Learn About Your Diamond

You’ve selected a 1.02 carat Radiant natural diamond. 0% of our users choose radiant 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 1.02 carat Radiant natural 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:

Your 1.02 carat Radiant natural diamond is graded IF clarity, which stands for Internally Flawless. Read more about IF 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 had an outstanding experience with Rare Carat while purchasing an engagement ring, and I especially want to recognize Von for the incredible customer service he provided throughout the process. I spoke with several representatives during my search, but Von truly stood out from everyone else. He went above and beyond to answer all of my questions, provide detailed information, and make sure I felt confident and comfortable with such an important purchase. His professionalism, patience, responsiveness, and overall knowledge were honestly impressive. Buying an engagement ring can feel overwhelming, but Von made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and exciting. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about helping customers the way he does. Rare Carat is lucky to have someone like Von representing their company. He absolutely deserves recognition — and honestly, a raise. Thank you again, Von, for all your help and for making this such a great experience.

I gave Rare Carat a custom design order and they knocked it out of the park! Absolutely beautiful platinum engagement ring with a center natural yellow diamond. Very high quality. I would definitely order from them again. If I did, I would have a little bit more of a collaboration with the design team. There was one thing I wish I would've done differently but I didn't know to ask about it. If I could offer one piece of feedback for RC it's to make proactive suggestions if they feel something could be improved. For my ring specifically, because it was surrounded in platinum it didn't bring out the yellowness of the diamond like I imagined when I ordered the loose stone. It looked whiter. So I have taken it to a local jeweler to add a 24k gold "basket" beneath the center stone to accentuate the yellow. It is only costing a few hundred more dollars but it's something I feel could've been suggested by the design team. Anyway, it's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. My wife will absolutely love it when I give it to her next month.

Amazing quality, customer service and an overall great experience. My now fiancé and I enjoyed this process so much and she absolutely loves the ring. I will never buy quality jewelry elsewhere, this truly was an experience of a lifetime that Kaitlyn and I will cherish forever. What a great beginning to Forever & Always!
