Carat weight is on the main reason that the price will be worth more. Diamonds, precious gems and Pearls are weighted in carats with one carat weighing about 200 mg, Carat come from the Italian carato, which has got an Arabic origin Qirat.
Just as one Pound (sterling) is divided into 100 pennies, a carat is divided into 100 points which means that a diamond of 50 points weighs 0.45 carats but two diamonds with the same weight might have different price for replacement.
In order to be able to compare two diamonds the 4Cs is a key factors, so in that case clarity, color and cut must be taken in consideration. Especially if the round diamond missing out, those points have to be respected.

The only exceptions are the fancy-color diamonds that lie outside of this range, such as fancy -yellow, blue, pink and green diamonds to name a few.
Emerald Cut diamond replacement (50 Facets Cut)
Cut fuels the diamond’s fire, sparkle and brillance. The Better the proportions of a diamond are the more Fire, Sparkle, Scintillation, and Brilliance it will have. That’s a key factor in term of quality diamond.
Ideal cut diamonds are rarer so obviously better quality. Ideal cut diamonds have a table which varies from 52 % and 57%.
Though extremely difficult to analyse, the cut of a diamond has three attributes: brightness ( light reflected from a diamond), fire (the dispersion of light into the colours of the spectrum) and scintillation (the light flashes or sparkle when a diamond moves).
