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
