A sparkling diamond turns your engagement ring into a very special piece of jewelry. But what does "carat" actually mean for diamonds? How does the carat number influence the value and appearance? What exactly is a carat diamond and what should you look out for when choosing a real diamond? We will show you which high-quality gemstones you can find in our wedding rings and engagement rings.
What does "carat" mean for diamonds?
Carat is the unit of weight for gemstones. One carat corresponds to exactly 0.2 grams. The carat number therefore determines how heavy a diamond is. This unit is internationally standardized and ensures that diamonds are valued uniformly worldwide.
However, it is not just the carat weight that determines the brilliance and quality of a diamond. The cut, clarity and color are equally decisive factors. Nevertheless, the number of carats is an important criterion for the value and visual effect of the stone.
How do you measure carats in diamonds?
Diamonds are measured using high-precision scales that are accurate to a thousandth of a gram. This allows the carat weight to be determined exactly and ensures a fair valuation. In addition to the pure weight, the proportions of the diamond also influence its visual appearance. A carat diamond with a larger diameter but shallower cut can appear visually larger than a heavier stone with a deeper cut.
You can use the jeweler search to find an experienced partner jeweler near you. Our partner jewelers are always on hand to help you assess diamonds or provide advice. They will help you to correctly assess the quality and brilliance of a diamond and make the ideal choice for you. With their specialist knowledge and trained eye, they will assess the cut, color, clarity and carat number so that you can be sure of finding a first-class gemstone for your special moment.

Which square number suits me?
Whether classically elegant or glamorously imposing - the right number of carats depends on your personal preferences, your budget and the size of your fingers. A brief overview:
- 0.25 carat: understated and stylish, ideal for narrow rings
- 0.50 carat: a harmonious balance between elegance and subtle conspicuousness
- 0.75 carat: an expressive sparkle, ideal for everyday wear
- 1.00 carat: the classic engagement ring, timeless and elegant
- 1.50 carats and more: a statement diamond for anyone who wants to make an unforgettable impression
The ideal balance of ring design, cut and carat ensures that your diamond is shown to its best advantage.
