Diamond
Buying 101 :: Carat Weight
Once you've
determined what cut, color, and clarity grade
you're looking for in a diamond, it's easy to
determine the carat weight of diamond that will
fit within your budget.
When diamonds
are mined, large gems are discovered much less
frequently than small ones, which makes large
diamonds much more valuable. In fact, diamond
prices rise exponentially with carat weight. So,
a 2-carat diamond of a given quality is always
worth more than two 1-carat diamonds of the same
quality.
What
Size is Best?
To choose the
best carat weight of diamond, consider her style,
the size of her finger, the size of your setting,
and your budget.
If you have
a set budget, explore all your options and you'll
find that there is a wide range of diamond carat
weights and qualities available in your price
range.
If your recipient
is very active or not used to wearing jewelry,
she may find herself bumping or nicking her new
ring. Consider a smaller size diamond or a setting
that protects a larger diamond from getting knocked
against doors and counters.
Also keep
in mind that the smaller the finger, the larger
the diamond will appear. A 1½-carat diamond
solitaire looks much larger on a size 4 finger
than a size 8.
Finally, if
a large carat weight is important to you, yet
you're working within a budget, consider a diamond
with a good cut, SI1–SI2 clarity, and an
I or J color grade.
