CWI Diamond Co FAQ8 – How much is a 1 carat diamond?

Q: How much is a 1 carat diamond? A: This is a common question I get asked a lot. However, it is impossible to answer, a one carat diamond can be worth as low as $3000, and as much as $20000. Every diamond is unique and every diamond has a price. The price of a weighed diamond is determined by the colour the clarity and the cut. The different combinations of colour and clarity put each diamond into different price bracket. After that, minute differences of cut, fluorescence and proportions also affect the price. It is my feeling, that is more important to learn the characteristics of a diamond and determine which characteristics you wish your diamond to have. Once we know what type of quality, you require, I will be able to give you examples of how much each size will cost. My aim, always, is to provide you with the largest stone your budget allows.
