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.

Simple and Easy

Picking the ring was simple and easy to understand. I really did love the skin tone feature which really helped in picking her ring. Shipping was also a plus i really like the next day shipping once the ring is ready.

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.

I bought a ring for my wife to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and the experience was excellent. The website was easy to navigate, the selection of rings was beautiful, and the pricing was good (though it could have been slightly lower). The delivery arrived on time, and the entire process was smooth and hassle-free.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it.
