Carats is used especially for gold (as an equivalent of gold percentage).
The purity of gold is measured in carats. Carats are also used to measure the weight of precious stones, including diamonds. These are two quite different measurements, and two quite different uses of the same word.
The purity of a diamond is measured in carats, which refers to its weight. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. This measurement does not represent the quality or clarity of the diamond, but rather its size.
No, platinum jewelry is not measured in karats. The purity of platinum jewelry is measured in percentages, such as 950 parts per thousand being considered as 95% pure platinum. Karats are typically used to measure the purity of gold.
Silver purity is typically measured in terms of fineness, not carats like gold. The most common levels of silver purity are sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) and fine silver (99.9% pure silver). Other levels of purity may exist based on specific manufacturing needs or regional standards.
Platinum purity is measured in terms of fineness, which is expressed as a percentage. A common method is to use an XRF (X-ray fluorescence) machine to determine the elemental composition of the platinum sample. Another method is fire assay, where the sample is melted and the purity is determined by measuring the amount of precious metal content.
Gold is a soft valuable metal whose purity is measured in carats.

The purity of gold is measured in "Carats"The size of diamonds is measured in "Carats", use of the measurefor other gems is common but incorrect (just marketing).
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats (1 carat = 0.2 grams; it is a measure of weight). The purity of a gold setting is measured in karats (24 karat = pure gold, 18 karat = 75% gold)
Carat is an indicator of weight; karat is an indicator of purity. Diamonds are measured in carats; gold is measured in karats. So, how big is a karat of gold? It can be as small as a molecule. There is no limit to how large a karat (purity) of gold can be.
Silver purity is typically measured in terms of fineness, not carats like gold. The most common levels of silver purity are sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) and fine silver (99.9% pure silver). Other levels of purity may exist based on specific manufacturing needs or regional standards.

It seems like there might be a typo. Gold is typically measured in carats, not carrots. Carats represent the purity of gold, with 24 carats being the purest form. If you meant 18 carat gold, it is 75% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength and durability.
Platinum purity is measured in terms of fineness, which is expressed as a percentage. A common method is to use an XRF (X-ray fluorescence) machine to determine the elemental composition of the platinum sample. Another method is fire assay, where the sample is melted and the purity is determined by measuring the amount of precious metal content.
