Hi, all!

I need some guidance regarding finding a chart or information that will associate the size of a round stone (Diameter) to the size in carats. I am searching for round stones for a channel setting that are to be: 4mm, 3.5mm and 3mm across the table. What does this, in general, associate with carat size?

Thanks!

I tried to post a conversion chart here but couldn't get it to post. A 4mm stone is about 1/4 ct. or 23-25 points. A 3 1/2mm diamond would be about 16 or 17 points and a 3mm stone is about 10 or 11 points.

To find the approximate carat weight of a well-cut diamond given its diameter, use the following formula:

Carat weight = (Diameter / 6.5)^3

I recommend WhiteFlash's ACA Melee for your smaller stones...they carry them as small as .01c For the larger 4mm ones you would probably need to pay a little more since they AGS cert anything over .20c which means more $$....but for the .16 (I think they carry .15) and .10 you would just buy using their melee pricing.

You are looking at aboout respectively 0.23ct (4mm), 0.15ct(3.5mm) and 0.10ct (3mm). I too would suggest ACA melee. They seem to be marvelous.
