carat is a weight measurement for gemstones, and karat (with a k) is a purity measure for gold.

A nine carat stone would be pretty large.

9kt gold is used in jewelry in Germany, England, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries. Gold is measured out of 24 parts (with 24kt being pure gold). 9kt is 9 out of 24 parts gold, or 37.5% gold. The rest is other alloys. 9kt jewelry can also be stamped 375 or 333.
