To compare that a one carat diamond is 6 4mm.
Diamond per carat.
Understanding the 4 c s of a diamond color cut carat clarity and the factors that impact its quality price and value.
Larger diamonds are much rarer than smaller ones.
Cut grade and diameter over weight.
We would calculate the price of that carat by multiplying 2500 x 0 5.
The per carat price increases exponentially as you move up in carat weight.
That is 1 5th of an inch.
A half carat diamond is usually 5 1mm in diameter.
This is because it is more rare to find bigger sized diamonds.
Price of 2 carat diamonds the price of a 2 carat diamond ranges from 6 500 to 55 000 depending on the diamond s cut quality clarity color and shape.
For example a 25 carat round diamond starts at around 300 and a 5 carat round diamond starts at around 650.
How to calculate price per carat.
A 0 25 carat quarter of a carat diamond with the same color and clarity grades as above costs around 1 600 per carat making the price of the diamond approximately 425.
For instance if one carat costs 2500 a 0 5 carat diamond would cost 1250.
However we need to consider the other cs of a diamond color clarity and cut.
The per carat price increases as the weight and the quality increases.
In other words the increase for price per carat goes up dramatically for each magic number for example the difference in price between a 4 ct and a 3 ct diamond greatly exceeds the difference between a 3 ct and a 2 ct diamond.
