Diamonds are measured in Carat Weight. One carat weighs 200 milligrams. On the off chance that a precious stone is alluded to as four grains, this likewise implies that it is a one carat precious stone. The word Carat originates from the word carob. A carob is a bean that develops on a tree in the Mediterranean. In times past, if a precious stone measured the same as a carob bean, it was one carob, or one carat.

In any case, in the far east, where Carob trees try not to develop, rice was utilized to quantify the weight of a precious stone. In the event that a precious stone weighed as much as four grains of rice, it was four grains – or one carat as we probably am aware it to be presently. The dominant part of precious stone buys are for precious stones that are 1/3 of a carat.
Be careful when looking for precious stones that are now set or mounted. On the off chance that more than one diamond is utilized as a part of the piece, the tag on the adornments will give the CTW or Carat Total Weight – it doesn't let you know the carat weight of every stone in the piece. You have to inquire the diamond setter for the aggregate carat weight of the biggest precious stone in the piece to really comprehend what you are purchasing.
