Measuring Gemstones?
I was curious about measuring gemstones, like amethyst. I know all about diamonds, and their deal, like with what you could consider a large diamond. But I know nothing about gemstones! My husband bought me a 8mm amethyst pendant for our 1 year anniversary, and I was wondering if that is big for a gemstone, because when we picked out the necklace it looked huge to me lol, but I was thinking that may be because I am use to diamonds. Can anyone explain more about this to me, and tell me if 8mm is big, little or normal?
Hi Sammie,
8mm is approximately 1 1/2 – 2 carats. Gemstones and diamonds measure the same. It the girdle is not deep (the depth of the stone) then it will be the smaller size. Hope this helps! 
A large size gemstone will be like a 14mm size…that’s big!
