One carat is equal to 200 milligrams. The value of a diamond usually increases as the carat weight increases. This is because big diamonds are rare and are much preferred to be used as gems.

Another thing that we hear about is the clarity of the diamond. Clarity refers to the absence or presence of flaws inside or on the surface of a diamond. This means that if a diamond has perfect clarity then the gem is extremely clear, which in reality is very rare.

Even high grade diamonds contain imperfections, one need to look through a magnifying glass, however, to identify and fully assess the clarity of the gems. Some of the things that one needs to look for include imperfections, or flaws, inside a diamond; white, black or other colored spots on and inside the surface; visible cracks which can cause some problems like causing the stone to split' and the presence of colored and uncolored crystals.

Diamond blemishes found on a diamond's surface also varies. Sometimes these blemishes affect the clarity and value of the stone but fortunately most of the blemishes have little or no affect on its outside look.

Most common among the diamond's blemishes include scratches on the surface, nicks or chipped portions of the diamond and pits or holes in the stone's surface.
