TWC Total Weight of Carats Peso totale/complessivo in carati Explanation: When a jeweler says "the center stone is...", he/she means the weight of that one stone. When he/she mentions TCW (total carat weight), CWT (carat weight total), TWC (total weight of carats) he/she means that all of the stones are a certain weight. A one carat stone is worth more than lots of little stones totalling the same weight. http://www.bridemalta.com/informationDetails.asp?secid=27&id... http://www.minerali.it/articolo-scientifico/Diamanti-le-4C-/... |
