Diamond Carat
Diamond weight is measured in carats, a precise unit equal to 200 milligrams, with each carat divisible into 100 points. While carat weight is easily determined by gemologists using advanced measuring equipment, it’s crucial to understand that two diamonds of equal weight can differ significantly in value based on their cut, color, and clarity.
Size perception can vary, as one diamond may appear larger than another of the same weight due to differences in cut. For those prioritizing size, focusing on diamond measurements rather than carat weight is recommended to ensure optimal brilliance and fire.

Choosing the Perfect Diamond Carat
Carat weight doesn’t always equate to size increase. Larger diamonds cost more due to rarity. Consider cut, personal preferences, finger size, and setting when choosing the ideal balance of size and brilliance.
Preference
When selecting the ideal diamond carat, numerous factors come into play, influencing the size, shape, sparkle, and overall appearance of your precious stone. At Empress Diamonds, we’ve streamlined the process into four essential components to help you easily discover your perfect gem.
Finger Size
The size and proportions of your hand and fingers can significantly impact how a diamond appears. For smaller hands, smaller diamonds often appear more proportionate and visually larger. Rest assured, we’ll help you find a diamond that harmonizes perfectly with your hand size and proportions.
Style
The choice of diamond carat varies depending on the cut and style you envision. For example, an emerald cut diamond with a larger surface area but smaller carat may suit some styles. At Empress Diamonds, we take pride in bringing your dream design to life, whether recreating an existing ring or crafting a bespoke piece tailored to your vision.
Budget
If you have a specific budget, our experts will guide you through our extensive collection based on your priorities. Whether seeking a larger diamond or prioritizing clarity, color, or cut, we’ll present options that align with your needs and preferences, ensuring you find the perfect diamond without compromising on quality or beauty.
