In the United States, the practice of marking gold karats began in the late 19th century, with the introduction of standardized gold purity markings. The Gold Standard Act of 1900 further established a framework for gold purity and karat values, leading to more consistent labeling. By the early 20th century, it became common for jewelry manufacturers to mark their products with karat values to indicate the gold content accurately.
