Karat measurements are used for gold, and are not related to diamonds. Karat purity indicates the parts of 24 -- pure gold is 24 karat -- that are gold. Nine, 10, 14 and 18 are common karat purity measurements.

Diamonds and pearls are weighed using carats -- one gram equals five carats. Every carat is pure diamond.
