thinking of purching peridot earring in white gold one pair is .60 carets total weight at 193.80. Item # J376976 the other is 146.96 1.10 total .Item # J344011 . Did I mis read? what am I missing. Shouldn't the higher total weight cost more?

Dont know what to do.

ALSO can anyone tell me how and why you are to make a responsible purchase of a gemstone when tryig to compair particulary earrings, and some are described in caret weight and others by millimeters? Also i think QVC should offer both weight and millimeters when it comes to smaller gems. Thanks for any help.

@SHELLY 29 I agree, since all gemstone varieties do not weigh the same. MM size should be a standard description.

The gold weight may dictate the value more than a gemstone that isn't rare like peridot.

Peridot comes in different grades.

The dimensions of any particular stone is helpful but the depth of a gem is often omitted. Depth can give a stone more or less saturation of color.

I notice that both item descriptions give the stone size in inches. So do the math if you want to convert to mm. I like to see the inches measurement and I convert to mm if I want to know that. Easy to find the info you need on google to convert from inches to mm.
