Colors of Life and...


"Points" is another term that you will hear to describe the weight of a diamond. The term "points" is used in the diamond industry to indicate diamond measurements that are lower than one carat. In the points measurement, one carat is divided into 100 points. Basically, if you are looking at a half-carat diamond, you may hear it being described as a 50-point diamond. Using the term '50 points' is simply another way of saying that the diamond is a 'half-carat' or 0.50 carats.
