How Big Isa6 Carat Diamond?

Above is a picture to demonstrate the size of a round 6 carat diamond.

On average, a human finger is around 17mm wide.And the approximate size for a 6 carat round diamond is 11.70mm.Therefore,a diamond of this size will takeuparound 60% of your finger. And that is without having a halo setting or any additional diamondsaround the central piece.

For this reason, we don’t recommend adding decorationsto your center diamond piece. No matter where yougo, 6 carat engagement ringswillundoubtedlymake a statementon their own.

What DeterminesaDiamond’sPrice

Many factors determine a diamond’s price.However, some of the most common ones areits4Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat.

Let’s have a quick look at how a diamond’s price depends on its carat number.For example, let’s say that thediamonds from the table below all have a J color grade and a VS2 clarity grade. Thus, the only differenceis in thecarats.

You can see how the price more than doubles when only one of the 4C’s changes.

Useful Technical Terms Worth Knowing

Buying 6 carat diamond engagement rings is undoubtedly the purchase of a lifetime. You’ll most likely cash out thousands of dollars, and you want to be sure you’ve made the right choice.For this reason,it wouldn’t hurt to know some of the basic terms you’ll come across.

Carat vs. Karat

You might be confused to learn these are twocompletelydifferent things. We use carats to measure a diamond’s weight. For example, a 1 carat diamond ring weighs 200 milligrams. Accordingly, a 6 carat round diamond will weigh 1.2 grams. And this is the weight you can definitely feel on your finger.

On the other hand, karats are not related to diamonds in any way. We use karats as a measurement unit for gold purity. For example, pure gold is 24 karats. However, due to its soft structure, golden jewelry makers usually add at least 25% alloys,whichmakes it18 karats.

Hopefully, you now understand the difference between a carat and a karat.

Carat Weight (CW) vs. Total Carat Weight (TCW)

This is another thing worth mentioning. Some jewelers will measure all diamondsinside thering and call it the carat weight. However, we don’t believe in listing rings this way. With us, your central diamond piece has a separate weight (CW), and an additional diamond setting will add to its total carat weight (TCW).

DiamondSize vs.DiamondCarat

People commonly mistake these two different characteristics. As we explained earlier, carat is the unit we measure diamond’s weight with.

On the other hand, a diamond’s size will be different depending on its shape and cut. Also, its surface area and depth have asignificantinfluence. For example, a diamond with a larger surface area and less facets will appear smaller than the same carat diamond of a different shape.

6 Carat Diamond Ring Shapes

Your diamond ring shape will depend mostly on your personal likings. Or the likings of your girlfriend, for that matter. In either case, you can find a stunning 6 carat ring shape to match anyone’s taste. The most common shape has to be the round brilliant. That’s because of its timeless appeal that fits any occasion. However, you can go for a more elongated or a pear diamond shape.

Here’s a quick overview of the most popular diamond shapes you can find in our collection:

Old European Engagement Rings

We present you our specialty, the Old European cut diamond rings. This cut type has been around ever since the 1800s. All diamond rings from this collection are extremely rare and you’ll be sure to cherish them for a lifetime. We make these exquisite jewelry pieces using the tools and techniques of the old European Jewelry Masters.

Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Wearing a cushion cut diamond ring is just so special. Firstly, the diamond cutters make these rings in the square or rectangular shape as they don’t use the machines for more precise cutting. This makes the ringsextremely authentic. What is more, these rings have a timeless appeal and are bound to win the heart of your future wife.

Asscher Cut Engagement Rings

You can also find these rings under the “square emerald cut” name. These rings first appeared in 1902, and have remained popular ever since. These are step-cut diamonds, and their facets come in a series of parallel rectangular (or square) shapes. Undoubtedly, this ring would make a nice addition to your jewelry collection.

Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

Other shapes

Our unique collection includes some other elegant ring shapes such as oval or pear.

Oval cuts are becoming more and more popular today. They seem larger due to their shape, but they might reveal some inclusions for that very reason.

Similarly totheoval cut,thepear cut’s popularityhas grownrecently. It comes with an elongated shape which can be quite challenging at times. So you’ll have a harder time choosing your ideal shape as some tend to be wider and sharper than others. Inthecasethatyou opt for a pear cut ring, make sure to talk to a professional jeweler about choosing the perfect shape for you.

6 Carat Diamond Ring Color

Yet another important consideration when choosing your 6 carat diamond ring is the color.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond colors from D to Z.

You probably know that the perfect diamond is colorless. Thisdiamond hasa D color grade. So if you were to dipitin a glass of water, you wouldn’t be able to noticeit.

On the other hand, if you see a grade Z next to a diamond ring, it meansthatit leans towards a brown or yellow hue. However, you probably won’t be able to tell the difference with a naked eye between, say, anF and G diamond hue.For this reason,we highly recommend choosing anything in the range from G to I. Ultimately, you’ll be able to save some money on higher color grades that wouldn’t really make any visual difference.

Why Buy a 6 Carat Vintage Ring?

Firstly, what you should know is that all diamonds above 2 carats are extremely rare. If you’re looking for a 2+ carat diamond, you most likely want to buy an antique ring.For this reason,we couldn’t recommend them more.These rings will certainly make you stand out from the crowdanywhere you go.

There are several reasons why vintage rings are a better purchase than a modern ring:

1. Ethical reasons

Maybe you’re familiar with the term “blood diamonds.” These are diamonds that originate from conflict-zone areas around the world. As their mining has been active for the last 100 years, antique rings are your best ethically clean choice.

However, no matter what ring you buy, you should always ask about its origin and specifications.For this reason,we’llalwaysprovide you with theessentialdetails about any ring from our collection.

2. Manufacturing

Obviously, nothing can match a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind diamond engagement ring. Yes, by using technology and lasers, you can make a perfectly round (or any other shape) diamond. And you can make thousands of them exactly the same. However, this is not the case with antique engagement rings. These rings are all unique, so you can be sure that no oneelse will havethe same diamond shape as you.

3. It Has a Story

Having a hundred-year-old ring on your finger is like wearing history. There’s just something irresistible and romantic about wearing jewelry from another era. For example, a Victorian-era ring might feel like it came straight out of the Queen’s jewelry box.

Symbolically, a vintage ring on your fiancée’s hand will be like the bridge between the past and the future.Andthe future that is made bythe two of you.

For example, if you found a shop with more negative than positive Google reviews, you don’t want to risk being their,yet another,unsatisfied customer.
• Once you’re in the store, ask for your ring’s documents or certificates. You’ll want to double-check that all ring characteristics match.Additionally, it would be best if the rings also have a GIA certificate.So take your time to go through the documentation, and if you find something suspicious, be sure to ask the seller for clarification.
