Carat

Carat

Carat refers to the weight of a diamond, not the size, because carat weight can be deceptive. Diamonds of the same weight may vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other, or is of a different shape, and carat weight does not determine a diamond’s value, as two stones of the same weight can vary widely in price when clarity, colour and cut are taken into consideration.
