CTTW stands for carat (CT) and total weight (TW). In a piece of jewelry that has more than one diamond, it's the weight of all the diamonds, added together.

Jared's lab-created diamonds are graded to the same standards as our natural diamonds. That means your lab-created diamond will be accompanied by an independent laboratory report detailing its “4 Cs” - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.

The Importance of Differentiating Between CW and TW A diamond ring marked 2 carats TW is not actually a ring with a 2-carat stone, but rather, one with several diamonds that make up 2 carats in total. On the flip side, a diamond ring labeled as 2 carats CW is actually a ring with a 2-carat diamond.

Total weight Total weight (abbreviated as tw) refers to the total carat weight of a ring.

CTTW only covers the total weight of diamonds in a jewelry piece. If you're looking at an engagement ring with emeralds and diamonds, the CTTW does not include the emeralds. It's important to note that companies that use lab-created diamonds still use CTTW, so it's not always a measure of exclusively natural diamonds.

When it comes to diamond rings, many people assume that bigger automatically means better. But that's not always true. Opting for a 1 carat diamond ring is often the best choice for most couples - both in price and practicality. Even better: It's a classic, timeless style that'll never go out of fashion.

All Jared loose diamonds are certified by 3rd party laboratories, such as GIA and GSI .

moissanite Hands down, moissanite is the number one alternative when it comes to the best fake diamonds for a number of reasons. First of all, moissanite has a hardness that rivals an actual diamond.

The way that diamonds reflect light is unique: the inside of a real diamond should sparkle gray and white while the outside should reflect a rainbow of colors onto other surfaces. A fake diamond, on the other hand, will have rainbow colors that you can see inside the diamond as well.

Top Wesselton (TW) The Top Wesselton (TW) grade is awarded to especially white diamonds and ranks in the top on the International GIA scale (F-G), the only colour category above is river. Those diamonds are mainly found in rivers instead of mines. VS - Almost flawless.

One of these commonly used descriptive terms is “tw,” a condensed form of “total weight.” Specifically, total weight is a term that references the combined carat weight of a particular gemstone type featured in any jewelry item.

The abbreviation "tw" stands for Top Wesselton and evaluates the color of the diamond. Diamonds with Top Wesselton are assigned the letter F or G in diamond science and are almost colorless. The abbreviation "Si" stands for Small Inclusions. As an expert, small inclusions can be seen here under 10x magnification.

The average price of a 1 carat diamond is currently $4,082 (see price chart below). 1 carat diamonds can cost anywhere from $1,400 - $9,446 depending on the diamond's shape, color, clarity, and other factors.
