful engagement ring. Thank you for helping make one of the biggest moments of my life so memorable!

I've purchased from Rare Carrot multiple times and have always been impressed with the quality of their products and fast service. Even when I had an issue with shipping, their team was quick to step in and make things right. A special thanks to Jeff Bachand for his excellent customer service management, responsiveness, and attention to detail. It's refreshing to work with a company that truly cares about its customers. I appreciate the great service and will definitely continue doing business with Rare Carrot. Highly recommend!
