Behind the Scenes: How Engagement Rings Are Crafted Today

An engagement ring is more than just a shiny piece of jewelry—it shows commitment, accuracy, and skill. The finished ring is beautiful, but making it requires a mix of art, science, and tech.

In today’s diamond market, people care about being open and getting exactly what they want. Rare Carat is a leader in this, mixing tech, checked supply chains, and human smarts. Here’s how engagement rings are made today—and why Rare Carat is leading the way.

Getting the Diamond: Ethically and Openly

The first step in making a ring is picking the main diamond. Rare Carat gets over a million diamonds from trusted suppliers, giving customers a big selection that’s checked for quality.

Unlike other stores, Rare Carat doesn’t just sell what it has. The site uses AI to grade and price diamonds, showing customers the best stones for their needs. This lets people compare stones by quality and price, thanks to the tech.

Checking Diamonds: Lab Diamonds vs. Moissanite

Once a diamond is picked, it’s checked to make sure it’s real. This is very important for lab-grown diamonds, to prove they aren’t fake like moissanite. Rare Carat teaches customers about this, so they know they’re getting good quality.

Rare Carat provides cost-free diamond reviews with its gemologists helping customers to learn the actual quality scores, and dodge misinformation about lab-grown and natural diamonds.

Starting the Design: CAD and Customization

With a diamond, the ring design can begin. Most rings start as digital CAD models, so they’re perfect and easy to change. Designers can adjust the prongs, band width, and height before anything is made.

Rare Carat’s jewelers work with customers to customize these models, so the result is what they want.

Casting and Molds: Making Ideas Real

After a CAD design is done, it’s made into a wax or resin model and then cast in metal—usually platinum, white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold.

Rare Carat teaches customers about casting and how these metals change with heat and polishing. This makes them value the work that goes into their ring.

Setting the Stone: The Final Touch

Once the band is ready, the diamond is set by hand. Accuracy is key—loose prongs or bad alignment can ruin the look and strength.

Rare Carat only works with great jewelers, ensuring the setting matches the stone’s quality and what the customer wants. Every ring is checked for quality before it’s sent out. It’s polished and inspected for symmetry and quality, inside and out.

Rare Carat provides warranty protection (insured shipping, money-back in 30 days, and 1-year free resizing). This gives peace of mind, knowing the purchase is safe and Rare Carat wants you to be happy.
