A diamond carat actually measures the diamond&#8217;s weight. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams, or 0.200 grams and is divided into 100 points (.25ct = 25 points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can figure, the larger the diamond, the more it will cost. That&#8217;s because larger diamonds are rare, especially if they meet a certain criteria for being considered high-quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beans-72059_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesty of: pixabay.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Where Did Carat Come From?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned in a <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/25\/gold-diamond-carat-vs-karat\/\">previous post<\/a>, the <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\"><g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">carrob<\/g><\/g> bean was used as the standard unit of measurement for small items during ancient times. Items would be measured as being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/word\/carat\">fraction of these beans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is different than the carats used to measure gold, of course. For more information on that, you can read up about it <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/25\/gold-diamond-carat-vs-karat\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dubai-Plans-To-Become-Global-Diamond-Trade-Hub.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dubai-Plans-To-Become-Global-Diamond-Trade-Hub.jpg 639w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dubai-Plans-To-Become-Global-Diamond-Trade-Hub-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Dubai-Plans-To-Become-Global-Diamond-Trade-Hub-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesy of: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">It&#8217;s Not Just About Carats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one thing, the heavier the diamond, the more it will cost. That said, even if two diamonds have the same weight, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean they&#8217;ll have the same value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> For example, you can have two .80 ct diamonds, but if factors such as depth or shallowness, complexion, and colour aren&#8217;t the same, then the pricing will be different for the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes time to the appraisal, diamond carat isn&#8217;t the only thing jewellers look at. <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">The Four<\/g> Cs all play an important part in determining the value of a diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Four C&#8217;s are carat, cut, clarity, and colour. All of these are important in the appraisal process. With that in mind, it&#8217;s important to not base your decision solely on carat &#8211; or any one of these four measurements for that matter. It&#8217;s about finding a happy balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/15658738986_d74cff043b_z.jpg\" alt=\"diamond shapes\" class=\"wp-image-953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/15658738986_d74cff043b_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/15658738986_d74cff043b_z-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesy of: Mark Johnson via Flickr.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Magic Sizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re sticking to a budget but want a certain size, consider going just below the &#8220;magic&#8221; sizes. .25, .50, .75, and .100 are all sizes that will cause pricing to increase drastically, so unless it&#8217;s a must-have, try opting in for a size in-between. The difference is virtually unnoticed by the naked eye.

Be sure that you do all your research before making certain major decisions. Also, be sure to pick the diamond before the ring. If you don&#8217;t, you could end up with a final product that wasn&#8217;t quite what you hoped for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget that depending on the setting, your diamond might be covered up by metals. Whether you went with gold, silver, or another kind of metal, the diamond won&#8217;t be standing alone. Keep that in mind while deciding the carat you want &#8211; it&#8217;ll help when figuring out what you want the other aspects of the diamond to be, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/box-close-up-display-265883-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/box-close-up-display-265883-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/box-close-up-display-265883-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/box-close-up-display-265883-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesy of: Pexels.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all that in mind, <g class=\"gr_ gr_3 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"3\" data-gr-id=\"3\">hopefully<\/g> the phrase &#8220;diamond carat&#8221; doesn&#8217;t sound as confusing as it was before.
