Cut:

8/8

You’ve selected a 5.03 carat round lab 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 5.03 carat round lab diamond is graded E color (Colorless), and you can read more about E color diamonds here.

Clarity:

7/7

Your 5.03 carat round lab diamond is graded VS2 clarity, which stands for Very Slightly Included 2. Read more about VS2 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:

Diamond Size: 5.03 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.

I was SO skeptical about buying off a website I saw advertised on Instagram/Facebook - I have never been happier to be proven so wrong. The communication with the representative(s) was so fast and you could tell the company as a whole was invested in making our day special by having the ring make it on time. The shine is amazing and the prongs are not as around as they appear in the website photo (Norah Solitaire) I am utterly impressed and am telling anyone and everyone about my experience.

Being able to search, sort, and choose a beautiful stone and setting within my budget, and within the parameters I desired, was super simple, not to mention exciting. I was notified all along the way, and delivery of the ring was a promised-- right on time, and even more gorgeous than I even dreamed. The WOW factor far exceeded my expectations and the value for the money was well worth it. Highly recommend.

The Rare Carat experience was nothing short of spectacular. From their prices, ease of ordering through their website, customer service, shipping, and the final customized ring, the process couldn't be easier or better. My fiance has said it's the most beautiful ring she has ever seen, and I agree. Best price for the best ring my money could buy.

From answering questions about clarity, cut, and shape to ordering an engraved ring and having it shipped to a certified spot for me to pick up, rare carat has done a wonderful job. She loves it and so does her friends, but she loves it. I'd definitely recommend. It's a hub of knowledge and I spent like 2 years on the site waiting for the right one to use it for.
