This 1 carat Round has a face-up area of approx. 33.18 mm², which falls within the normal range for 1ct Rounds. A face-up area is the area of the girdle plane and tells you how big the stone looks when viewed from the top (as set in a ring). Face-up size of this diamond is as you would expect of a 1ct Round.
Here you can see how big 1 carat diamond (6.5×6.5×3.92mm) actually is and how it would appear on a ring and finger. Adjust the ring and finger size to get an idea of how it would look on your finger.
Round brilliants are very good at masking inclusions and color, which means you can go quite low in terms of clarity and color grades without sacrificing the appearance. Cut, on the other hand, which determines the fire and brilliance should always be of the highest possible grade (Excellent for GIA or Ideal for AGS).
It depends. The value of a diamond is determined by a combination of its unique characteristics - the famous 4Cs (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat). It can get complicated, but you can quickly check the price range for Round diamonds of around 1 carats.
