What is a large diamond?

The weight and value of a diamond are estimated in carats. One carat equals 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. Most common diamonds are 1 carat or less. For example, a solitary ring is usually between 0,5 and 1 carat. Large diamonds are considered to be 3 carats and more. A 3-carat diamond is rare and valuable which makes it a good investment as well as an outstanding gift.

The price of a 3-carat diamond

The larger the diamond the rarer it is. As the carat size of a diamond increases the diamond price increases exponentially. Fewer than one in a million rough stones are large enough to produce a finished 1-carat diamond. So, as carat weight increases you will typically pay more not only in total but on a price-per-carat basis as well.
