Diamond carat weight is measured as how much a diamond weighs. Carat weight is measured to the hundreth of a decimal point. There is a significant difference in value when it comes to a diamond being 0.99 carats and 1.00 carat, so accurately measuring the weight of the stone is ery important. A single stone is exponentially more valuable than many smaller stones with the same weight. 100 individual diamonds each being 0.01 carats equals a total of 1.00 carat but a single 1.00 carat stone could be worth 10-100 times the value of the smaller stones.
