Understanding Carat Weight

Carat refers to a diamond's weight, not its physical size. However, cut and shape play a huge role in how large the diamond actually appears.

Price Per Carat

Diamond prices do not increase linearly. A 2.00 ct diamond does not cost twice as much as a 1.00 ct diamond; it can cost 3x or 4x more because large diamonds are exponentially rarer.

"Magic Sizes" & Savings

Diamond cutters try to keep stones above "magic weights" like 1.00ct or 2.00ct because the price jumps significantly at these marks.

Insider Tip: Buy Shy

A 0.95 carat diamond looks virtually identical to a 1.00 carat diamond but can save you 20-30% in price.
