Carat

A carat is the universal measure of weight for a diamond. It's the easiest of the 4Cs to determine, but two diamonds of equal size can have very different values, because the quality is still determined by the color, clarity and cut.

Larger diamonds are found relatively infrequently in nature, which makes them more valuable than smaller sizes.

Did you know that fewer than one percent of women will ever own a diamond weighing one or more carats?
