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.

The ring is amazing and my fiance absolutely loves it!! Planning on getting a matching wedding band from them as well because we're just so happy with it. Their team is also really punctual and has no problem working with you! I made a mistake, and made a typo in the engraving, and when I reached out to them they handled it so quickly!! I have never experienced that level of customer service 100/10 experience!
