您知道钻石的重量单位是克拉(与黄金的克拉不同)吗?一克拉等于0.2克,因此0.50克拉的钻石重0.1克,5克拉的钻石重1克。
随着钻石克拉数的增加,其大小也随之增加。但这种增加并不成正比--如果我们将其绘制在图表上,它将呈现一条曲线。因此,一颗2.0克拉的钻石看起来并不会比1.0克拉的钻石大一倍,如下图所示。

在比较重量相近的钻石时,仔细检查它们的测量值是非常有用的。重量相同的钻石,其尺寸可能大不相同。在价格相同的情况下,选择尺寸更宽的钻石,可以获得更大的表面积(因此看起来钻石更大)。

0.50克拉、0.75克拉和1.0克拉的钻石非常受欢迎,虽然重量相差不大,但价格却相差很大。例如,0.90克拉的钻石可能比相同质量的1.0克拉钻石贵10-20%。这两颗钻石看起来几乎一样,但其中一颗的价格却比另一颗更容易接受。
关于克拉重您需要知道的一切
什么是克拉重?
克拉重是衡量钻石重量的单位,也是决定钻石价值的一个关键因素。一克拉相当于0.2克,与一个回形针的重量相当。不过,克拉重并不能代表钻石的大小。
克拉重如何影响钻石的大小?
- 形状:即使克拉重完全相同,不同形状的钻石在外观上也会表现出大小区别。相同克拉重的圆形钻石会比公主方形切工的钻石看起来大一些。
- 切工:除了克拉重,钻石的切工也会影响其视觉大小。切工良好的钻石能更有效地反射光线,使其看起来更大、更亮。
- Appearance: As well as carat weight, colour, clarity, and a diamond’s setting can impact how large or small it appears.
What does carat weight mean for diamond price?
Carat weight is one of the main factors in determining a diamond's price, with larger diamonds typically commanding higher prices per carat. However, the relationship between carat weight and price is not linear, as larger diamonds are rarer, and therefore more valuable.
What’s the most popular carat weight for engagement rings?
Generally, anywhere between 1 to 2 carats. These stones are striking to look at, but also comparatively affordable. What matters most though is choosing a stone that’s special to you and reflects the unique love story of the person wearing it.
Carat weight vs. diamond cut: What matters more?
Carat weight and cut are both important, and they affect a diamond’s appearance in different ways. While carat weight refers to size, cut impacts the way a diamond sparkles in the light. A well-cut diamond of a modest carat weight can appear more impressive than a larger diamond with a poorer cut.
