1.5 Carat Diamonds in Lebanon
A 1.5 carat diamond is a clear visual step up from the popular one-carat, yet it carries a smart advantage that many buyers miss. By sitting just under the round one-and-a-half-carat mark, you keep almost all of the size while spending noticeably less. It is the weight where presence and value meet, and where a fine cut turns a big stone into a brilliant one.

What 1.5 carats looks like on the hand
A well-cut round 1.5 carat measures about 7.3 to 7.4 mm across the top. On the hand that is a confident, eye-catching spread that fills a finger far more than its half-carat increase over a one-carat would suggest. The jump in diameter is what the eye actually notices, so a 1.5 reads as a genuinely larger stone rather than a slightly heavier one. To set your expectations, look at how a carat looks on the hand and compare it with a 1 carat diamond.
What drives the price at this weight
As the stone grows, every grade carries more weight in both beauty and cost. We price against the Rapaport benchmark, and the priorities run in this order:
- Cut first: at 1.5 carats poor proportions show plainly, while an excellent cut makes the whole stone come alive.
- Colour next: more visible at this spread, so a well-chosen near-colourless grade keeps the stone facing up white.
- Clarity after that: larger facets give inclusions more room to show, so eye-clean becomes more important than it was at half a carat.
- Fluorescence last: still a secondary factor, though it can swing the value of an otherwise identical stone.
A buying tip for 1.5 carat diamonds
This is the weight where buying just under the round number pays off. A stone a hair below 1.5 carats looks all but identical on the hand, because the diameter barely changes, yet it sits below the price step that the round weight commands at the Rapaport benchmark. Diamonds are valued in tiers, and the jump at each round weight is sharper than the tiny loss of spread it represents, so a stone just shy of the mark is one of the smartest buys in the market. Use that saving to lift the cut grade rather than the carat figure, because brilliance is what people notice long before they ever ask the weight. A beautifully cut, eye-clean stone at this spread is the sweet spot. Read the 4Cs so you can read your report with confidence before you commit.

Common questions about 1.5 carat diamonds
How much does a 1.5 carat diamond cost in Lebanon?
It depends on cut first, then colour, clarity, fluorescence and shape, and on whether the stone reaches the full 1.50 carat mark, so two 1.5 carat diamonds can be priced far apart. Rather than quote a figure that dates quickly, the grid at the top of this page lists today’s certified stones with their real prices, and diamond prices compares every weight.
Which clarity do I need for a 1.5 carat diamond?
Aim for eye-clean rather than a particular letter. At this size many VS2 stones are clean to the naked eye, and some SI1 stones are too when their inclusions sit near the edge, but every SI1 should be checked on the 360° video first. Paying for VVS clarity buys nothing you can see, as our guide to eye-clean diamonds explains.
Is G or H colour white enough at 1.5 carats?
Usually, yes. In a round brilliant set in white gold or platinum, both G and H normally face up white. Fancy shapes show colour a little more at their ends, so for an oval or pear many buyers stay at G or whiter. In yellow or rose gold, I or J looks natural. Our G vs H colour guide compares the two grades.
Should I choose a 1.5 carat round or a fancy shape?
A 1.5 carat round, about 7.3 to 7.4 mm across, gives the most sparkle. An oval or pear of the same weight looks larger because its outline is longer, and usually costs less per carat, while a cushion looks softer and a little smaller. If size on the hand matters most, compare our oval cut diamonds with the rounds in stock.
