The weight of diamonds and other precious stones is expressed in carats, grains and quartergrains. The grains are pearl grains, one of which is equal to four-fifths of a troy grain. Four quarter-grains make one grain and four grains make one carat. A carat is therefore equal to fourfifths of four troy grains, or 3.2.

The fineness of gold is also expressed in carats. Pure gold is said to be twenty-four carats fine. If it contains eight parts of a baser metal or alloy it is only sixteen carats fine. The carats therefore indicate the proportion of pure gold to alloy. Most of the gold used by jewelers is about fourteen corats fine, having ten parts of alloy.
