How much is a point of a diamond worth?

Dear edcula - it seems to me that you have a calculation error. According to your logic, if a 1 carat diamond is worth $1,000 then 1 point should be $10 rather than $100.
It seems to me that your inappropriate language is causing you to make simple calculation errors.
Perhaps you should focus on English rather than math and diamonds which seems to be over your head.See here GIA diamonds for less than $299! http://www.zoara.com/diamonds#shape

think about it you so called experts...if you pay $1,000.00 for a one carat stone then you have paid $100.00 for one point....now! what the hell make the point worth $100.00? the simple fact that people keep coming up with this cut and clarity shit simply means they are full of shit...a stone is a dam stone and price should be calculated by weight and weight alone once it has been evauated and determined it is a natural stone...fuck the rest of that bullshit.

Since 1 diamond carat is equal to 100 points, then 1 point is equal to .01 carats. Because the price of diamonds is not steady and is subject to changes related to supply and demand, and because other factors including cut, clarity, and color affect the price of every loose diamond sold on the market, there is simply no way for me to accurately calculate the worth of a single diamond point.

I am not aware of any method of calculating the worth of one diamond point with any precision. There are simply too many variables that come into play in this situation. Initially, the prices of diamonds tend to vary in accordance with the supply and demand at a particular moment in time in the diamond market. The remainder of the 4C's (color, clarity, and cut) also hold an important point in the pricing of diamonds. Nonetheless, one thing's for sure - any change in a diamond's carat weight is sure to raise the price of the diamond.You can find more information at http://www.zoara.com/diamonds#guide

I'm sorry, but I don't think there's a way to evaluate one diamond carat point. A point can be worth a lot though, but its value depends a lot on a diamond's size. In different diamond size ranges every carat and thus every point has a different value. Generally speaking, the bigger the diamond the more money a point is worth, but there are also distinct ranges which most of the diamond industry uses, for example 0-0.49 carat, 0.5-0.99 carat, 1-1.49 carat, 1.5-1.99 carat, etc. Within a range the value per carat point is the same, but in a higher size range the value per point is significantly higher. Moreover, think about a point which could "upgrade" a diamond from one size range to an upper one. For example, if you "add" a carat point to a 99 points (0.99 carat) diamond, then it becomes a 1 carat diamond, which is much more valuable, much more demanded and expensive. So, what I want to say is that there's no way to measure the value of a carat point, but in some distinct situations such a point could have a value disproportional to its small size.

I haven't heard of any system to calculate the monetary value of a diamond point. Indeed, every slight change in the size of a diamond has a big effect on its price. A 3 carat diamond will always cost much more than three 1 carat diamonds, hence every point affects the diamond's price significantly. I even checked online on Zoara.com, where I usually get all of my diamond and jewelry info and there’s nothing on evaluating a one point carat diamond. They’re just too small!
