A carat is a unit of weight for precious stones, which is equivalent to 200 milligrams. In terms of precious stones, they are described in ¼ increments.
In terms of gold, Karat (K) is the number of parts, by weight, of gold. The higher the percentage of pure gold, the higher the karat. For e.g., 14 karat gold is 58% gold, 18 karat gold is 75% gold and 24k gold is pure. Both gold and diamonds/emeralds/rubies/sapphires and some semi precious stones are measured in carats.
