| Size and Weight Back To Top |
- Gems are always measured in Millimeter (mm)
Compare mm Size with US coins
- Dimensions are given as length x width x depth, except for round stones which are diameter x depth
- Select gems by size, not by weight! Gem varieties vary in density, so carat weight is not a good indication of size
- Note: 1ct = 0.2g
|
| Additional Quantities |
- Every item is unique, so you can only order 1 of each item
- However, we often have similar or matching items. If so, we display them on the same gem detail page
