What is a carat? we have a tendency to already recognize it’s a live of weight, not size, however it’s conjointly a word with a desirable history. Carat springs from carob, the bean that’s usually used as a chocolate substitute. Carob trees grow within the Mediterranean region, and in precedent days a diamond of 1 carat, or carob, was equal in weight to one bean, or seed, of the algarroba. within the region, rice was used — four grains equaled one locust bean.
Eventually the carat was standardized at two hundred milligrams (1/5 of a gram), and also the grain was standardized at fifty milligrams. generally you'll hear a diamond dealer consult with a one-carat diamond as a four-grainer. Diamond weights are brought up in points. One carat equals one hundred points, thus a 75-point diamond would weigh 3/4 of 1 carat. (It’s not a diamond with seventy five points on that, as some individuals think!)
