How much carat weight it a two point princess cut diamond?
I am wanting to know how much is a 2 point princess cut diamond in carat weight because I am wanting to buy a pendent with 348 of these on it. They are genuine diamonds and it also has like a 3 point princess cut on the top of the bell. It weighs 1 once and is 14k gold. The price is at $2200.
Answer:
Diamond have standard measure for weight in carats, and one cart equals to 1/142nd of an ounce, or 1/5th of a gram, which means that there are 5 carats in one gram. However some jewelers like to use the word "point" when describing diamond size. Diamond point is also the measure for diamond weight and is related to carats. One carat is divided into 100 points, which means that 50 point diamond weighs half of carat.

How to Buy a Certified Diamond Online
Four Steps to ensure a positive shopping experience for anyone intending to purchase a certified diamond online. The savings makes the effort well worthwhile.
Step One - you must purchase from some one qualified to know what they are doing. There are many imitations, treatments and synthetics out there which are very difficult to recognise. Diamonds are a complex subject, inexperience could easily make the seller a victim of fraud and inocently pass this on to you.
The best way to separate them is to only look at websites which have a huge diamond inventory. Good trade connections are necessary in order to access this type of inventory. This usually means they are well connected in the industy. Many also offer a 30day money back guarantee.
Typically the website would ask for you to enter details like the colour, clarity, shape, and sometimes even the type of certificate and quality of cut. Once you enter these details you are instantly presented with sometimes hundreds of diamonds to choose from.
Step Two - Certification by a recognised laboratory. There are only a small number of true laboratories in the world. Some of the most common ones I have listed below. This is a laboratory, not simply a valuation. Only a laboratory can recognise a synthetic diamond.
If you are considering purchasing a diamond certified by a laboratory not listed below then take great care. I am not saying that they are no good. In Australia for instance there are two local laboratories, the DCLA Diamond Certification Laboratory of Australia and the ADGL Australian Diamond Grading Laboratory. Both of these laboratories are recognised as legitimate and totally acceptable.
If the laboratory is not on the list make sure you phone your local Gemmological Association and ask if the laboratory is legitimate. Making this simple phone call could be the difference between a positive and a negitive shopping experience. There are a few unscrupulous people currently providing completely bogus certificates. These certificates look so official that customers are easily fooled.
The main laboratories are:- GIA, Gemological Institute of America, HRD, High Diamond Council of Antwerp, EGL, European Gemological Laboratory, IGI, International Gemmological Institute AGS or AGSL, American Gem Society Laboratory
Step Three - Check yellow pages or phone enquiries and confirm your order using this listed phone number. There is always the unlikely chance someone has copied the website and is tricking you to pay for the diamond into their account.
Step Four - Make sure the certificate actually matches the diamond you have bought. A qualified jewelery valuer should be able to do this for you for a small charge. There have been instances where a genuine certificate has been fraudulently copied and supplied along with lower grade diamonds.
If you follow these four simple steps you should be able to purchase the diamond of your dreams for the best possible price with complete confidence.
