âºâº Definition: Carat. Carat (mass) is a unit of mass for gems. It is equal to 0.2 gram. In the United States, carat almost exclusively means the unit of mass.
The carat weight measures the mass of a diamond. One carat is defined as 200 milligrams (about 0.007 ounce avoirdupois). The point unitâequal to one one-hundredth of a carat (0.01 carat, or 2 mg)âis commonly used for diamonds of less than one carat.All else being equal, the price per carat increases with carat weight, since larger diamonds are both rarer and more desirable for use as gemstones.A poorly cut 1.0 carat (200 mg) diamond may have the same diameter and appear as large as a 0.85 carats (170 mg) diamond.) The depth percentage is the overall quickest indication of the quality of the cut of a round brilliant. Ideal round brilliant diamonds should not have a depth percentage greater than 62.5%.
