A one carat diamond will be less than a centimeter and will likely be measured in millimeters instead. A one carat diamond will usually be between 3 and 4mm for a typical round cut stone.

it can vary by a large margin, carat is weight and its size can be finite by the number of atoms connected side by side but an average size is hard to say without knowing the proper style.
"Carat is the unit of measurement used to describe the weight of diamonds. One carat is equal to 0.2 gram, or 0.007 ounces (avoirdupois). Five carats equals 1 gram, and 141.7 carats equals 1 ounce. 1 carat total weight may be 0.95 to 1.10 carats As diamond carat size increases, both the diameter and the depth of the diamond increase.
This is why a 1 carat diamond (approximate 6.5mm diameter) does not look twice as wide as a 1/2 carat diamond (approximate 5mm diameter)."

what shape? probably less than 1 any way you cut it... but i'd guess a round one is probably about 0.65 centimeter in diameter.
