FAQ about 3 Carat Natural Diamonds

A 3 carat diamond value is going to largely depend on the 4C’s of said stone and the shape. A round diamond will always be the most expensive because it’s the most sought after shape and creates the most waste when being cut and polished from the rough. For the cut grade, don’t settle for anything less than Excellent. The light performance will suffer. For the other C’s, the higher the grade, the more expensive the diamond is going to be. Currently, an Excellent cut round brilliant natural 3 carat diamond is going to cost approximately $21,000 on the low end (K/SI2) and $170,000 on the high end (D/FL).
