Certification & Report
Cut:
You’ve selected a 1.00 carat Cushion natural diamond. 0% of our users choose cushion diamonds. Learn more about them here.
Cut is the most important factor. When an experienced gemologist picks up a diamond grading report, their eyes go to very specific values. They are looking to see if these fall within the desired ranges. Seemingly unimportant values like the depth percentage have a large effect on how your diamond will sparkle - and these values differ for each shape.
Follow the checklist prepared by our gemologists to see how your diamond fares. If it misses by a little bit on one or two, that’s fine, but we recommend trying to find a stone that passes on all:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Symmetry | Very Good or better | Very Good |
Polish | Very Good or better | Excellent |
Girdle Thickness | Thin to Very Thick | Thick - Very Thick |
Table | 55% - 65% | 58.0% |
Depth | 61% - 68% | 69.5% |
Color:
Your 1.00 carat Cushion natural diamond is graded G color (Near Colorless), and you can read more about G color diamonds here.
Color is graded beginning with D (Colorless). Learn more about diamond color here. The market prices colorless diamonds higher as they are rarer, but some people prefer warmer colored stones.
Our gemologists check for following color issues before recommending a diamond:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Color | K-D | G |
Artificial Treatment | No | No |
Fluorescence Color | None or Blue | None |
Fluorescence Strength | Medium or less | None |
Clarity:
Your 1.00 carat Cushion natural diamond is graded SI2 clarity, which stands for Slightly Included 2. Read more about SI2 clarity diamonds here, or learn more about diamond clarity in general here.
There are minimum clarities our gemologists prefer for each shape, but beyond that clarity is a matter of budget and preference. People typically aim for an eye clean stone. Also, our gemologists have certain deal-breakers when it comes to clarity. For example, our gemologists always avoid stones with a cavity, because with one wrong hit your diamond can crack.
Use the checklist below to ensure your diamond passes. Consult us before purchasing to see if any other nuanced issues are present:
| Property | Target | Diamond |
|---|---|---|
Clarity | SI1 or above | SI2 |
Cavity | No | No |
Chip | No | No |
Knot | No | No |
Laser Hole | No | No |
Etch Channel | No | No |
Patch | No | No |

Media & Reviews
I had an exceptional experience with Rare Carat from start to finish. Shout out to Max B! He was so very helpful. Not only did the beautiful earrings arrive ahead of schedule, but the presentation was so gorgeous—every detail felt thoughtful and intentional, which made the entire experience feel truly special. What stood out the most, though, was the customer service. From my own mistake along the way to the final delivery, everything was handled with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Communication was clear and consistent, and the entire process felt seamless. It’s rare these days to come across such a smooth and genuinely pleasant experience, and it definitely did not go unnoticed. There are a lot of other companies out there offering lab diamond jewelry, I'm happy to have found Rare Carat. I believe Rare Carat is absolutely the one to choose knowing you can trust that your experience will be honestly exceptional. I highly recommend Rare Carat and will absolutely be telling others about my experience! Thank you Rare Carat!
Wonderful assistance from staff and picking the right diamond the size, the clarity, etc. it is absolutely gorgeous. I get compliments on it all the time they can’t believe that it’s so big and I just tell them that it is. I would definitely recommend you guys and I will be coming back to you in the future. Thank you.
My fiance absolutely loves the ring. The stone is absolutely perfect and the ring is exactly as advertised. No ridiculous surprises. I spent alot of time shopping different sites and in person. This was the cleanest and easiest to use and provided the best options for customization. I don't plan on needing another engagement ring but I definitely plan on coming back for earrings, bracelets and any other diamond needs.
