Many people are familiar with Carat weight – it is the mass of a diamond. While Carat refers to weight, it is often reflected in the stone’s size: higher Carat
weight = larger stone. However, this is not always the case, as the ratio (length, width, and depth) of a stone’s cut can affect how large it appears.

The style of setting can also affect how large a stone looks. For example, a 2 CT diamond can be set alone in a low-profile Solitaire setting, making it understated and versatile. On the other hand, set in a high-profile Pavé setting surrounded by round cut side stones will make it appear more dazzling and eye-catching.

Carat size comes down to personal preference, and people prefer different Carat weights for different reasons, from aesthetics, to lifestyle, to versatility.
