Is a quarter carat diamond better than a third carat diamond?
It would depend on the quality of the diamond.

Which is better 14 carat or 18 carat?
18 carat, of course.Carat is the term used to express the weight of a diamond, with one carat equaling 200 milligrams of actual weight.Another AnswerYour spelling of carat confuses the issue.What you want to know is not about diamond weight -- carats -- but the purity of gold -- karats.Pure gold is 24 karat: 14 karat means that 10 parts of the mix are something other than gold, usually another, less expensive metal. Eighteen karat means that only six parts of the mix are another metal, which translates into an elevated price for 18 karat gold.Insofar as use is concerned, 18 karat gold is a little softer than 14 karat gold, so if the jewelery is worn continuously, the 18 karat gold piece is likely to show wear before the 14 karat gold piece will show it.

lower carat gold is great if you want your gold ring to be stronger...the downside is there is less gold. Because gold is a soft metal, it is usually paired with some alloy to make it stronger. The higher carat gold rings have more gold composition than alloy thus making them weaker but more pricy because there is more gold.

How much is a half sovereign 9 carat gold ring worth?
It depends on a lot of factors. The first is the condition of the ring. If it is bright and shiny with no scratches, chips, breaks or losses, it will be worth more than a ring that has any such defects. The second factor is authenticity. Many times in the last century and a half, jewelry makers created fake coin jewelry by making molds from real coins and then recasting the coins using lead and then plated or painted them gold or silver. If you have one of these rings, it's only costume jewelry. Finally, if it is legitimately 9 carat gold, it may still not be worth that much. 9 carat items can't even be sold as gold in the US, although they can in the UK, because they have very little real gold in them. 9 carat gold is only 37.5% gold and the rest is copper or nickel, two metals without great value. So, 9 carat gold is worth 37.5% of solid gold at best, and even at today's prices, most scrap gold buyers would not want to bother melting down and refining the tiny amount of gold in a ring because it would cost more than they would be able to sell the gold for.
