You can use a diamond to measure emotion, or individual wealth.
Carats measure the weight of the diamond, regardless of its cut. A trustworthy gemologist will remove the stone from its setting, weigh it, and remount it, for a fee.
At the girdle, this stone would measure about 6.5 mm.
There is no direct correlation between a diamond's cut -- i.e., its linear measurements to carat weight. There can only be approximations. For example, a shallow cut will measure larger than a deeper cut stone.
A rhombus or diamond.
A square has 4 sides that are all equal in measure. A diamond shape or rhombus also has 4 sides that are all equal in measure. The only difference between the square and the rhombus is that the square also has four equal, right angles, while the rhombus has two sets of different angles. But the sides are the same.

you measure by how many shiy spots tere are!
Half carat is the term used to measure the weight of the real diamond. A diamond's weight does not define or detract from the fact that the diamond is or is not a real diamond.
A 3mm diamond may imply its dimension at the girdle. If the girdle is on a round diamond, this diamond may measure in the range of 1/10th of a carat.
The best way to measure smoothness in a loose diamond would be to rub every external facet of the stone over fine silk. If there are any chips on the surface of the stone, it will snag the silk. This is not a common test of a diamond, though.
Facets on a diamond can be one measure of a stone's quality. For instance, if the facets are aligned well then you probably have a quality cut.

Karats measure the purity of gold: carats describe diamond weight. A diamond accent contains as many carats in total weight, as all the diamonds weigh together.
As with all diamonds, they are all independently worth something. Jewelers will look for the three C's in determining the worth of the diamond. They measure the Cut, Clarity, and Carat weight of the diamond to determine its value.
Carat is the unit of measurement used to measure diamonds, other gemstones and pearls.
Take it to a jewelery store and they will measure it for you. It shouldn't cost you a thing!
