Carat and Karat are both popular measurements units in the world of Jewelry. Though they are pronounced alike, they mean different things and are used to measure different things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Karat is used when measuring the purity of gold on a scale of 1-24. It is usually denoted as "K".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carat is the actual weight of Precious stones and Pearls especially used in weighing diamonds. Unlike Karat which is on a scale of 24, A carat is one fifth of a gram and is divided into 100 points. If a diamond is 0.5 carat, then it is 50 pointer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The word carat gets its origin from "carob bean" which was used to measure Precious gemstones.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Carat became the legal standard for measuring gemstone in 1907 and it is often times denoted as "Ct".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Diamonds are mostly set in 18K gold as the gold needs to be hardened more to achieve the diamond’s secure setting more than a piece of gold jewelry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
