Diamond Carat Weight (abbreviated Ct)
|
Diamond carat weight is a metric measure of diamond weight. 1 Carat is equivalent to 0.20 grams. 1 Carat is divided into 100 points, so diamonds singly or collectively weighing 0.50cts will be 50 points (pts) in weight. Similarly, a quarter of a carat of diamonds (0.25cts) will be 25 points. Collectively, a quantity of diamonds weighing in total 0.50cts will not have the same value as a single diamond of the same weight.
- 1ct = 100 points
- 1ct = 0.20 grams
