Every diamond is valued according to its cut, colour, carat weight and clarity.
The karat (carat in Britain) is used for two things. (1) as the weight of a gem such as a diamond. 1 karat is 0.2 gram (gramme). (2) as the purity of gold. 24 karat gold is 100% gold. 18 karat gold is 75% (18/24) gold. [Gold is combined with silver and/ or copper when not 24 karat]
A karat signifies how pure gold is and the higher it is the more gold there is. Pure gold, which is 100%, is too soft to use so it often has other metals mixed in to make more durable. 14 karat gold is 58% gold, 18 karat gold is 75% gold.
It would depend on the quality of the diamond. Obviously a quarter carat is smaller than a third but if the third carat is of poor quality and the quarter is superior quality then the quarter would be worth more.Another AnswerEvery diamond is valued by its carat weight, its colour, its clarity and its cut.
