The mineral name of diamond is diamond. The weight of a diamond is generally expressed by "carat (ct)", 1ct=200mg (milligram)=0.2g (gram), 1Ct is divided into 100 points (half carat-0.50 ct-diamond can be described as 50 points) . When the quality of polished diamonds is expressed in "carats", it is required to be accurate to two decimal places, and the third place is rounded to nine. Such as 0.998ct should be recorded as 0.99ct, and 0.999ct can be recorded as 1.00ct.

 

In addition, whether the diamond reaches 1ct has a large price difference. With color grade D, the price difference between 99 points of clarity grade IF and 1ct diamond is as high as 70,000 yuan. Therefore, diamond dealers will find ways to keep the weight at 1ct in any case. the above.
