“I spent months learning about diamonds, reading reviews of different companies, and building rings on different sites. I even made it through a Thanksgiving / Christmas season where most retailers try to convince you they have "once in a lifetime sales". After all of that research, I felt Rare Carat was the best option for my important purchase. There are many good vendors now days but Rare Carats model offers unmatched value. They have listings from many diamond sellers and work with many smaller jewelry craftsman. This allows them to offer a much wider selection than anyone else I found online. Their customer service is second to none; both while researching the right diamond, as well as the purchase and delivery. I can be a difficult customer... lots of questions and high expectations. They never blinked an eye at that. I ended up with a ring and diamond from their fast delivery option, in order to make a vacation deadline. They provided updates all through the process. My order was even noted with the importance of the timing so not only was the status updated online, I received several calls for updates. The ring made it on time and its absolutely perfect (Platinum Pave, 2.3 Ideal VVS1 E). It really is exactly what I wanted. I wouldn't change anything about the ring or the vendor I choose. I tried to build similar rings on other sites and they were $1-$2k more. I leave early tomorrow morning for a cruise to the Bahamas with my soon to be fiancé. I can't wait for her to see her ring! I would note this is a completely independent review, I received nothing in return, just sharing my personal experience!”
