The weight of a diamond is measured in carats, with one carat equaling 200
milligrams or 0.20 grams of weight.
The abbreviation
ct
refers to the weight of a single stone.

How Carat Weight Affects Value
The weight of a diamond has the biggest impact on its price. If
all other factors are the same, the more a stone weighs, the more valuable it
will be.
Larger diamonds are more rare and in more demand than smaller
stones of the same quality. So price increases as you go from smaller to larger
stones.
Diamond Prices
When you begin shopping you will notice that the price of a
diamond does not increase proportionately. The larger the stone (of the same
quality), the more disproportionate the increase in cost.
For example, a 2-carat diamond will not cost twice as much as a
1-carat diamond. It could easily be four times as much.
