Carat is a measurement of weight. It it used to weight diamonds and gemstones. (Example: 1.00 carat diamond)

The word Karat is used to measure the amount of pure gold found in a gold/alloy metal such as that used in jewelry. (Example: 14 Karat means the item is 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts other metals) Pure gold is always 24 Karat.
