It's impossible to give a precice answer to your question as a carat is an unit of weight, while a millimeter is a unit of area. Depending on how the stone is cut ( the cut of a stone is more a pattern and number of facets, ie: the brilliant cut must a) have a round girdle and b) have at least 56 facets. there have been brilliants cut with up to 146 facets ( to the best of my knowledge). Then there is the matter of shape. An one carat brilliant will have a much different set of measures than a one carat emerald ( rectangular) cut. Finaly there are the variations caused by the cutter himself as he makes decisions on what angles and sizes of the facets themselves ( as long as they are proportionate within the cut) will best show and flatter the stone. With all that said, I have seen one carat brilliants that have ranged from roughly 5.5 to 7 mm across the top depending on depth of cut, size of crown and table ( table = flat, crown = area between table and girdle) and width of girdle ( the ring around the widest part of the edge). I am sorry that this is probably not the exact # you were looking for, but it is the most exact I can give. If you are in the market for a stone, rather than a precise top measure, you will be better off sticking to the 4 C's ; Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Colour. That, a little research on your own ( gotta love the net!) and the help of a reputable jeweler are the keys to best balancing the beauty and the cost of each stone.
a typical round faceted 1 carat diamond is 6.5mm or nearly 1/4 inches wide
The diamond either weighs 100 points, or a full carat, or it weighs 80 points or 80/100ths of a carat.
A 1.00 point diamond is one carat, so a .12 point diamond is a little over 1/10th of a carat.
The 'better' stone would be a combination of its other attributes: colour, cut and clarity, in addition to its carat weight, which you state.
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.
If the diamond is a round brilliant cut, the 3mm measurement at the girdle indicates that the diamond weighs about 1/10th of a carat, or .10 carats.
No. Different cuts of diamond stones have different measuremenets, which are never directly related to the carat weight of the gem.
You can review the chart, below, to determine the specific gravity of diamond versus other gemstones, including several different types of rubies. From the chart you can deduce that depending on the type of ruby, it may or may not be exactly comparable to diamond.
One carat weight of diamond weighs .20 grammes, so your diamond is about half that weight, or roughly half a carat.
A common misconception. Carat is nothing to do with size. Carat is related to weight and therefore a 1 carat stone depends on the gemstone in question and its cut. 1 carat is 0.2g and a 1 carat round-cut diamond is approximately 6.5mm in diameter. Similarly, since CZ is a diamond simulant, a 1 carat round-cut CZ is also deemed to be one that is 6.5mm in diameter but such a stone actually weighs more than 0.2g because CZ is more dense than diamond.
A 1.00 carat round brilliant, when properly cut, should measure approximately 6.5 mm in diameter.
The diamond weighs one carat. Its other dimensions depend on its cut: round, princess, emerald and so forth. A carat is 0.2 grams; a pure diamond has a density of 3.5 gm cm-3 which translates to a volume of 0.057 cm3 per carat. As stated in the first answer the linear dimensions depend on the shape that is cut.
For a complete answer, you must go to this site:RarityOf the 4 C's, Carat Weight is probably one of the most important considerations with respect to rarity, value, and consumer preference. In fact, Carat Weight, or how much the diamond weighs is the most significant value factor in a diamond. Because diamonds by nature are rare, a 2 carat diamond is actually about 3 times more valuable than a comparable quality 1 carat size. Statistically a 1 carat is one in a million diamonds mined, and a 2 carat is one in five million diamonds mined. Therefore, all things considered a 2 carat diamond is really "value priced" based on the rarity factor.PricingLarger diamonds are much more rare, thus commanding a higher price/per/carat. Carat weight affects the value of a diamond by about 10-20% for each step in size difference. Also, "magic sizes" refer to major carat weight categories, for example exactly 1.00 carat, or larger, and can prompt "price premiums". To calculate the price of a diamond you multiply the carat weight by the price/per/carat. For example: if a 1.25 carat diamond was priced at $10,000 per/carat the diamond would be sold for $12,500.* http://www.diamonds.com/education/Carat.aspx
To calculate the volume of a 1 carat diamond, we first need to convert the carat weight to grams. Since 1 carat is 200 mg, it is equal to 0.2 grams. The volume of a diamond can vary depending on its shape, so without knowing the specific shape of the diamond, we cannot determine its volume.
A one carat diamond weighs one carat, or .20 grammes.
One carat is equal to 200 milligrams, or in other words, a 5-carat stone weighs 1 gram.
One carat diamond weight is equal to .20 grammes.
One carat of diamond weight equals 0.2 grams. One gram equals 1000 milligrams. Can you do the math?
