It depends on the shape. For e.g. a 1 carat round brilliant diamond has a width of 6,5 mm. Other shapes, such as a marquise diamond is cut to be a longer shape. A one carat marquise diamond would be about 10 mm x 4,75 mm. Oval, pear and emerald along with the marquise shape visually appear larger than the round and square shapes.

well it doesn't mean it's better (relative) it just means it is bigger
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]
14 karat diamond
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats (1 carat = 0.2 grams; it is a measure of weight). The purity of a gold setting is measured in karats (24 karat = pure gold, 18 karat = 75% gold)
A karat is a unit of measure used for the purity of gold, not weight. It represents 1/24th of the whole, so 24-karat gold is considered pure gold. The weight of gold is typically measured in grams or ounces.
Means 9 Karat (gold or diamond)
A karat ( or carat ) is = to 0.20 grams so; 1.92 Karats carbon (0.20 grams/1 karat)(1 mole C/12.01 grams)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole C) = 1.93 X 10^22 atoms of carbon in 1.92 karats
Carat is an indicator of weight; karat is an indicator of purity. Diamonds are measured in carats; gold is measured in karats. So, how big is a karat of gold? It can be as small as a molecule. There is no limit to how large a karat (purity) of gold can be.
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.
Oh, dude, 1ks on a diamond ring means there's a thousand small diamonds on it. It's like a blinged-out version of a regular diamond ring. So, if you're into that extra sparkle, that's the way to go.
