Cut:

5/5

You’ve selected a 1.00 carat oval natural diamond. 0% of our users choose oval 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 1.00 carat oval natural diamond is graded J color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about J 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:

Clarity:

7/7

Your 1.00 carat oval 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:

Diamond Size: 1.00 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.

My boyfriend proposed recently and wanted us to pick out a ring together. Rare Carat has amazing reviews so we chose them for making our purchase. They made it easy to select the perfect band and diamond shape and size. I was able to create a beautiful ring. The chat support was helpful with questions we had and our overall experience was great! My ring was delivered a few weeks later and is even more gorgeous in person! When my fiancé and I opened the box together we both gasped! I cannot recommend Rare Carat enough.

Rare Carat makes it simple to compare diamonds and prices from different sellers. The site is easy to use, though there are a lot of choices to review.

Not only do my Fiancee and I love her Wedding band and Engagement ring, we love the price, the looks, quality and every interaction we've had with customer service on the phone. There's no long wait times. They're open late. You actually speak to a human being from the US. Additionally, my recent conversation with Amina about getting the rings re-sized was so pleasant. She had energy, she was knowledge and provided detailed advice. Thank you Rare Carat.

Well worth the money. The ring is stunning. It’s a little scary buying an item for big $$$$$ sight unseen and over the internet- but Rare Carat is legit!!

Great info on selecting the proper size and metal to hold the diamond. Proper size recommendation, stops the ring from floating on the finger.
