What is carat?

Carat is the term used to describe the purity of gold and the weight of the diamond. Are you going to buy a gold piece of jewellery with a diamond? Completely pure gold is 24 carat and not strong enough for jewellery. Your jewellery must be a minimum of 14 carat to count as gold. A diamond’s carat is 0.2 grams.
