Understanding Carat and What It Means for Your Diamond

When it comes to diamonds, size matters—but not in the way you might think. The carat of a diamond refers to its weight, not its size. Understanding carat weight can help you choose the perfect diamond for your ring.

What Is a Carat?

A carat is a unit of weight used to measure diamonds and other gemstones. One carat equals 0.2 grams. While carat weight can affect a diamond’s size, other factors like cut and shape also play a role in how large a diamond appears.

Why Carat Matters

A higher carat weight often means a larger diamond, but it also means a higher price tag. However, two diamonds of the same carat weight can look very different depending on their cut, shape, and setting. For example, a well-cut 4-carat diamond may appear larger than a poorly cut 4-carat stone.
