Diamonds are measured in carat weight. One carat weighs 200 milligrams. If a diamond is referred to as four grains, this also means that a diamond of a carat. The word Carat comes from the word carob. A carob is a bean that grows on a tree in the Mediterranean. In the past, if a diamond weighed the same as locust bean gum, it was one carob, or one carat.

However, in the Far East, where the trees do not grow carob, rice has been used to measure the weight of a diamond. If a diamond weighed as much as four grains of rice, it was four grains, or one carat as we know now. The majority of diamond purchases are for diamonds that are 1 / 3 of a carat.

Beware when shopping for diamonds that are already set or mounted. If more than one diamond is used in the piece, the tag on the jewelry will give the CTW or Carat Total weight, do not tell you the carat weight of each stone in the room. You should ask the jeweler for the total carat weight of the largest diamond in the room to really understand what you are buying.

All the clarity of diamonds

Clarity is an important aspect of a diamond, and it is important to know how to categorize the clarity of a diamond before you buy one. It is actually quite easy to learn how to grade the clarity of a diamond. There are basically two things you must understand: Diamonds with inclusions and visual defects, and those that are "eye clean" means that no inclusions or defects that could be seen at the eye. From there, the clarity of a diamond is subdivided into three sub-categories.

Many people mistakenly think that diamond clarity refers to the way it is clear. This isnÐct then. Clarity actually refers to internal and external imperfections of the diamond. The best diamonds, of course get a grade of FL or IF Flawless or Internally Flawless, which means it is perfect. A note of I-1, means I-2 or I-3 that the diamond is imperfect, with a score of I-3 being the worst.

Other grades are VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond is very, very slightly imperfect; SP1 and SP2, which means the diamond is slightly imperfect, and SI-1 SI-2, which means that the diamond is slightly imperfect.

The diamonds are very rare?

When you walk into a jewelry store and see all the diamonds in all the different parameters that are for sale, it is difficult to realize that diamonds are indeed rare. Most people do not even stop to consider how that diamond came to be sitting in this case, jeweler! It is quite a bit of work to be done before a diamond is ready to sell to the public!

For every million diamonds that are mined, only one will be found that the quality is a caret of a diamond. To find a two caret diamond, about five million diamonds must be exploited. More than two hundred tons of ore must be mined to find a small diamond, and even then, over 80% of diamonds that are mined are only good for industrial use, such as pieces of diamond drilling.

So next time you visit your local jewelry store, ask to see one carat diamonds. You should look at this diamond with new appreciation, knowing that it is really one in a million!
