Diamond Buying: carat
When people talk about how big a diamond is, they're talking about carats. The carat is a measurement of weight. One carat equals 1/5 of a gram. The weight of a diamond can also be measured in points - 100 points equal one carat.
A word of caution - don't be over impressed by size. Remember, cut, color and clarity also determine the value of a diamond. In fact, a 1/2 carat diamond that is D color with a good cut and no flaws can be worth more than twice as much as a 1 carat diamond with a poorer color and cut, and more flaws.
