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

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.

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
