Carat weight of diamond

Carat – refers to the weight of the diamond, not the size.  1 carat = 200 milligrams = 0.2 grams.  Sometimes, people are misunderstanding that a larger carat weight must be better than a smaller carat weight.  Carat weight is not related to sparkle, a good cut makes the diamond how beautiful sparkle it is.
