Carat weight strongly influences price, especially at round numbers.
Diamonds priced at:
- 1.00 ct
- 1.50 ct
- 2.00 ct
carry noticeable price jumps.
What many clients don’t realize is that a diamond weighing just slightly under these numbers can:
- Look almost identical in size
- Cost significantly less per carat
Choosing intelligently around these thresholds often allows you to invest more where it matters, cut quality, proportions, or setting.
This is not compromise.
It’s perspective.
