Most people think “carat” and “karat” mean the same thing… but they’re completely different. 💎✨
🔹 Carat (ct) measures the WEIGHT of gemstones like diamonds.
1 carat = 0.2 grams.
🔸 Karat (K) measures the PURITY of gold.
24K is pure gold, while lower karats contain mixed metals for durability.
So:
💎 Bigger diamond? → Carat
🥇 Purer gold? → Karat
One letter changes everything.
