Cracking the Code: How to Measure a Diamond in Crossword Puzzles

As a detective trying to solve the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Diamond measurement’, my thought process would have been guided by an understanding of diamond measurements and the terminology used in the diamond industry. I would have started with the obvious measurements such as carat, cut, clarity, and color, but realizing that none of them fit the answer to the crossword, my insights and reasoning skills would have led me to think outside the box. I would have realized that diamond measurements are not limited to physical attributes alone but could also include the measurement of the diamond’s surface area. Then, I would also remember that the term ‘carat’ is not only used in the context of diamond measurements, but also in other contexts like gold, silver, and gemstones, which eliminated it from the potential answers. Thus, my analysis and thought process eventually led me to the correct answer ‘AREA’, which is a suitable measurement of a diamond.
