The weight or overall size of a diamond is measured in carats. In fact, all gemstones are measured in this fashion. Of course, the larger the diamond, the more you can expect to pay for it, however the price does not increase on an even scale. A 2 carat diamond will not be twice the cost of a 1 carat diamond, despite being twice the size. The larger the diamond, the rarer it becomes and as such the price increases exponentially.

The chart below is a basic representation of the average sizes of diamonds for a particular carat weight. The chart is by no means exact and should only be used as a rough guideline and comparison.
