Rare Carat vs. Factory Direct FAQs

Get clear answers on diamond grading, price differences, logistics, and our price beat guarantee.

Yes, Rare Carat is a legitimate US diamond marketplace that aggregates loose diamond inventory from third-party diamond retailers and wholesalers. However, because Rare Carat operates as a broker platform and its listed vendors include their own retail markups, shoppers frequently pay 40% to 65% higher prices than purchasing directly from the primary diamond manufacturer in Surat, India.

New Origin Diamonds owns and operates CVD plasma reactors and precision laser faceting studios in Surat, Gujarat, India—the global hub where over 90% of all diamonds are cut. Unlike Rare Carat, which stacks marketplace platform fees, vendor commissions, and US import distributor overhead on top of the diamond, we sell direct to American couples and custom jewelers at primary factory wholesale cost.

Yes, they are 100% physically, chemically, and optically identical. In fact, many of the loose diamonds listed on Rare Carat originate from Surat manufacturing facilities just like ours. All New Origin Diamonds are certified Type IIa (the purest diamond crystal structure with zero nitrogen impurities), graded with Triple Excellent cut, polish, and symmetry, and laser-inscribed with a verifiable laboratory report number.

Absolutely. Every diamond over 0.50 carats is accompanied by a genuine, verifiable digital grading certificate from either the International Gemological Institute (IGI) or the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The report number is microscopically laser-inscribed onto the diamond's girdle for complete transparency and verification.

If you find a lab grown diamond on Rare Carat that fits your desired specifications, simply share the IGI/GIA certificate number, link, or 4Cs specs with our team via our quote form or WhatsApp. Within 2 business hours, our master gemologists will provide you with an identical or superior stone from our Surat inventory at a guaranteed lower factory price (typically saving you 30% to 50%).

We provide free, fully insured express delivery (via FedEx International Priority or Brink's) to all 50 US states. Every parcel is 100% covered against loss or damage in transit, requires a direct signature upon delivery, and includes full US customs clearance support handled by our dedicated logistics team.

Yes. Our master jewelers can recreate any engagement ring setting—including solitaires, hidden halos, pavé bands, three-stone trellises, bezel mounts, and vintage filigree designs in Solid 14K/18K Gold or 950 Platinum. We provide full 3D CAD renders and approval stages before casting to ensure flawless execution.
