How does diamond carat weight impact oval engagement ring price?
Because larger diamonds are more rare, the heavier the diamond, the higher the price. For example, a 1 carat oval diamond would be valued higher than two 0.50 carat oval diamonds of the same quality. In general, a doubling the size of your diamond can cost three to four times more.
Highly sought-after oval diamond sizes can also carry a price premium. If you’re after a 1, 1.5 or 2 carat etc. we recommend buying just shy of these carat weights, which can result in savings.
