The metric carat (ct) is the unit of mass used worldwide for gemstones and pearls, equal to exactly 200 milligrams (0.2 g). It is distinct from "karat" (K), the measure of gold purity (24K = 100% gold). A 1-carat diamond weighs exactly 0.2 g; the famous 45.52-carat Hope Diamond weighs approximately 9.1 g.
The tola is a traditional unit of mass used across the Indian subcontinent for precious metals and spices. One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams (internationally standardised). In the Indian system: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. It remains the standard gold-trading unit quoted by jewellers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and across Gulf markets that serve South Asian buyers.
The word "carat" derives from Greek keration (κεράτιον), meaning carob pod. Carob seeds were believed to have remarkably uniform weight and were used as counterweights for balancing precious stones. The carat value varied across countries (0.187–0.216 g) until the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures standardised the metric carat at exactly 200 mg in 1907. Most countries adopted the metric carat between 1914 and 1930.
Interesting fact: The largest gem-quality diamond ever found, the Cullinan Diamond (1905), weighed 3,106.75 carats (621.35 g) before being cut into 9 major and 96 minor stones, two of which are in the British Crown Jewels.
The tola derives from Sanskrit tola, from tul (to weigh, to balance). It was the official precious-metal unit under British India, defined as the mass of the silver rupee coin (~11.66 g). Indian rupees were minted to exactly 1 tola weight. After independence, India officially adopted the metric system in 1956 for gold trading, but the tola survived in the market. The UAE, a major gold trading hub, still quotes prices per tola.
Interesting fact: India is one of the world's largest gold consumers. A tola bar of 24-karat gold (≈11.66 g, worth ~$700 at 2024 gold prices) is one of the most popular physical gold investment formats in South Asia.
