Random information on the term “KARAT”:
The carat (ct) (not to be confused with the karat, sometimes spelled carat, a unit of purity of gold alloys), is a unit of mass equal to 200 mg (0.2 g; 0.007055 oz) and is used for measuring gemstones and pearls.The current definition, sometimes known as the metric carat, was adopted in 1907 at the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures,[1] and soon afterwards in many countries around the world.[i] The carat is divisible into one hundred points of two milligrams each. Other subdivisions, and slightly different mass values, have been used in the past in different locations.
In terms of diamonds, a paragon is a flawless stone of at least 100 carats (20 g).[2]
The ANSI X.12 EDI standard abbreviation for the carat is CD.[3]
First attested in English in the mid-15th century, the word carat comes from Italian carato, which comes from Arabic qīrāṭ قيراط, in turn borrowed from Greek kerátion κεράτιον ‘carob seed’,[4][5][6] a diminutive of keras ‘horn’.[7] It was a unit of weight,[8] though unlikely to have been used to measure gold in classical times.[4]
