![]() ![]() The below diameters are just an indicative measure for different carat weights of a round diamond with 'Excellent' cut grading. This is because diamonds can be cut in various ways. A 0.18 carat round diamond can also have a 3.80 mm diameter and 0.22 carat round diamond also may have a 3.80 mm diameter. This gives a good idea of how big the diamond will be but please note that not all diamonds of, say, 0.20 carat will have 3.80mm diameter. The below chart gives the approx diameter measurements in mm/millimeter for different carat weights of a round diamond. So, a 2 carat diamond is much smaller than twice the size of a 1 carat diamond, as illustrated in the diamond carat-size charts below. So, 0.10 carat is also referred to as 10 cents.Īlso, a very important thing to note is that with an increase in carat weight, the actual size of the diamond does not increase by the same proportion. Carat is unrelated to the similar sounding 'Karat' which is a measure of gold purity.ġ carat = 0.200 gms (one carat equals 1/200 th of one gram)Īnother term used for diamond weight is ‘Cents’. So, a 2 carat diamond will be priced much more than twice the price of a 1 carat diamond. ![]() Also, diamond prices increase exponentially with the increase in weight. It is important to look at the ‘mm’ measurements of a diamond to understand the diamond size. So, it is not always necessary that, say, a 0.96 carat diamond is smaller than a 1.00 carat diamond. Diamonds are sold in carats and it is a unit of weight, though it is commonly mistaken as a measurement of diamond size. ![]() ‘Carat’ is the term used to refer to the weight of a diamond. ![]()
