Diamonds, like all gemstones, are weighed in carats.
A spring scale measures forces, such as weight or tension.
I just read that you can weigh anything on it.
Weight. Actually, a spring balance measures the downward force form a mass under the local gravitational acceleration, e.g. any mass would weigh less on the moon (about one sixth of that on earth.)
A spring scale measures weight. It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale. A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant. However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.
Weight is the property measured by a spring scale. That is Mass X Acceleration.

A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of another.Mass is measured by physical balance.Weight is measured by a spring balance.
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
The most common ways to measure weight are: # a force meter, also called a "weight scale" or "weigh scale", where the weight being measured is used to compress a spring by a measurable amount, or # a balance, where the effect of gravity on one pan/arm is compared to an assemblage of known mass(es) on an opposing arm(s).

Usually the weight of a body is measured with a scale of some sort.
