Diamond Carat 101 – What You Need To Know About The Clarity of a Diamond
Executive Summary about Diamond Carat by Kevin Chang
diamond carats
The Carat refers to the mass of the diamond. One carat is about 200 milligrams. Diamonds with less than one carat is commonly referred to as equal to one one-hundredth of a carat (0.01 carat, or 2 mg). Generally, the price per carat of a diamond increases directly proportional to carat weight.
Similarly, a diamond weighing under the next full carat is a lot less inexpensive compared to a diamond that passes the full carat scale. It is important to remember that carat is about diamond mass so it is highly possible that a diamond with smaller size may weight as much as a diamond with larger size.
The price of a diamond is also common expressed as cost per carat. One of the best ways to compare diamonds is by comparing cost per carat. When shopping for diamonds, a diamond weight estimator can be a great help.
Another thing to remember when buying a diamond based on carat size is making a balance between quality and size.

Executive Summary abut Diamond Carat by James Grayson
A cut that gives a diamond a large table (the uppermost flat surface of a diamond) will make a small diamond look bigger. Oppositely, a diamond that is cut wide at the girdle (a diamonds widest point) will make a large stone look smaller. A small diamond will look even smaller worn on large fingers. In the next carat range (.90 – .99 carats) the price will go up an additional $800 per carat. In the 1.00 -1.49 carat range, the price per carat rises by about $800 per carat.
