The bigger the Diamond Carat the better? Well...Sometimes!!

Diamond Carat is the weight of the diamond measured in carats. One carat is divided into 100 "points," so that a diamond of 75 points weighs 0.75 carats.
To get a better understanding, in theory 1 Gram is equal to 5 carats.

Carat weight is the most obvious factor in determining the value of a diamond..... Two diamonds of equal weight can have very different prices, depending on their quality.
Diamonds of high quality can be found in all size ranges.

Generally, the bigger the diamond, the more expensive it is. Once a diamond breaks the 1 carat mark, the price difference is quite high as long as the color and clarity are good.

Likewise, if a diamond is cut too deep (or pointed) it will have a smaller diameter and deep depth and appear smaller....This is why cut is so important.

You want to make sure the diamond is cut to proper proportions. Not only does it make a large difference in the diamond's ability to reflect light, but a poorly cut diamond will not be proportionate in size to a diamond cut to proper specifications.

Sacrificing the cut to get a heavier diamond weight defeats the purpose as all you'll end up with is a large dead diamond....instead of a fiery stone!!
Size matters but not at the expense of cut , clarity and color.
