"Carat Weight" is simply the weight of the diamond. The Carat weight of a diamond determines the size, and appearance of your ring or jewellery.
Size is the most visible factor that determines the value of a diamond. The price of a diamond rises exponentially according to its size.
By definition, 1 carat is 200 milligrams. Since most diamonds sold in the market weigh less than 1 carat, the carat is usually subdivided into "points." There are 100 points in 1 carat, so that a diamond weighing 3/4 carat would be a "75 point diamond."
1 carat = 200 milligrams = 100 points
Please note that Carat weight is not a factor which denotes diamond quality. It merely denotes the size of a diamond, by its weight.
Diamonds of 0.5 - 0.75 carat are very popular for their combination of size and value.
Large diamonds are rarer to find in mines than small ones, which makes large diamonds much more valuable.
