With Clarity Review: Digitally Native and Owned by Global Powerhouse, best of both worlds for the consumer

With Clarity is a top choice for diamonds, diamond jewelry and diamond engagement rings, both natural and lab grown. Backed by a massive jewelry manufacturing company, they are recognized as an important destination for any bride or couple seeking a lab grown diamond engagement ring or diamond jewelry

This guide aims to provide comprehensive information to assist consumers in making informed purchase decisions. We carefully analyze every diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring retailer to deliver the best advice on how to optimize value and where to get the most for your money. Our goal is to organize and present all the things that consumers should know before buying. We writes these articles personally (never with AI) and we update them regularly based upon our understanding only an insider would know. Our Editor has spent four decades as a global leader in the diamond jewelry industry having led six wholesale and retail jewelry companies, been a select client of DeBeers and a pioneer in the birth of lab grown diamonds. His family has been in the diamond business for over a century.

Purchasing a diamond or diamond engagement ring is a significant investment and can be intimidating and even frightening. Consumers often worry about making informed decisions and finding trustworthy retailers. When purchasing a product with which one is unfamiliar, it is important to invest the time to get educated on both the product, and the sellers of that product. A diamond engagement ring will symbolize a lifetime commitment and is a permanent display to friends, family and colleagues. The diamond, ring design, quality and the craftsmanship must meet or exceed all expectations. All data referenced in these reviews are as of the date of the review, we are not responsible for updating information as prices change constantly. Also, we are not compensated to write these reviews as they are independent of any given retailer or brand.

Summary of Findings

With Clarity was founded by third generation diamontaire Anubh Shah and wife Slisha in 2013. Originally named Four Mine, it was rebranded in 2019 as With Clarity. Anubh’s father, Arun, is a well-respected diamond dealer in New York City and his grandfather was also a gem dealer in Jaipur, India. Our Co-founder remembers doing business with Arun’s company, Indogems, as far back as the 1980s.

With a degree from Babson College – ranked #1 in entrepreneurship – and with his father’s backing Anubh set out to build a direct to consumer jewelry brand. In 2022 the company was acquired by Rennaissance Global, an Indian jewelry manufacturer with six direct to consumer brands and annual revenues in excess of $250 million. Renaissance, known in the jewelry trade as Verigold, are trusted veterans of the industry and masters at their craft. Their CEO, Summit Shah, is both familiar to and respected by our Editor who has known him for decades. Renaissance Global’s best known website is a Disney licensed entity and they are key suppliers for the nation’s major diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring retailers like Kays, Zales and Jareds.

The combination of Anubh’s entrepreneurial spirit, his family’s diamond acumen and the jewelry design and manufacturing power of Renaissance Global have created an online diamond and diamond engagement ring jeweler that should be on every shoppers list

With Clarity Company Overview

With Clarity Review 2025: Leading Online Jeweler for Mined and Lab Grown Diamonds, Diamond Engagement Rings, Wedding Bands and Jewelry

This in-depth review of With Clarity examines its history and strengths in both diamonds and jewelry. We will evaluate the design and crafting of diamond engagement rings and diamond jewelry of the very highest quality of manufacturing. We will discuss the important distinction of having all their jewels internally designed and manufactured in their own factory and not outsourced like most others. And not just any factory, but among the world’s largest and best operated jewelery factories by two families whose combined time in the industry is measured in centuries. We will explain why With Clarity is a top choice for diamonds, jewelry and diamond engagement rings.

Introduction to the With Clarity Brand

When With Clarity was launched in 2013 it was the first significant new entrant into online diamond jewelry retailing in a decade. Originally named Four Mine, it was a bold and in fact daring move. In a 2019 press release, founder Anubh Shah explained the genesis of the brand:

"The process for purchasing engagement rings is as old as the ring purveyors themselves. My wife, Slisha, and I started this company because we knew that engagement ring shopping needed a revamp; consumers deserve a process they can better relate to. After all, why should Millennials and Gen Zers be forced to shop for a ring using a process created by their great-grandparents?"

According to CBinsights, the company raised nearly $8m in a series A that included early stage investors like Remarkable Ventures and ffVC among others. By 2019 the company reported annual sales had soared to over $20m. In February of 2022 Renaissance Global stepped in and took control.

With Clarity Brand Heritage, Background and Evolution

The strong diamond foundation of With Clarity is evident from the first moment you engage with the website. Where every online diamond jeweler will feature images of the different shapes and cuts of available diamonds, With Clarity explains the features and benefits of each cut as you hover over it:

Amongst all online jewelry founders, Anubh is probably the only one to have actually been schooled in how to cut and polish a diamond. As the son and grandson of diamantaires, whatever his formal schooling, he would be obligated to go through at least six months of training cutting and polishing diamonds as a prerequisite for joining the family business. In his case this meant returning to his father’s country of birth, India, and residing in a city called Coimbatore and spending months cutting and polishing diamonds and learning all about the global diamond trade..

The 2022 sale to Renaissance Global catapulted With Clarity into a full diamond engagement ring and diamond jewelry design retailer. We counted more than 3000 styles on the website, from this basic 1ct lab grown diamond 14kt gold solitaire diamond engagement ring for less than $900:

to this 50 carat lab grown diamond bracelet for more than $50,000!

The breadth and depth of the jewelry designs that Renaissance Global can bring to With Clarity has proven to be limitless. After all, there are 22 ‘princesses’ featured in their Disney business and in total more than 1100 unique designs to satisfy each Princess (Arielle seems to have the most at 81). With Clarity is not a licensed brand where every design has to be approved by the licensor. The full design and jewelry manufacturing power of Renaissance Global’s multi million dollar business stands behind their wholly owned brand, With Clarity.

With Clarity offers lab grown and mined diamond engagement rings and diamond jewelry designs to everyday consumers with the same design finesse and world class jeweler craftsmanship you would find for many times the price in a luxury diamond jewelry store. Anubh’s unique diamond and jewelry sourcing capability allows With Clarity to offer selection and prices that distinguish them amongst their competitors. And With Clarity may be the only diamond jewelry brand owned by a jeweler with factories producing more than $250m a year of stunning, gorgeous and beautifully crafted diamond engagement rings and diamond jewelry.

The three largest online diamond jewelers are large publicly traded companies that do not own a single jewelry factory and have CEO’s who have no idea how to sit in a diamond factory and cut and polish a diamond. Two of them are part of Signet, the $7bn specialty retailing conglomerate run (at the time of this review) by the former CEO of PetSmart. The third is run by two Stanford Business School graduates who previously worked in private equity and consulting. With Clarity is a prime source for jewelry and diamonds in a way the ‘big three’ can never be because With Clarity was founded and is led by a diamond expert and is owned by one of the largest jewelry factories in the world.

With Clarity Product Range and Quality

With Clarity Diamonds

Like most reputable jewelers, they comply with the Kimberley Process, the global protocol created by the diamond trade to stop the mining and the sale of conflict diamonds. And through Renaissance Global they are also Certified members of the Responsible Jewelry Council. The RJC is the standard-setting organization established in 2005 to advance responsible, ethical human rights and social and environmental practices in the diamond jewelry supply chain. As a Certified member Renaissance/ With Clarity is committed to proving through independent, third-party verification that they remain fully compliant with ethical business supply chain rules and the policies of the RJC. The Renaissance Global full policy on ethical practices is available here. With Clarity goes even further, boldly stating in their diamond ethics guidelines that they will not handle any diamonds mined in the African nation of Zimbabwe. Perhaps owing to Anubh’s training, within those guidelines they assert that,

“With Clarity employs trained experts who can identify Zimbabwean diamonds that are in circulation”

Conflict-free diamonds is a loose and very porous definition that omits many kinds of oppression. Our Co-Founder spent years in the mined diamond business but left in part as he learned more about the legacy of mined diamonds and the many loopholes within the Kimberly Process. His early involvement in lab grown diamonds was largely driven as an effort at personal redemption. He believes that in our efforts to perpetually improve the enforcement of conflict free diamond mining and trading we must be ever vigilant and relentless. The highly imperfect Kimberly Process was established in 2003 and the self-governing Responsible Jewelry Council was founded in 2005. As an industry, almost nothing more has been done in the ensuing decades. We applaud the efforts of With Clarity to go beyond the minimum requirements and standard platitudes of conflict free.

It is essential that a consumer come to understand the difference between price and value when buying a diamond. All four C’s (color, clarity, cut and carat size – see our section on certification below) impact the price of a diamond and must be considered before determining value. Quality of cutting and polishing are also critical. Integrity and trustworthiness of the jeweler, however, are of paramount concern when spending hundreds or thousands of dollars buying a diamond. A buyer can be confident that any diamond purchased on With Clarity is conflict free. For diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring buyers who seek the highest possible assurance that their diamond is indeed conflict free, With Clarity also offers a splendid assortment of lab grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds will also better satisfy diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring shoppers who want the lower cost and the bigger and better options that distinguish lab grown diamonds from mined diamonds. Like the mined diamonds offered for sale on With Clarity, all of the lab grown diamonds are carefully curated for their gemological laboratory certification and the best of all four C’s.

With Clarity Natural Diamonds

We appreciate that With Clarity offers a comprehensive selection of diamonds. Though curated, With Clarity does not dictate a minimum color or quality in its offering as some other jewelers do. A mined diamond buyer shopping on With Clarity can find an L color I1 clarity .30ct GIA certified diamond for $154 or a D color, Flawless clarity 5.15ct GIA certified diamond for $509,850 with every possible price in between. With Clarity empowers its customers to make their own decisions and not be steered by convention or railroaded by a jeweler only offering them more expensive items – where the jeweler can make the most money.

It is the opinion of our experts that most customers will want a mined diamond of a color or clarity no lower than J SI2. With Clarity understands this also and that is why the vast majority, 85%, of the natural diamonds offered for sale are J Si2 or better. Of these nearly 74% are Excellent or Ideal cut. Finally every single mined diamond, 100%, of the natural diamonds offered for sale by With Clarity are certified by the GIA. This is of great help to consumers because they can comfortably look at almost any diamond on their site and trust that With Clarity has curated their offering to the very top colors, qualities, cut and certification.

The GIA is not only the oldest and most respected gemological laboratory in the world, but they are also a nonprofit organization and a school. It is quite telling that their URL is not GIA.com, but rather GIA.edu. The GIA invented the 4c’s system of diamond grading and their website is among the very best resources by which a consumer can educate themselves on mined diamonds.

Diamond certification by smaller and for profit gemological laboratories like the IGI or HRD is less expensive than the GIA, but does not carry the same authority. By offering consumers GIA certified natural diamonds, With Clarity demonstrates their expertise and multi-generational understanding of the world of diamonds. A diamond jewelry or diamond engagement ring customer can feel confident they are buying from diamond experts who protect their customers.

While some online jewelers clutter their site with many diamonds of lower quality, we believe shoppers will appreciate how With Clarity makes them available but mostly curates a selection of only the very best diamonds. We also like that all the mined diamonds on With Clarity are GIA certified. The diamond experts at With Clarity know their craft and are rigorous in ensuring that only the best conflict free diamonds are allowed for sale on their website or in their showroom.

Drawing on over four decades of experience, our Co-Founder deeply admires the knowledge and expertise of With Clarity that can only come from a multi-generational leadership steeped in the nuance of diamond sourcing, cutting and curation. . With Clarity is an authentic diamond and diamond engagement ring company. The spirit that inspired Anubh to innovate and update the retailing of diamonds and diamond engagement rings have given consumers a great place to shop.

A With Clarity diamond engagement ring is not merely a declaration of love but a statement on shared ethics and values. It is also magical to behold a With Clarity diamond that scintillates with sheer brilliance shimmering light..

Summary of With Clarity Natural Diamonds

  • Conflict Free Diamonds that exceed most standards

  • Curated selection for best color, quality, cut and certification

  • 100% are GIA-certified

  • 85% are J Si2 or better

  • 74% of these are Excellent cut or better

  • Diamond experts evaluate all diamonds

With Clarity Lab Grown Diamonds

With Clarity has a major presence in the world of lab grown diamonds. Though far smaller than the $7bn jewelry conglomerate that owns the two oldest if not the largest online jewelry brands, With Clarity (at the time of this review, collected during the first half of 2025) has more lab grown diamonds for sale than both brands combined:

With Clarity

167,759

James Allen

Blue Nile

Because of the much lower price of lab grown diamonds, With Clarity saves diamond and diamond engagement ring shoppers money by using certificates from the International Gemological Institute, IGI, for most of their lab grown diamonds. We agree with this decision because the cost for certification from the IGI is markedly less than the GIA. A GIA certificate could increase a diamond shopper’s cost of a lab grown diamond by a double digit percentage.

With Clarity does an amazing job of curating their lab grown diamond selection for their customers. The lowest quality they offer is a VS2 and the lowest color is H. Of all the lab grown diamonds observed on With Clarity, 151,393 are “colorless”, meaning the top three colors D, E and F. Additionally, the vast majority of “colorless” lab grown diamonds offered for sale on With Clarity are also excellent or ideal cut, the very best cut.

Our Editor and team were early pioneers in the validation and acceptance of lab grown diamonds in 2017. Over the last eight years, the technology for growing gem quality diamonds has improved, expanded and consolidated in the low cost centers of India. This has resulted in the price of lab grown diamonds coming down enormously. Because the cost of lab grown diamonds have corrected so much, the founder strongly advises consumers to only consider buying the topmost qualities, with 1 carat, F VS2, ideal cut as the minimum carat, color and clarity (more on this later). With Clarity simplifies the shopping for a lab grown diamond by curating and limiting their assortment to what is best for consumers. Lab grown diamond shoppers will appreciate that With Clarity has limited the lab grown diamonds available on their site to what is best for consumers.

We also appreciate that With Clarity does not needlessly clutter their site with smaller sizes of lab grown diamonds, which would only serve to confuse diamond shoppers.

With Clarity does an amazing job in pre-selecting the best of the 4C’s for diamond jewelry and diamond engagement shoppers. By curating the vast majority of their lab grown diamonds to only the best colors, cuts, clarities and carat weights they simplify the shopping experience, making it easy for diamond customers to find the gem of their dreams.

Our experts took the comparative analysis one step further. Leading independent diamond analyst Edahn Golan, writing in the January 9th 2025 TENORIS industry insights report, revealed that in 2024 the average price for a lab grown diamond was $2,443 and the average diamond size was 2.03.

So our experts analyzed which of the online jewelers in our survey had the most lab grown diamonds in that range. With Clarity dominated its much larger competitors in 2ct and larger diamonds for less than $2,500.

This difference carries even more weight when considering that the lowest color and quality With Clarity offers is H VS2 whereas the others in our analysis go lower in both color and quality. For the customer who wants a better quality diamond over 2.00cts and has a maximum budget of $2,500 With Clarity has more selection than its three largest competitors combined. The others have barely a handful at that price, but plenty available for more money.

With Clarity has the right selection of lab grown diamonds for the discerning diamond engagement ring shopper who wants the most bang for their buck. Whatever diamond a consumer may dream of, With Clarity is the jeweler most likely to make that dream come true.

With Clarity Diamond Pricing and Value

With Clarity Value

As the only diamond, diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring online retailer founded by a leader who has actually cut and polished diamonds, it comes as no surprise that With Clarity is able to offer pricing and value that eclipse all others in our survey. The With Clarity founder did not get a graduate degree in technology or an MBA from Stanford or Wharton business school. Anubh went to ‘diamond school’, just as his father and grandfather before him. No degree earned in a classroom in California can compete with that.

As a digital first, online diamond jewelry company, the prices of With Clarity’s diamonds are a fraction of what a shopper would pay in a traditional store. And consumers can, if they want, see the diamond or diamonds of their choosing in their New York City store. Some consumers still may prefer to examine what will become a family heirloom in a store where they can talk to an expert or bring a trusted friend or relative. Increasingly couples are shopping together for diamonds and diamond engagement rings and many like to sit quietly in a professional environment and compare, ask questions and share the whole experience. With Clarity offers this and the prices are the same in store as they are online.

With Clarity Lab Grown Diamond Price Comparison

In a side by side comparison with several other major online diamond retailers, With Clarity offered the best lab grown diamond pricing in the most desirable categories. In fact, With Clarity has better prices than the top four online retailers in our survey. Below are the results for F VS2 excellent cut 1,2,3,4 and 5 ct lab grown diamonds.

For the diamond shopper who only wants the best–the best diamonds AND the best prices With Clarity is one of the very best.

With Clarity Diamond Buying Experience

With Clarity Website Usability and User Experience

Exploring a website with more than 200,000 individually certified diamonds and locating the ones a shopper wants to delve into requires pages that load fast and high-speed technology that works on your phone as well as it does on your Mac, PC or iPad. Shortly after Renaissance Global acquired With Clarity they re-platformed the website to the latest and greatest Shopify platform. With Clarity is fully mobile responsive and the experience is equally good on your iPhone or android as it is on desktop. Using the newest technology allows for simplicity in searching, comparing and shopping. Whether in a store or online, a diamond jewelry or diamond engagement ring shopper will want to closely examine and compare many different diamonds. With Clarity features a 360 degree unique video for every diamond they offer for sale. Our Co-Founder feels strongly that consumers are best served beginning their search for the perfect diamond online because they can view and compare many diamonds. This system is vastly superior to what is available in traditional jewelry stores.

In a traditional store consumers would be lucky to have more than a few diamonds to compare and not the diamonds they select but the diamonds the store wants them to buy. In some stores a shopper might be given a 10x magnifying glass or loupe with which to view the diamond. Examining a diamond through a 10x loupe is a specialized skill. It can take weeks of training to begin to understand how to even hold and position the small, handheld magnifying glass. Moreover, understanding how and what to look for takes training and time and evolves over a lifetime. It isn’t right when a store salesperson puts a loupe in the customer’s left hand and a specialized, nearly 7 inch tweezer in the other hand and tells the customer to look at the diamond.

If a shopper should somehow manage a brief glimpse of a diamond this way–which is doubtful– they are only able to view one diamond at a time. This prevents customers from comparing diamonds side by side. On rare occasions a store might have a stereo microscope like this:

Under special LED white lighting meant to enhance the apparent color and sparkle, a buyer is shown one diamond at a time, and seldom at full magnification. Moreover, the prospective buyer is only able to view the top of the diamond and not the sides and bottom.

The With Clarity diamond video-imaging system magnifies every diamond 10x-30x, allowing a buyer to view every possible angle of the diamond: Top, bottom and side profile. That means a diamond shopper can see much more of a diamond than possible with the 10x top only magnification one might use in a traditional jewelry store. On the With Clarity website a buyer can carefully inspect every detail of a diamond–every facet, on the top and the bottom. Of equal importance, this will also reduce the risk of misrepresentation, a common concern in online purchases. We like that on With Clarity's site, a diamond shopper can display any one of more than 200,000 actual diamonds because this puts the consumer in control of how they shop. In fact, With Clarity’s website makes comparisons easy, and they even recommend similar diamonds you might have missed.

We were searching for a while on our 15 inch MacBook and checked out many different diamonds. We liked this 2.50ct E VS1 ideal cut diamond.

That was when we scrolled down and discovered another great feature of the With Clarity website, their upgrade recommender tool.

Many diamond and diamond ring shoppers have had bad experiences in stores with pushy sales people who care only about their commissions. What we liked most was how the With Clarity recommender showed us this D color diamond for only $38 more.

Studying a diamond magnified multiple times on your screen for hours, days or even weeks is a better way than looking at a diamond for a few minutes under a microscope in a store with a salesman hovering. It is certainly a less pressured experience. On a phone, iPad or desktop a diamond shopper can magnify any natural or lab grown diamond 30x and see it 360 degrees. The GIA, the most trusted geological laboratory in the world, certifies diamonds based upon 10x magnification. So having a technology that allows a diamond or diamond engagement ring buyer to examine any one of the hundreds of thousands of online diamonds by a magnification of 30x is clearly an advantage for the consumer. The founder and the owners of With Clarity are experts but more importantly, they respect a customer.

With Clarity Customer Service and Support

With Clarity Diamond Expert Services

Most first time buyers do not understand how to evaluate a diamond. With Clarity has customer service experts available to help answer customer’s questions. They are trained to serve customers and answer questions, not commissioned salespeople. This is a major difference from most jewelry stores, which have salesmen who are often paid a low salary and must make sales to earn a decent wage..

With Clarity offers many pathways by which a diamond or diamond engagement ring shopper can interact with them. Whether by making a virtual appointment:

as well as an in-store appointment, a phone call, text or sending an email, With Clarity’s trained personnel will make a personal connection with each shopper and give them the information and attention they need. Rather than hard selling a customer they seek to understand each customer's needs. On a recent chat, our testing experts were able to work with a highly trained gemologist.

Having so many different ways to interact with a trained gemologist puts the diamond consumer in complete control of the shopping experience. A shopper might start online to get educated, use one of the many pathways to speak with a consultant when they are ready and finish with a personally selected diamond purchased online or in person at their NYC store. And of course, in all cases they are protected by a 30 day no questions asked return policy. Having an expert explain the pro’s and con’s of each diamond is always great. For those who prefer to independently research and decide, having the diamond recommender on the site makes selecting easy and stress free. And when the With Clarity consultants or the website suggest ways to save a diamond shopper money, they earn our trust.

Trained graduate gemologists like Claudia are an important feature offered by With Clarity to diamond jewelry and diamond engagement ring shoppers. Any diamond customer can take all the time he or she needs to get a free diamond education. In addition to cut, color, clarity and carat weight the experts can explain every detail of diamond cutting like table and depth percentage. Though few if any one can detect these differences after a diamond is set in an engagement ring, there are buyers who like to delve into this level of technical detail and the trained experts at With Clarity are able to help. And with more than 200,000 different diamonds from which to choose,, they can offer a customer options of every kind and at every price point. No traditional jewelry store retailer can match this. With Clarity is a great place for a shopper to teach themselves and get educated by experts so they can find the perfect diamond or diamond engagement to fit their budget and satisfy their dreams.

With Clarity Diamond Certificates and the 4 C's

The diamond will be the most expensive part of any diamond engagement ring purchase so it is important to take the time to research and learn about the 4C’s. Our Editor explains in detail how to understand the GIA 3ct Oval certificate below:

Date

The date the diamond was examined and certified by the gemologists at GIA. This is important for consumers because if a diamond is old inventory, there is probably something undesirable or substandard about it.

Report Number

This is the individual GIA certificate number unique to this diamond. It has also been microscopically laser inscribed on the side of the diamond. It does not impact the refraction or shine and will not be visible without at least 10x magnification. This is important because it can protect buyers from diamond fraud or substitution, which, though rare, is a risk when repairing a ring at an unethical jeweler. The number is also logged on the global database of GIA certificates, providing a permanent record of your diamond. This can prove very important should a consumer need to make an insurance claim and cannot locate the printed certificate received when the purchase was made.

Shape

The outline of the diamond when viewed from the top down, while the cut is defined by the pattern of the facet arrangement. Most buyers prefer a round also known as a brilliant cut diamond. Other shapes are collectively referred to as fancies. The most popular of these today are oval, pear and emerald. Historically marquise and princess cuts were also popular,

Measurements

The diamond’s dimensions are in millimeters. For a round diamond it is the minimum and maximum diameter and the depth. Non round diamonds will use the length, width and depth. This is important information a buyer should learn and understand as these impact the brightness, fire or light of the diamond.

Carat Weight

The weight as measured in carats to the nearest 1/100th of a carat. A carat is equal to 0.2grams.

Color

Describes the degree to which a yellow hue is present. Color is graded on a scale from D-Z though most gem quality diamonds are within the D-J colors. D is the whitest and by K even an untrained eye can detect the yellow hue. This will be an important consideration for buyers as prices of a D color will be higher than a J, particularly for a natural diamond. The tradeoff a consumer will often have to make is between color and carat weight.

Clarity

Describes the degree to which natural inclusions or blemishes are visible under 10x magnification.

Cut

Determines the light reflecting properties, also known as the fire, scintillation or brilliance of the diamond’s appearance. In the opinion of our founder, cut is the most important of the 4C’s because even the finest diamond if poorly cut will not refract light optimally and thus will emit inferior fire and brilliance.

Polish

Polish describes the smoothness of a diamond's facets. A high-quality polish will leave little to no scratches and slightly optimizes for maximum brilliance.

Symmetry

Symmetry describes the degree to which a diamond's facets are mathematically aligned to emit maximum light. A symmetrical diamond emits high levels of fire and brilliance.

Fluorescence

Fluorescence causes diamonds to emit a soft, bluish glow when exposed to UV light. The Fluorescence grade describes the color, and strength of color when a diamond is graded under UV light. The founder prefers diamonds with no fluorescence.

Conclusion on With Clarity Diamonds

With Clarity is a price leader among all jewelers for better quality lab grown diamonds. They distinguish themselves from all other online jewelers because their founder is a third generation diamantaire who actually knows how to cut a diamond. Their prices were the best across all sizes in the most relevant colors and qualities we surveyed. We will learn below why their selection of engagement ring designs may be even more compelling than their amazing lab grown diamond prices.

With Clarity has successfully disrupted the diamond retailing business model which lingers on from the 20th century. Anubh’s father and Renaissance Global only supplied retailers in the old model. They have cut out that middleman and brought their generations of experience directly to the retail diamond engagement ring consumer. And it shows in the prices right away. This is a remarkable and in fact a revolutionary shift in how diamond producers and jewelry manufacturers distribute their diamond jewelry. With Clarity delivers a conflict free diamond experience that puts diamond engagement ring shoppers in control of their shopping journey.

With Clarity Engagement Rings

With Clarity has an absolutely amazing selection of diamond engagement ring settings and designs from which to choose. This is where the relationship with Renaissance Global really begins to set them apart from most other engagement ring stores. We counted an extraordinary 1,377 unique women’s rings in the wedding and engagement category. And nearly every one of them was available in seven different types of metal! We will do the math: that’s 9,693 possible rings! And each of these rings can take many different center diamond shapes and sizes which we will not even begin to calculate.

This might sound intimidating, but With Clarity has designed the filters on their website to make shopping easy. They have organized their diamond engagement rings into twelve design categories.

The fine master craftsmanship of all With Clarity diamond engagement rings are exactly what we’d expect from a company that is owned by a major jewelry factory. But this is not just any factory. This is a design and manufacturing behemoth. The state-of-the-art jewelry manufacturing facilities of Renaissance Global encompasses 166,000 square feet and employs over 2,900 skilled workers. 150 of them are design artists, empowered by the latest technology. They can produce more than 1000 new and unique designs a month and the company has over a million unique designs in its catalog.

Their global scale of operations, allows With Clarity to adapt swiftly to the changing market trends. And the range of diamond engagement rings available is daunting.

This 10.5 ct design (that’s without the center diamond) is a stunning piece of shimmering elegance:

Each of the princess cut diamonds on the ring must be specially selected and set by a master craftsman able to make them align perfectly so they exactly match each other. All the prongs have to match and all the diamond colors have to be exactly the same or it will look like a chess board. You won’t see rings like this in too many places because you need to have highly skilled master jewelers to make it. The design, quality and jewelry manufacturing capability of With Clarity distinguishes them from most every jeweler online or in stores.

Most consumers, however, will want a more classic traditional and less expensive design. With Clarity stands out for the value they can deliver for the entry level diamond engagement ring shopper. We found their platinum basic four prong solitaire to be, at $400, the very best priced anywhere.

We selected a D color VS2 excellent cut lab grown diamond for the center at a cost of $384.

What we got was an amazing value on a stunning, 1ct platinum diamond engagement ring solitaire in the very best color possible for only $784 before tax.

With Clarity may have delivered the very best priced entry level diamond engagement ring setting in the world. Any bride not marrying a billionaire would be thrilled!

For most diamond engagement ring shoppers who are somewhere in the middle of these two options, With Clarity offers an amazing Try Before You Buy option. With Clarity will allow any diamond engagement ring shopper to select any two styles from their thousands of possible ring designs and they will send a replica in non-precious metals and diamond simulants. This not only allows the shopper to compare the rings on her hands in her own home, but she can share the experience with her intended or her friends and family. They do charge $200 for this service, but that can be applied toward any future purchase if you return them. Having experienced both rings, the customer can make an informed choice about the diamond engagement ring they want. We appreciate that With Clarity offers this service as yet another way to modernize the diamond engagement ring buying experience.

We highly recommend With Clarity as a fantastic place to shop for and buy a diamond engagement ring or wedding band. Their diamonds are among the very best priced in our survey and their assortment of diamond engagement ring styles and designs is extraordinary. From the classic solitaire to the most unique diamond intensive engagement rings, they can help diamond engagement ring shoppers make their dreams into reality at unbelievable prices.

With Clarity Aftercare

Shipping

With Clarity offers free FedEx shipping both ways on all orders. A buyer has 30 days to return their purchase and With Clarity will pay the return shipping.

Returns

With Clarity stands behind their product with a 30 day return policy offering a 100% refund, on most products.. Because you are buying your diamond ring or jewelry sight unseen, this is really important for buyers. This takes the risk out of an online purchase versus being in a store. More importantly a customer can wear, examine and show others her diamond engagement ring, wedding band or jewelry in their own home and under their natural light. Jewelry stores spend a fortune on the best, whitest ceiling lights. And most in-cabinet lighting is just 18 inches from the jewelry. This kind of light is entirely different from most people’s homes or normal outdoor daylight. Jewelry store lights are engineered to make all their diamonds explode with light. Better to select your diamond, diamond engagement ring or diamond jewelry in the lighting of your own home.

Warranty

With Clarity offers an exceptionally generous lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects. Included is complimentary lifetime cleaning. They also provide complimentary replacement of stones under 0.10ct each, which are broken or lost during everyday wear and tear.

Ring Resizing

With Clarity offers one free ring resizing within the first 30 days of purchase, but they do not pay for shipping.

Engraving

With Clarity offers complimentary engraving on engagement rings or wedding bands

Customer Service

Having a GIA trained graduate gemologist and not a robot on the other end of a phone call or a chat to discuss a diamond, jewelry style or the status of a purchase, repair or return distinguishes With Clarity from many other jewelers.
