Learn About Your Diamond

You’ve selected a 5.02 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:

Your 5.02 carat cushion lab diamond is graded E color (Colorless), and you can read more about E 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 5.02 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:

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 was looking for a stone with very precise specifications and Amy absolutely nailed it! The cut, color, clarity, and exact size were absolutely PERFECT, and everyone I interacted with throughout the process was incredibly helpful and professional. I can’t recommend Rare Carat enough, and I can’t wait to see the look on my girlfriend’s face when she sees this ring…

We were looking for an eternity band with lab-grown diamonds and had gone to local brick and mortar to get some ideas, but the prices were ridiculous. I found Rare Carat in a search and loved everything the site had to offer, and found a band i really feel in love with. But to buy an expensive purchase like an eternity band? We were hesitant. We checked every review we could find and couldn't find anything negative about them! Everything was 5-stars and their return policy seemed on the up-and-up. I even asked questions through their GIA hemolytic chat and got all my questions clearly answered.<br><br>Using a credit card "just in case" and bit the bullet. We got instant confirmation by email and a few days later, I got an email to confirm my address. There was a delivery target date range of a few days (Aug 13-17) and on Aug 12, I got a FedEx tracking number and on the 13th, my ring was in my hands!<br><br>The ring is beautiful and the bonus earrings were a nice touch. We are really happy with the quality and it compliments my wedding set perfectly! We will definitely consider Rate Carat for future purchases.

RE: Rarecarat.com. I was skeptical about purchasing my platinum wedding band online, but the reviews I read were outstanding. So, I took the plunge. So many beautiful options! I fell in love with the Linda Curved Pavé Diamond Band. Once I placed the order I received the ring on time as promised. I had to sign for a regular brown box, as promised the company was discreet with their shipping. I love the white box my ring and gift came in. I asked my husband of 42 years to open up the package and put the ring on my finger. He did…so special. I love my ring! Its quality is outstanding. The diamonds are beautiful and perfect! I’m so in love. Thank you for making my dream come true. The price was perfect and made it all possible. Sincerely, Syl from NY
