The 4 Cs of Diamonds - Carat
The size of a diamond is measured in carats. One carat equals 0.2 grams. Diamond sizes are also measured in points, whereby a one carat diamond equals 100 points. When it comes to diamonds, it’s important to remember that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. For example, a poorly cut one carat diamond might pale in significance compared with a beautifully crafted smaller diamond. The overall quality of the diamond is always the result of a combination of the 4 Cs.
Many tons of ore must be mined and processed in order to produce a polished one carat diamond, and during the polishing process itself half of the rough diamond’s weight is turned into dust.
