Diamond Factor Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Diamond Factor (DF) is:

\[ \text{DF} = \frac{\text{C} \times \text{W} \times \text{Q}}{100} \]

Where:

$\text{DF}$ is the diamond factor
$\text{C}$ is the carat weight of the diamond
$\text{W}$ is the wholesale price per carat ($)
$\text{Q}$ is the quality factor of the diamond (on a scale of 1 to 10)

What is a Diamond Factor?

A Diamond Factor is a term used in the diamond industry to refer to the main characteristics that determine the value of a diamond. These characteristics, also known as the “Four Cs,” include carat (weight), cut, color, and clarity. Each of these factors significantly impacts the overall quality, appearance, and price of a diamond.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Carat Weight (C) = 1.5
Wholesale Price per Carat (W) = $2000
Quality Factor (Q) = 8

Using the formula:

\[ \text{DF} = \frac{1.5 \times 2000 \times 8}{100} = 240 \]

The Diamond Factor (DF) is 240.
