What Is a 3 Carat Diamond?

The word “carat” is the unit of measurement for a diamond. A carat translates to the weight that a diamond can carry. It is important to understand that carat weight is a measure of weight, not size.

One carat is equivalent to 0.2g, so 3 carats is equal to 0.6g, or 600mg. Weight is always the primary factor in determining the price of a diamond rather than size. 

Shapes and cut quality determine how big the diamond looks. The most precise measurement, up to the 100th decimal point, can be achieved by jewelers with the help of a carat. The diamond carat also helps jewelers to determine the price more accurately.

The 3 carat diamond comes under “big diamonds”. For this reason, the 3 carat diamond has become the popular choice among engagement rings. The people who had to consider buying a ring of this carat weight have not regretted their decisions, saying the 3 carat diamond size looks perfect for any hand.

Although the weight of the 3 carat diamond ring is small, with the right cut, its size is pretty enough to look good on your hand. This size of diamond can easily fit into any kind of engagement ring setting.

3 Carat Diamond Ring Price

If you are thinking of a brilliant, shiny stone present at the center of the ring, which is going to attract all the attention in the room, then you should go for a 3 carat diamond ring.

This carat weight is a great option if your loved one desires a perfect and sparkling ring to flaunt. Buying a diamond is a one-time investment for many people, so one should buy a diamond that suits their style and desires

Lab-grown diamonds are generally preferred by jewelers because they are similar to natural diamonds both physically and chemically. The difference is their origin and price. Lab-grown diamonds come at a price of about 30 to 40% less.

The price of 3 carat diamonds can range from $15,000 to $100,000. According to recent data, the average price of a 3 carat diamond ring lies around $45,000-$50,000. 

However, prices can be changed based on cuts, clarity, and many other factors.

Where you purchase the diamond also determines the final price. There can be two options: online or in jewelry shops. If you choose to buy diamonds online, it can be profitable for you. You can save up to 20% by buying diamonds online. 

The Best Color Grades for 3 Carat Diamond Ring

The color grade is another important thing when buying a diamond. It has a huge impact on pricing. As the color grade goes down, the possibility of seeing yellow and brown tints increases inside the diamond. The chances of seeing this yellowish tint in a 3 carat diamond ring can be high because of its large surface area.

You will get to see the diamond color grade ranges from pure colorless ‘D’ to having a yellow and brown tint ‘Z’. You don’t need to go for high color grades and spend more on them for the sake of a colorless appearance.

A little lower grade like I and J will still look colorless while not being extremely expensive. Sometimes a little color can also look good in diamonds, but that is for fancy colors. You will need to check the diamond out thoroughly or have it checked to get a balance between price and beauty. 

The setting of the diamond in a ring also determines how the color of your diamond will be seen. For white metals, the G color grade will look perfect, while for warm-colored metals, the H or I grade of color diamonds will look perfect.

3 Carat Diamond Ring on Hand

It is important to decide which carat diamond is going to suit your hand. The size of your hand and fingers is going to decide how perfect a diamond looks on your hand. The cut size and ring size also determine whether it looks good or not. 

Extended cuts are going to make the fingers look longer and thinner. A long stone can dominate the fingers. Also, heavy long stones can strain your hands.

Shapes are also a determining factor. Make sure to try different types of diamond shapes before finalizing the diamond. Different shapes make fingers look different in size.

How to Choose a 3 Carat Diamond Using the Four C’s

Each of the 4Cs grades is an important factor in determining the final price of the diamond.

Below is a brief explanation of how 4Cs affect the price:

• Always look for the best cut: The poor-cut diamond also looks shiny, but that doesn’t mean that it is worth your money. In reality, a well-cut 3 carat diamond will look exuberant. The cut of your diamond is an important factor in determining its price and beauty.
• Color in a 3 carat diamond: As the size of the diamond increases, the role of color in deciding the quality of the diamond also increases. The color grade chart by GIA can help you when selecting diamonds.
  However, it is not mandatory to only buy a high-color grade diamond; you can go for a slightly lower one as long as it looks colorless. Going down a single grade from colorless won’t have any visible difference, and you will also be able to save money.
• Clarity in a 3 carat diamond: A 3 carat diamond is placed under the ‘large diamonds’ category. Larger diamonds have a high probability of showing inclusions clearly. Hence, when going for a 3 carat diamond, try to choose a stone in which the inclusions are not visible to the naked eye. For example, in 3 carat SI2 diamonds, inclusions can be easily seen. while a 3 carat VS2 diamond is going to be eye-clean to the viewer.

Carat in 3 carat diamond– a carat is the unit in which diamond weight is measured. When buying a diamond, the total price of a diamond is mainly decided by carat. The higher the carat weight, the more you will have to pay.
