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.

Flawless experience and incredible value!
Shopping for an engagement ring on Rare Carat was an absolute pleasure. The website is incredibly user-friendly, offering excellent search filters, comparison tools, and curated favorites lists that make narrowing down choices simple. Every diamond featured high-quality photos, videos, and accurate documentation, which gave me complete confidence in my choice.
Customer support was phenomenal. Both the live chat and phone representatives were essential in helping me make my final decision. Communication remained excellent before, during, and after the transaction.
The ring and stone exceeded my very high expectations and perfectly matched the online description. We got an amazing deal and unmatched value. We had our diamond and ring independently appraised comparable to and better than Rare Carats representation and appraisal.
We are completely satisfied, will absolutely buy from Rare Carat again, and highly recommend them!

Wonderful experience
First off, the ring was packaged great! The overnight shipping was greatly appreciated. The ring itself was beautiful. She absolutely loves it so much that she sleeps with it on. It was exactly what she wanted and I am so grateful it turned out the way it did. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Top tier service and quality
First, the earrings are stunning. But, as beautiful as they are - that takes a backseat to the amazing customer service. From a website chat with a real human to being able to help a procrastinator get his wife's birthday gift here on time, everything was top notch. The people I chatted and emailed with were amazing and I felt like they were invested in making this the best experience for me.
