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.

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.

Great customer service.

I bought my wife a diamond bracelet last year. The bracelet broke at one of the joints. Rare Earth repaired the bracelet and returned it in new condition. Great customer service and stands behind their product.

I love my ring!

The service at Rare Carat was so great! There was constant, personalized attention through all my questions and needs. I changed my mind a few times and they were with me every step of the way. At first I was very cautious and unsure about making such an important and expensive purchase on line. I visited a few neighborhood jewelers to compare quality, price and inventory….but I had so many more choices and opportunities to customize through Rare Carat. When my diamond arrived - I was amazed at how perfect it was for me! Exactly as promised!

Seamless, easy, perfect.

Rare Caret made the entire process seamless and easy. Being able to see how different diamonds work with different settings, I felt I could design a ring my now fiancé would love. It also ended up being more enjoyable than I imagined! Once the ring design was set, Rare Caret’s communication during the inspection and shipping processes was top notch. I never felt “out of the loop.” The ring has been a showstopper, with her friends and family complementing how beautiful it is! I will definitely use Rare Caret for more jewelry gifts.

We had an amazing experience with the Rare Carat team! We ordered a loose diamond to be set in a custom setting. The stone was exactly as described! Just wonderful cut and color! It came in a matter of days with the GIA cert. and was confirmed by our local jeweler. We ordered during a sale and feel that we received an amazing value for our money!
