Carat is easiest of the 4 Cs to understand and quantify, because it’s simply a matter of weighing the diamond. One carat has 100 “points.” So, if a diamond has 75 points, it weighs 0.75 carats.

Generally, a diamond’s size increases as its weight increases. But higher carat weight doesn’t mean higher quality. Fine quality is found in diamonds of all carat weights.
