1.20ct Diamond vs. 1.3 Carat Diamond

There is a slight size difference between a 1.20 carat diamond and a 1.3 carat diamond. However, the difference is hard to notice with the naked eye. If you’re working on a budget, it’s best to go for a 1.20 carat diamond. Just don’t skimp on the diamond’s cut and clarity.

Suppose budget isn’t an issue for you. In that case, a 1.3 carat diamond is the best bang for your buck because it has approximately 5% more face-up area than a 1.20 carat diamond. However, you might not be able to notice this five percent increase when the ring is on the wearer’s hand.

Pricewise, 1.20 carat diamonds usually cost between $1,001 and $33,419. However, their average price is around $8,639. On the other hand, the price range of a 1.30 carat diamond can range between $897 and $54,709. But their average price is usually around $10, 480.

Choosing between these two carat weights comes down to personal preference and the amount of money you’re willing to spend. So, look at the two diamonds side by side and choose the one that feels right and fits your budget.
