Cut:

4/5

You’ve selected a 3.00 carat Cushion lab diamond. 0% of our users choose cushion 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:

Color:

Your 3.00 carat Cushion lab diamond is graded F color (Colorless), and you can read more about F 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:

Clarity:

7/7

Your 3.00 carat Cushion lab 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:

Diamond Size: 3.00 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 Am WAY MORE than satisfies with my ring!!!!! My fiancé proposed with a small band so that I could choose the ring I wanted. It was a very easy process, Great selection and I was able to build the ring exactly how I wanted it. Delivery was faster than expected and the ring is Beautiful!! It came in a nice ring box with all of the necessary paperwork of appraisal needed for insurance purposes. (This is a 1.08ct Round Cut E VVS2 Diamond set in a 14ct Yellow Gold Ramona 8 pronged Solitaire).

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.
