Learn About Your Diamond

You’ve selected a 0.30 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 0.30 carat Round natural diamond is graded J color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about J 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 0.30 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.

Amazing customer service. My fiancée loves her ring. Would highly recommend!

After my wife passed, I never thought I would love again. Then I met a wonderful woman and decided to get engaged. I did not want to get just another cookie cutter ring. I found Rare Carat and was able to buy the specific diamond I wanted and have set in the setting I picked. The Rare Carat gemologist and staff stayed in contact with me throughout the process and addressed all my concerns. When I got the ring a few days before I was to propose, Rare Carat reached out to me and admitted to have installed my natural diamond on the setting with lab grown diamonds. I would have never known had they not told me. I told them I was proposing in a few days and they arrange for me to go through the proposal and send me a next day Fed Ex label. I proposed and explained to my now fiance what happened and sent the ring back. A few days later I got it back corrected. I have always received prompt response from Rare Carat and I am currently getting ready to order my very own diamond wedding band from them for my wedding this June. I have looked at many of the other sites and they are very nice. I have found Rare Carat to have a great diversity of styles, options, and inventory. They also are open to create custom rings if you have the time to do so. Highly recommend them.

The ring came out perfectly and the price was amazing. I highly recommend Rare Carat. Their customer service was fantastic. We had to split cost between a wire and cards. They were so accommodating. The CEO chimed in and provided amazing inputs. The team was a pleasure and I look forward to getting the band through them along with our engagement ring.

I was Leary about ordering a ring online but the staff at Rare Carat were amazing. All if my questions were answered quickly and professionally. The attention to detail was more than I had anticipated. Any angst I felt was eased when Ajay reached out to me to ensure my questions and concerns were addressed. I am beyond pleased with how my ring turned out. The delivery was secure, more than I expected and arrived ahead of my projected date.

I had an amazing experience with Rare Carat, and this review is especially for Shane! After sharing some concerns about a few details of my ring design, Shane stepped in and completely elevated the experience. She took the time to listen, walked me through thoughtful options, and gave clear guidance on next steps—which I especially appreciated since this isn’t my area of expertise. From there, I was able to ship my ring to them, and Shane kept me informed every step of the way with consistent updates and transparency. That level of communication and care made all the difference. I got my ring back within the expected timeline and I absolutely love it and so glad I did this. This is what exceptional customer service looks like, and it reflects so positively on the brand. I highly recommend them—especially if you have the chance to work with Shane!

The ring came in a timely manner and the packaging and unboxing experience was great! The finish on the ring is beautiful and even better than that my now fiance said yes!

This was in the email that I sent to Max at Rare Carat who was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much, Max B. About Rare Carat, I think this says it all! "I received the earrings this morning, oh my gosh, they are absolutely perfect. Not only did they arrive ahead of schedule, but the presentation itself was beautiful–every detail felt thoughtful and carefully considered. It truly made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. I have to take this time to recognize how exceptional your customer service has been throughout the process, from me messing up, to today! From communication to delivery, everything was handled with such care and professionalism. It’s rare to find such a seamless and pleasant experience these days. I want to write a letter or email to your company to reiterate just how great your customer service has been. Please let me know where I should send it, and who to send it to. Thank you again for everything–you've made this purchase truly memorable, and I will absolutely be recommending Rare Carat to others."
