Why We Created the MM to Carat Calculator
We’ve guided millions through diamond sizing with our charts, but standard online tools often fall short—they’re either too simplistic, ignore fancy shapes, or lack adjustments for real variations like girdle thickness. Partnering with gemologists from Ava Diamonds, we built something more robust: a calculator grounded in GIA data, updated for 2024 (Version 100), and expanded to include challenging cuts like French cut, tapered baguette, and lozenge.
The difference shows in the details. While basic converters assume ideal proportions, this one adapts: depth percentages shift with weight in pears and marquise, ratios guide spread in ovals, and girdle options reflect how thicker edges add hidden weight. The result? Estimates typically within 5% of actual scaled weights, helping you avoid surprises when stones hit the scale.
