The Triangular Brilliant Diamond Weight calculator computes the approximate carat weight of a triangular brilliant /attachments/e6ccf87b-da27-11e2-8e97-bc764e04d25f/DiamondTriangularBrilliant-illustration.pngTriangular Brilliantshaped diamond based on the vertical and horizontal widths, and the depth. Furthermore, the user must enter a thickness factor for the diamond's girdle ranging from: Slightly Thick,Thick,Very Thick, to Extremely Thick. This is used to calculate the weight correction factor.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (L) Vertical Length:  This is one measurement across the face of the Triangular Brilliant diamond.
  • (W) Horizontal Width: This is a perpendicular measurement from the vertical length.
  • (D) Depth:  This is the depth of the diamond.
  • (GT) Girdle Thickness Factor:  This is a factor of the girdle  (middle) of the diamond.  Uses the pull-down menu to select the appropriate girdle factor.

Triangular Brilliant Diamond Carat Weight (wt): The calculator returns weight of the diamond in carats.  However, this can be automatically converted to other weight units (e.g. grams) via the pull-down menu.


Diamond Carat Weight Calculator

This jewelers suite of calculators includes carat weight estimations of diamonds based on the cut diamonds shape and size that can be measured while still within a setting. This enables the jeweler to estimate the carat weigh of the diamond without damaging the setting. Common diamond cuts

The diamond weight formulas contain carat weight equations that are specific to diamonds and diamond cuts:


ACCURACY COMPARISON

The carat weight equations and data used in vCalc's jewelry library and calculator were reviewed by a certified gemologist.   The equations are based on industry recognized formulas and data.  The table below shows a comparison of computations between vCalc and an industry accepted application (Quantum Leap).

The length, width and depth are in millimeters (mm), and the Quantum Leap and vCalc measurements are in carats (cwt).

Carat weight calculation comparison

The largest variance, an oval faceted alexandrite, which can be seen in the last row above, has been double checked against several source equations which tend to support vCalc's accuracy.
