Diamond price per carat

 When it comes to diamonds, carat weight is the most important factor in determining a stone’s value. But what exactly does a carat weight mean?

A carat is a unit of weight that is used to measure diamonds and other gemstones. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams.

The carat weight of a diamond can affect its price dramatically. Diamonds of the same clarity, color, and cut can vary in price by hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on their size.

Larger diamonds are rarer and therefore more valuable than smaller diamonds. This is why a one-carat diamond is often more expensive than a two-carat diamond, even if both diamonds are of the same quality.

Here is a chart that shows the average price per carat for different diamond sizes:
