Behind the scenes, Rare Carat aggregates many vetted wholesalers, with whom customers never interact.

Awesome experience
The ring and diamond i received were perfect. Beyond that the customer service team goes above and beyond. There was some concern that the ring was not going to ship the time frame that I thought it was going to and the customer care team followed up with me several times to keep me in the loop even though the website status was not updating in real time. I have already recommended Rare Carat to several others and will continue to do so.

Celebrating 35 years
We just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in May. My mother-in-law has a very unique wedding ring I’ve always admired. A few years ago, I found a similar setting, that had a small diamond.
I replaced the small diamond with a beautiful 1.5 carat lab diamond from Rare Carat. It’s more beautiful than I even imagined it would be.
Delivery was fast. Excellent customer service.
Definitely recommend.
