Diamond Carat

The Carat Is Simply The Diamond's Weight

Print E-mail

The carat of a diamond is actually a measure of the weight of the loose diamond.

1 carat = 200 milligrams

A carat is divided into 100 points.

1 carat = 100 points

So, as an example, 1 carat and 21 points is written 1.21 carats and would equal 1.21 x 200 milligrams = 242 milligrams.

The larger the carat of the diamond, the more expensive that diamond is, with the other three Cs being equal.

More Carat = More Expensive
