Diamond Carat Weight
ASHI provides quality jewelry products with authentic gold, silver or platinum with
genuine diamonds and/or gemstones. Diamond carat weight is an important ingredient
in the diamond jewelry. Of course, no two diamonds are exactly alike. Each is cut
to maximize its natural beauty. In the process of diamond cutting, stones are sorted
by the resulting diamond weight using the decimal system. To give you the best selection
and price, our diamonds fall within a range appropriate to each fractional carat
weight listing. The difference may not be visible to the naked eye, but we know
it's important to you. That's why we've supplied the following table:
