Diamond Spread

When it comes to diamonds, there are many technical terms, which you need to familiarize in order to be able to make a sensible purchase. When buying a 1.5 carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring, for instance, you need to know about its clarity, cut, carat size, and color.

Simply put, a diamond’s spread is how big it looks when it is face up. This combines many measurements, like the diameter, table size, depth, and girdle thickness. Normally, the bigger the diamond's spread means bigger size, but this is not always the case.
