Let’s start with carat with a “c.” A carat (abbreviation ct.) is a weight measurement for precious gemstones, especially diamonds. Many people think the carat refers to the size of the gemstones. That is not complete the case. The carat is a measurement of weight or mass. So, it makes sense that a larger stone would weigh more, thus having more carats. While the weight does affect the size of the gemstones, the carat, along with the purity of the gemstone is what determines the price of the precious stones.

The carat became legal standard for gold on April 1, 1914.

For those who like numbers, a carat is a unit of weight for precious stones, equaling 200 milligrams. To put this in perspective, to have one pound you would need 453 grams, or 453,000 milligrams. Another example is that a person weighs 170 pounds would weigh 385,050-carats.

The “other” karat with a “k”, is used to measure the purity of gold. Gold itself is very soft, and like silver, it needs to be alloyed (combined) with another metal or metals to make it stronger and consequently less expensive.

The term karat comes from the old German gold coin used about one thousand years ago. It was called a mark, and it 24 carats. So the purity of the gold used in this foreign currency many years ago. The abbreviation for karat is kt.
