JEWELRY INFORMATION

Diamonds

Diamond weights are stated in "carats."  A carat is equal to 200 milligrams (or 1/5 gram).  A carat is divided into 100 points.   Therefore, a .25 carat diamond may be referred to as a  25-point diamond.  

Diamond weights may not be exact.  For us to offer you these low FTC prices, we sell our diamonds in size ranges.  The following chart shows the range of weight for each size diamond.
