FAQs About Half Carat Diamonds
A carat is a unit of measurement that refers to the weight of a diamond. The carat of the diamond affects the price of the diamond more than any other of the 4Cs.
The cost of any diamond is based on a number of factors, including carat, cut, colour, and clarity. Depending on these factors, a half-carat diamond value can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
Because a carat is a measurement of weight, not size, a half-carat diamond size varies based on the cut of the diamond. For a round cut, a 0.5 carat diamond averages 5.1mm in diameter.
The two best ways to make a diamond appear larger than its actual carat weight are with the diamond’s cut and setting. A thin, delicate setting will make the diamond seem larger in perspective. Featuring the diamond in a halo setting is another way to make a diamond appear larger.

.5 carat round diamond review

I was floored!
I love it. It is beautiful. I have large hands for a female, but because we purchased a high quality diamond, the .5 carats looks huge! I am one who prefers quality of quantity when it comes to fine jewelry. My sister noticed it without me saying anything because of the brilliance due to the cut. When I upgrade to a larger diamond it will definitely be with Blue Nile.

She stares at it constantly!
Not only was the whole online process easy, shipping and delivery ran smoothly too. As for her, she LOVES the ring! I agree with some other comments. The 360 view is really nice but in person it looks even better. My diamond was only .5 carats but it looks to be the perfect size for this ring. Not too big and not too small.
