1 stone (st) equals exactly 31751.45 carats (ct). Use the formula: st × 31751.45 = ct.
To convert stone to carats, multiply your value in stone by 31751.45. For example, 5 st × 31751.45 = 158757.25 ct.
100 stone = 3,175,145 carats. Calculation: 100 × 31751.45 = 3,175,145.
To convert carats back to stone, divide by 31751.45 (or multiply by 3.1495e-05). Example: 10 ct ÷ 31751.45 = 0.00031495 st.
Yes. This converter uses the internationally recognised exact conversion factor: 1 st = 31751.45 ct. All calculations are performed in your browser with no rounding until display.
10 stone = 317514.5 carats. Simply multiply by 31751.45.
Converting stone to carats is commonly needed for jewellery valuation, gemstone trading, precious metal buying and selling, and hallmarking compliance where one system uses st and another uses ct.
The stone (st) is a British imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds or 6.35029318 kilograms. Used almost exclusively in the United Kingdom and Ireland for human body weight, it has no role in scientific, commercial, or international contexts. The stone is not an SI unit and was removed from official UK trade measurement in 1985, though it remains deeply embedded in everyday British culture.
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.
One of the oldest English weight units, the stone was referenced as early as the 13th century. Historically its value varied by commodity (8 lb for meat, 12 lb for hemp, 14 lb for wool, 16 lb for glass). King Edward III standardised the wool stone at 14 pounds in 1350, which became the universal English standard. The Weights and Measures Act 1835 formally defined the stone as 14 lb. EU harmonisation abolished the stone for trade in 1985.
Interesting fact: The world record heaviest person weighed 635 kg — exactly 100 stone, illustrating how the stone unit provides digestible reference points for large body weights. British people typically express their weight as, for example, "11 stone 4 pounds."
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.
