Choosing the perfect lab-grown diamond is easy when you're reviewing Rare Carat Diamonds. The key to perfect proposals is having a very good idea of what diamond cut and which ring style will best suit your beloved. If you're intended recipient loves flash and sparkle, a Heart Shaped Diamond, round or Princess cut is ideal. If your beloved works with their hands or likes a more understated ring, a cushion cut or Asscher cut diamond may be more to their liking. If you want just one fabulous diamond to dazzle your future partner, a single emerald cut may be just what you need.

Cut Considerations

If your beloved loves a lot of sparkle and flash, you want a diamond with as many facets as possible. Both the round diamond and the heart-shaped diamond will serve your purpose and sparkle is your goal. When you shop here for lab-grown diamonds, it's also a good idea to think about cost.

Round cut diamonds are slightly more expensive than other cuts. The process of creating facets in a round cut diamond means removing more material which can't be used for anything else. That being said, round cuts are among the most popular rings for proposals and other celebratory events.

Heart-shaped diamonds are currently less popular in terms of the diamonds that you'll see on display. Because you can customize your ring design before giving it to your beloved in a memorable proposal, you don't need to worry about buying a ring designed by someone else. If they love sparkle, a heart-shaped lab grown diamond will deliver plenty of visual appeal and give your intended a one-of-a-kind piece that they will treasure.

Color Factors

Depending on the minerals in the material before the diamond is formed, it's possible to purchase diamonds with a yellow or brown tint. As a general rule, diamonds that feature these tints are not obvious, though there are collectors that aim to invest specifically in these shades. Diamonds that are not completely clear can be less expensive.

 A diamond cut that doesn't include a flat table or top can still reflect a lot of light with a bit of color in the body of the stone. If your budget is very tight, or if your intended loves stones with a bit more personality, a yellow or brown diamond may be perfect.

Clarity

When reviewing a diamond for quality, clarity refers to both surface blemishes and inclusions. Inclusion is different from colour; many inclusions look like salt and pepper within the stone. There are diamond collectors who seek out salt and pepper diamonds.

 Most inclusions and surface blemishes are so small as to be invisible to the eye. However, they will impact the quality and price of your diamond. In the world of mined diamonds, differences in clarity can make a huge difference in what you will pay for a stone. However, if your goal is to purchase the more environmentally friendly lab-created gem, clarity will not be as big a concern.

 Facet placement again will have an impact on how an inclusion reads across the face of the stone. If your intended is a fan of more old-fashioned stones or prefers a lower-profile setting for safety's sake, it may make more sense to look at a cushion cut. This cut is a gently rounded square with a flat top or table. While there are facets on the side, you can see down into the body of the stone. Interesting inclusions, such as black or white flecks, will be easy to see.

Carat

Carat refers to size. Depending on your budget, it may make more sense to simply invest in a 1 carat diamond solitaire in the cut that best suits your intended. If you want to move up in size by adding a halo around the center diamond, you may choose to go up to 1.5 total carats or even 2 total carats for the ring.

Remember that this ring will be worn by your beloved each day. One of the big challenges for new engagement ring wearers is a tendency to knock the ring on the surface while they get used to wearing it. If they work with their hands, they may also find that a tall ring design creates special challenges. A ring setting that wraps the diamond, rather than a solitaire design, may be easier to manage.

No matter what style you choose, make sure you design and purchase your ring from Rare Carat. You will not only be able to put more of your budget into the diamond of your dreams, but you can design a piece that is unique to your beloved. Rare Carat has an excellent rating both on Google Business and Trust Pilot.
