Shopping for diamonds, rings, and other jewelry can often be an arduous process, especially for someone not familiar with all the available options.  That’s where Rare Carat comes in.  Rare Carat is a trusted online marketplace for diamond jewelry that simplifies the process of researching and finding the perfect diamond, ring, necklace, earrings, or other jewelry items.  

Bezel-set diamonds are popular because they possess a minimalist and contemporary design that works well with several style rings, (such as solitaire, halo, or vintage-inspired) and pairs beautifully with round, oval, emerald, and cushion-cut diamonds. Additionally, bezel-set diamonds are usually more secure because the metal rim reduces the risk of chipping or other damage. However, if you want a more traditional ring with beauty and durability, there are plenty of options, like the Rare Carat 6 prong basket setting.

If you’re looking for a bezel-set diamond (or other types of diamond jewelry) Rare Carat can help you make informed diamond-buying decision by comparing prices, quality and certification.  Some of Rare Carat’s most popular bezel-set rings are:

Classic Bezel Solitaire Rings – Simple and timeless design (Rare Carat bezel set diamonds are perfect for a modern engagement ring).

Bezel Halo Rings – Combine the security of a bezel with the exceptional brilliance of a halo.

East-West Bezel Settings – A trendy horizontal orientation providing a unique and elegant styling, such as the Rare Carat east west emerald diamond ring.

Two-Tone Bezel Rings – Provides a contemporary contrast of yellow/rose gold with white gold.

The Rare Carat website is incredibly intuitive to use and it makes the process of finding a diamond straightforward.  Once a user has found a diamond that catches his eye, he can request a free Rare Carat Report – an AI generated report that compares 50 different aspects of the diamond and compares it to millions of other diamonds.  The report will discuss any quality issues that might be found with the diamond, such as symmetry problems, chips, or color tint.  For a limited time, users can also request a free human GIA-trained gemologist’s expert opinion about a diamond (whether someone is looking to buy or sell).

Diamond pricing can vary considerably, and the “4Cs” of diamonds (cut, clarity, color, carat weight) are all important variables.  Carat weight is the most important.  A well-cut diamond can drastically improve its brilliance, while a poor cut can dramatically reduce its value.  Clarity is the next important characteristic of a diamond.  The clarity score ranges from FL (flawless) to I3 (included) which measures inclusions and other imperfections.  Next, colorless diamonds (G-H-I) usually command the highest price while diamonds containing a tint (D-F) usually sell for less.  Lastly, the weight of the diamond (in terms of carats) also affects the value.  However, bigger diamonds don’t always sell for more.  The weight distribution of a diamond also plays a crucial role in determining price.

Certification and market trends affect diamond prices too.  There are different grading reports GIA vs. IGI vs. AGS to consider, but dating away from uncertified diamonds is usually good advice for all but the most well-versed buyers.  Furthermore, diamond prices can fluctuate seasonally and supply chain changes can also have an effect.

Rare Carat offers tools to help buyers find the best deals on diamonds by allowing them to choose from the combinations of diamond characteristics and price.  Start with the 8-step quiz to help you narrow down the type of jewelry, set your budget, diamond shape, type, size, and quality.  When you’ve finished the quiz, you’ll be presented with the best-value results in an easy-to read format.  From there, you can adjust the product-selection filters and view the intricate details of each item.  It’s also easy to modify your search to find more cost effective options. For example, switching to another cut (such as emerald, oval, or cushion) can often times lead to a better value. 

Another great feature of the Rare Carat website is that you can track your search.  If you know what you’re looking for and want to be notified when new matching products become available, Rare Carat makes that easy.  Just click the “track this search” button.  Hint: keep an eye out for active promotions and discount codes to save even more!
