When taking measurements we always refer to a specific unit of measurement.<\/p>\n

To measure distances we have metres, to weigh objects we use kilograms, and so on. We have a special unit for measuring diamond weight: carats.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"unit<\/a>

1-carat diamonds and carob pods<\/p><\/div>\n

The historical origin of the carat may not seem very noble, especially compared to other units of measurement in the International System. That’s because the word \u2018carat\u2019 derives from carob seeds!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What makes these vegetable seeds special\u00a0is that they always\u00a0have the same weight, equal to about 0.2 grams.<\/p>\n

In ancient times weighing something with a scale and seeds was the simplest way.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the carat, a term with Arabic and Greek origins, referred to the seed as a true unit of measurement.<\/p>\n

Diamonds are still weighed in\u00a0carats, with one carat corresponding to 200 milligrams.<\/p>\n

Carats\u00a0can also be broken down\u00a0into points<\/strong> \u2013 100 per carat to be precise. So we often find diamond weights expressed\u00a0both in carats and in points.<\/p>\n

Speaking in terms of a diamond’s\u00a0value, price is not directly proportional to weight in carats, but takes on an exponential value, since finding a large diamond in nature is incredibly rare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is also why women are happy to wear rings with\u00a0ethical diamonds<\/a>, which are that much\u00a0rarer!<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0carats are sometimes classified as a noble unit of measurement because carats also\u00a0indicate the purity of\u00a0gold alloys<\/a>, in particular to indicate how much of the alloy used in the jewellery is in fact made of the noble metal.<\/p>\n

So you could say gold and diamonds go hand in hand, perhaps even on an engagement ring.<\/p>\n

Want to give your girlfriend a beautiful ring\u00a0she’ll love?<\/p>\n
