Different diamond cuts have different dimensions, and other factors—such as the diamond’s cut quality and depth—can influence its size. A 1.5 carat round diamond measures approximately 7.3mm in diameter, and is an ideal size for an eye-catching yet classic engagement ring.
Carat weight is one factor that impacts the look of a diamond, with a 1.5 carat diamond ring offering a considerable statement look. You can find rings with a 1.5 carat solitaire (single) diamond; or you might opt for a cluster, halo, or pave band design equalling 1.5 carats total weight of diamonds.
Shape will influence the overall aesthetic of your diamond. A round 1.5 carat solitaire diamond ring will always have a timeless quality, while a 1.5 carat oval diamond ring—while only slightly differing in shape—offers a more modern approach.
Your diamond's cut quality, colour and clarity grades all factor into its overall appearance and contribute to maximising its sparkle.
