Diamonds are all priced per carat. Lets say a 0.50 carat diamond has a price of $1400 캐럿당. That diamond’s price for the stone would be $1400 * 0.50, 또는 $700. Or, let’s say that a 1 carat diamond has a price of $4,100 캐럿당. This one is easy to calculate — since the diamond is 1 캐럿, the price for the stone is exactly the same — $4,100.
Diamond prices per carat increase as you jump up to higher weight categories. 요컨대, the higher the diamond’s carat weight, the higher the total amount you’ll need to pay per carat to purchase the diamond.
It’s actually possible for the price range per carat to actually be wider than this. 예를 들어, a diamond with very low color and clarity grades (예를 들어, M and I1) might cost slightly less per carat than the price ranges listed above.
하지만, is this a desirable diamond? Outside of certain circumstances, most likely not. At the other end of the scale, the highest end of the price ranges listed above is reserved for diamonds with exceptionally high color and clarity grades, which often don’t offer ideal value for money.
