CARAT

Once you have decide on color, cut and clarity, you know have to decide on the size of
the ring. The question you will have to ask yourself is what your budget is. It will be
simple to figure out the carat once you get a price line.

What is minimum individual carat weight?
Minimum individual carat weight is the minimum carat weight of one diamond in a
piece of jewelry. If a pair of diamond stud earrings has a total diamond weight of 1/2
carat, the individual carat weight of each diamond would be 1/4 carat. The actual
diamonds you purchase may weigh slightly more or less than the fractional weight
specified. The Federal Trade Commission has strict guidelines about the disclosure of
the range of carat weight that a fraction can represent. The chart below outlines
acceptable ranges for carat weights expressed as fractions. Some diamonds may be cut
into sizes between these more common fractions. Because it is more unusual for
diamonds to be cut into these in-between sizes, ranges are not defined for these sizes.
These sizes would have their specific carat weight (e.g., 0.62 carats) listed under
minimum individual carat weight.
•        1/4 carat total weight may be 0.21 to 0.29 carats
•        1/3 carat total weight may be 0.30 to 0.36 carats
•        1/2 carat total weight may be 0.45 to 0.59 carats
•        3/4 carat total weight may be 0.70 to 0.84 carats
•        1 carat total weight may be 0.95 to 1.10 carats
•        1 1/4 carats total weight may be 1.20 to 1.29 carats
•        1 1/2 carats total weight may be 1.45 to 1.55 carats
•        2 carats total weight may be 1.95 to 2.05 carats
