Cut:

4/5

You’ve selected a 2.96 carat Emerald lab diamond. 0% of our users choose emerald 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 2.96 carat Emerald 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.

Clarity:

7/7

Your 2.96 carat Emerald lab diamond is graded VS1 clarity, which stands for Very Slightly Included 1. Read more about VS1 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: 2.96 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.

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 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!

I really enjoyed the experience of choosing a diamond and a setting rather than just picking a ring. It was made in no time at all with communication through the process. I also came back for a second purchase of the wedding band that matches.
