About Rare Carat

Written by the company

What is Rare Carat?

Rare Carat is one of the leading diamond jewelry retailers in the United States, and best rated jeweler on Trustpilot since 2024. In 2021, Rare Carat pivoted away from its initial "search engine" business model and started accepting payments. This allowed the company to become merchant of record on all transactions and take end-to-end responsibility for customer service and satisfaction. Behind the scenes, like in traditional retail, Rare Carat aggregates many vetted wholesalers with whom the customers never interact. All products sold on Rare Carat come in a Rare Carat branded box, the company no longer selling products from third party brands. The company has gained a reputation for exceptional customer protection, customer service, quality and pricing. Learn More about the company here: About Rare Carat

Written by the company

"The Secret to Buying the Perfect Diamond" - The New York Times
Rare Carat is one of the leading diamond jewelry retailers in the United States. It operates on a “managed marketplace” model, combining the selection advantages of marketplaces with the quality assurance of traditional retailers. Founded in 2016, the company initially started as a diamond search engine (“Kayak for Diamonds”). In 2021, Rare Carat pivoted away from the search engine model, started accepting payments (becoming merchant of record) and taking end-to-end responsibility for customer service and satisfaction. Behind the scenes, Rare Carat aggregates many vetted wholesalers, with whom customers never interact. The company has gained a reputation for exceptional customer protection, customer service, quality and pricing.

Should I buy my engagement ring on Rare Carat?

We accept returns within 30 days of shipment for a full refund, no fine print. Just contact one of our gemologists in chat or email help@rarecarat.com to initiate the return and get your pre-paid shipping label.

super worth it

Took a while to get but super worth it.

Slightly out of my price range but again super worth it.
I held on to the ring for another month before proposing but the ring was a HIT!
Although not a full carat diamond, the diamond is pretty good size. Overall it was received well with much love and this was honestly an easy process

The return policy is amazing since…

The return policy is amazing since you’re purchasing high end fine jewelry without seeing it in person and trying it on first for style, comfort and fit. The people at Rare Carat are kind, helpful and patient. I worked with Lawrence on three occasions in selecting natural mined large carat diamond pieces. I highly recommend Lawrence for his expertise and knowledge as a GIA GG, and for his kindness.

In my opinion, Rare Carat is the way to go. They strive to make you happy!

Hi Cynthia,

We are so glad the return policy gave you added confidence when purchasing fine jewelry online. Creating a transparent and comfortable experience is incredibly important to us, and we are happy that Lawrence’s expertise, patience, and support made such a positive impact.

Thank you for trusting Rare Carat with these meaningful pieces and for your continued recommendation!

I am very happy with 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!

Most importantly, we are delighted that your fiancée loves her ring.
