The Math Behind Diamond Carat Weight:
The carat weight of a diamond is a measure of its mass, with one carat equal to 200 milligrams. While the carat weight gives an idea of the diamond's size, the actual visual appearance can vary depending on the cut and proportions of the diamond. For example, a round diamond may appear larger or smaller than another diamond of the same carat weight if its cut proportions differ.
The approximate carat weights provided in our charts are derived from average measurements, making it easier for you to estimate the size of diamonds you're considering. Keep in mind that the depth, table size, and overall shape can all influence the final appearance and weight of a diamond. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to choose the perfect piece that celebrates you.
Let 31 Jewels Inc. guide you through the nuances of diamond selection, ensuring that every choice reflects your unique style and sophistication.
