Cut:

8/8

You’ve selected a 2.34 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:

Clarity:

7/7

Your 2.34 carat Round natural diamond is graded SI2 clarity, which stands for Slightly Included 2. Read more about SI2 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:

Used the ring to purpose to my now fiancé on stage with Kid Rock so I’m not sure if the ring or the moment blew her away but she definitely loves the ring!!

My experience with everyone at Rare Carat is nothing short of incredible. After my first purchase was not as expected no fault of Rare Carat but my own personal preference, an easy refund and return was quickly approved. Then when Rare Carat contacted me for more feedback and offered a chance to make me happy, I was more than surprised. After other suggestions were made and a spectacular lab grown pink diamond was chosen along with a change in the metal color in the same setting, the final product exceeded my expectations. The exchange was simple and easy. Rare Carat went out of their way with such genuine concern that I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. Thank you everyone and especially Mr. Ajay. Your customer service and products are superb. You cant go wrong when you choose to purchase from Rare Carat. You receive an appraisal, IGI certificate and a money back guarantee. A very very happy customer. Jackie

Great customer service. Knowledgeable gemologist. Felt confident buying a natural beautiful D FL stone GIA certified with a value of over 30K. Great price, similar stones were 2-5 thousand above Rare Karate. The stone arrived on time, confirmed my stone and certification at my local jewler and had my wife's ring completed for the event.

This review is way past due as I purchased an engagement ring back in December 2024 and am now currently married! The process of getting the ring was incredibly easy and stress free, and this was about a couple months of researching rings for hours on end. I was in communication with a few from the Rare Carat team (Shane, Gloria, Christina, & Michael) about changes/modifications/etc. and they were all very kind, transparent, and stress-free to work with! The ring came out exactly how I wanted and even then, it exceeded my expectations and of course, my wife loved it and still loves staring at it from time to time. Highly reccomend Rare Carat for any engagement rings!

They kept me well informed of where my diamond was. I felt confident that they were inspecting my stone to be sure it was perfect. When the diamond came, I was more than thrilled with it. Just as described and beautiful!
