How to Use this Diamond Size Comparison Generator
The tool is actually quite easy to use. You just need to choose a diamond carat weight from the dropdown list and add it to the chart for size comparison. With respect to removing any figure, you can achieve that under the ‘Remove’ tab.
Please note also you can modify the position of any figure on the chart by dragging.
It’s worth noting there is a maximum number of 5 figures that can be added to the chart along with the hand figure. Of course, you can always remove existing figures if you reach the limit and want to add new ones.
