Diamond price per carat: Find the carat price for the diamond of your choice

Carat price for the diamond of your choice

Ever wondered how to find the diamond price per carat? Here’s a price per carat table for one of the readily available diamonds: a round, G color diamond with VS 2 clarity.

Carat weightPrice per carat
0.46 to 0.49 caratUSD 2800
0.50 to 0.69 caratUSD 3600
0.70 to 0.89 caratUSD 4700
0.90 to 0.99 caratUSD 5700
1.00 to 1.49 caratUSD 6600
1.50 to 1.99 caratUSD 8400
2.00 to 2.99 caratUSD 10200
3.00 to 3.99 caratUSD 11600
4.00 to 4.99 caratUSD 13000
5.00 to 5.99 caratUSD 16700

(Figures quoted from the Rapaport Diamond Report)

Tip: Since the price per carat increases in steps at various critical weights, you can save a lot of money by purchasing a diamond with a carat weight just before the break. For example, a 1.45 carat diamond looks similar to a 1.50 carat diamond, but costs significantly less.

Some weights are also in more limited supply than others, and thus have a higher price per carat. Rare carat weight diamonds include the 0.67 carat diamond and the 1.25 carat diamond. These technicalities do not actually affect the appearance of the diamond significantly; the best way to find value buys is thus to avoid buying diamonds of these rare carat weights.
