Using A Diamond Size Chart

By Anthony Clark


A novice at jewellery shopping could find it hard to choose gems for purchase. A helpful guide which they can make use of is a diamond size chart. The tips in the following paragraphs illustrate the use of this guide.

To begin with, realise that the size being taken into account more than any other here is not how big the actual diamonds are. Instead, the carat of these gems are the focus of such charting (though the first quality is by no means neglected). Make sure that this is kept in mind when using this guide, as you should have a better idea of what to appraise.

The larger the carat that is listed, the more expensive the gem is likely to be. This is because gems that have larger carats will be much rarer and therefore will have greater retail value in the marketplace. This is something else that cannot be overlooked when shopping for these items.

Also know that since carat will not equal how large a gem will actually be, a high carat does not mean a large gem. The carat and the measurement are two separate quantities. And it is vital that those quantities are not muddled by you.

Finally, make sure that the tool with which you are provided is certified by the GIA. They are the worldwide authority on gemstone carats and values, and they can be used to independently verify a merchant's wares. So take care that their seal of approval is present before you make any purchases from anyone.

To summarise, employing a diamond size chart is a question of awareness. This awareness should cover the distinction between carats and measurements, the correlation between expense and carat, and the essential approval of the GIA. And as long as the paragraphs above are heeded, then all these areas should be covered.
