DIAMOND WEIGHT

Carat Size

Diamonds are sold by carat, (ct.) not to be confused with karat, (kt.), which in the United States refers to gold quality. Diamonds are weighed on an extremely accurate digital balance. One carat equals 100 points, which weigh 1/5 gram. When diamonds are mined, large gems are discovered much less frequently than small ones, which makes large diamonds much more valuable. In fact, diamond prices rise exponentially with carat weight. So, a 2-carat diamond of a given quality is always worth more than two 1-carat diamonds of the same quality.

PDE Says: To choose the best carat weight of diamond, consider her style, the size of her finger, the size and type of your setting, and your budget. Here are some things to consider: If you have a set budget, explore all your options and you'll find that there is a wide range of diamond carat weights and qualities available in your price range.

If you plan to wear the diamond everyday maybe you want something smaller then if you are getting a piece of jewelry just to wear at formal affairs.

If you are getting an all around diamond eternity band keep in mind that she will feel the ring on both her middle finger and pinkie. So sometimes the biggest size isn’t the most comfortable size.
