Diamond Size Ranges

 

We take pride in offering great value and quality.  Diamonds at the wholesale level are sold in weight ranges. To assist you in understanding these ranges, we have provided the following size tolerances. Diamond weights apply to both solitaires and multiple-stone diamond jewelry.  For example, a solitaire diamond or an individual piece of diamond jewelry may be listed as having a total caret weight of 3 carets.  The actual diamond weight may vary from 2.96 to 3.04 carets and still be considered a 3 caret diamond.

Items in black are the Diamond carat weights or total diamond weight appearing in our product descriptions.

Items in blue are the Diamond carat weights or total diamond weight range (minimum) set in our finished products.
