Diamond Carat Weight

Diamonds with the highest carat weight do not always appear largest. Although weight is important in determining the diamond’s size, the cut of a diamond makes all the difference. A well-cut diamond will seem larger than a poorly cut diamond because of the way it reflects light, even if both diamonds have the same carat weight. Furthermore, different diamond shapes and dimensions can impact cut quality and cause variations in brightness.
