Standard measure of a diamond's size is carat(ct) weight. One Carat= 200 milligrams, or 0.2 grams. 142 carats adds up to one ounce. Carats are further divided into points. Size alone is almost meaningless unless you consider cut, clarity and color. A large stone is not very valuable if it lacks brilliance, purity and high-grade color. For the reason that large stones are harder to find than small ones, size does increase the value of a good diamond.
No two diamonds are exactly alike, and a reputable jeweler can help you weigh all of the factors - color, cut, clarity and carat weight.
