Diamonds are commonly small gems on your wedding ring or diamond necklace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you’ve seen the extravagant diamonds on celebrity engagement rings<\/a> but are curious about the real largest diamond in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is tricky. Diamonds are judged and graded by many factors, like size and weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some large diamonds are not of gem quality and therefore not worth much. Other diamonds may be the largest of their specific color grade or shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have put together a list of some of the largest diamonds in the world that range from record-breaking rough diamonds to beautifully cut stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Carat Weight?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, it’s essential to understand that diamonds are not categorized by physical size but by weight. Carat weight<\/a> is the scale used to describe diamonds and other gemstones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One carat equals one-fifth of a gram. When judging diamonds by size, it is by carat weight. That is why you’ll often hear of one-carat or two-carat diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carat weight sounds like it deals with visible size, but it does not. A heavier carat weight diamond is not necessarily more sizable than a diamond of a lesser carat weight. That is usually only significant when talking about differences of one carat or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most diamonds in rings and jewelry will be between 0.5 carats and 2 carats. In contrast, some of the largest diamonds in the world surpass a thousand carats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Diamonds Rare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Large diamonds are rarer than smaller ones. So, a massive diamond is automatically rarer and attracts more attention when discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond grading follows the 4 C’s<\/a>: cut, color, clarity<\/a>, and carat weight. The diamonds that make headlines are the colossal stones with the highest gem quality; they are flawless and colorless or have a fancy color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more flawless the diamond, the more rare and expensive it will be. A small unblemished diamond is worth more than a larger rough stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamond pricing is complex, but after learning the principles, you can differentiate between what is physically grand and the most expensive diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
