A 9 x 5.5 mm pear-shaped Cubic Zirconia is approximately equal in size to a 1 carat diamond and actually weighs over 1-3/4 carats.  A Cubic Zirconia is about 75% heavier than diamond.  As such, a CZ's size is referred to in carats only as in comparison to diamonds. CZs are more accurately measured in millimeters, referring to the diameter.
