We would calculate the price of that carat by multiplying 2500 x 0 5.
A 0 25 carat quarter of a carat diamond with the same color and clarity grades as above costs around 1 600 per carat making the price of the diamond approximately 425.
The larger the diamond the more per carat it costs.
Cut grade and diameter over weight.
To compare that a one carat diamond is 6 4mm.
The per carat price increases exponentially as you move up in carat weight.
Larger diamonds are much rarer than smaller ones.
For example a 25 carat round diamond starts at around 300 and a 5 carat round diamond starts at around 650.
So while the one carat is double the weight the face of the half carat diamond is only 21 smaller.

That is 1 5th of an inch.
