Cut:

5/5

You’ve selected a 0.23 carat marquise lab diamond. 0% of our users choose marquise 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 0.23 carat marquise lab diamond is graded D color (Colorless), and you can read more about D 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 0.23 carat marquise 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: 0.23 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 best experience I could’ve imagined. When I was still shopping around at other jewelers I called to ask a couple questions and spoke to a rep and they sold me on Rare Carat with how nice and professional they were I couldn’t have asked for a better purchasing experience

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.

I was very happy with my experience buying from Rare Carat. It was great to be able to pick out a diamond and a setting separately. There is a great selection of both and it helped me to be able to see all of the characteristics of each individual diamond. As a non-expert who doesn't have a trained eye, I felt more confident in my purchase than if I had gone and picked out a ring that was already made at a jewelry store. The resources and information available on the Rare Carat site are very helpful, the service was great and the time to create the ring and have it delivered was quick. I love that they offer free resizing. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and my fiancee loves her ring!

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.

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.
