Best Answer

Carats are used to measure a diamond's weight.

A jeweler can estimate the carat weight; a gemologist will remove the stone and weigh it, then give you a certificate that includes not only its weight, but its clarity, colour and the name and grade of the cut.

Diamonds are graded based on the 4 C's, cut, clarity, color and carat weight. A diamond is measured in two ways: carat weight and size. Jewelers use scales to determine the weight of a diamond, however the size of a diamond depends on the cut of it as it can impact how big or small a diamond may appear.
