Can someone help me with the sizes of melees?

1. Physical dimension of a 0.02ct
2. Physical dimension of a 0.03ct
3. Physical dimension of a 0.05ct
4. Physical dimension of a 0.10ct

I need the measurements to make a final decision as to the quantity of stones and size that would best fit the look I am aiming for. Thanks.

now HERE'S a dumb question:

when a jeweler talks about pave being done with "half pointers", "one pointers" and "one a half pointers", is that .05, .10 and .15, or .005, .01 and .015?

i am so clueless.

The latter. 0.10 is a "ten pointer," so 0.01 is a "one pointer."

Half pointer = 0.005 ct
1 pointer = 0.01 ct
One & a pointer = 0.015 ct
2 pointer = 0.02 ct
3 pointer = 0.03 ct
5 pointer = 0.05 ct
10 pointer = 0.10 ct

Does that make sense now?
