Diamond Weight: Understanding Millimeters vs. Carat Weight
QuestionNoone seems to be able to answer this simple question. What does 2mm diamond equal to in carat weight? A full chart example would be jice. Thank you..also a 2.5mm diamond=to carat weight. Carol
AnswerIt depends on the cut and quality of the stone.If it has inclusions it will weigh more than if it is internally flawless, or in some instances of inclusions being graphite it is less than average Total carat weight.So if you tell me the cut clarity and colour of the diamond I will be able to give you a more definitive answer. There is also a difference if the stone is machine cut or handcut, so no melee diamond (small stones are referred to as melee) is going to weigh exactly the same. I will also look for a chart ( as I know I have one lying around somewhere and a formula that you can use to calculate the stone weights of all your gems..).
I'll be looking for your information.
