Diamond Carat

What is a Carat?
Carat is the weight of the diamond and the measurement that indicates its size. One carat equals 0.2 grams, or about the same weight as a paper clip.
Is any bigger diamond better?
Although cut is an important factor in determining a diamond's value (the higher the carat weight, the rarer and more valuable the diamond becomes), size, color, and clarity are equally essential.
It is important to have a thorough understanding of all aspects that contribute to the overall value of a diamond.
