The Term “Karat” On Gems and Gold
| June 10, 2010 | Posted by admin under Jewelry Stuff |
The term carat is used as a gemstone unit mass or as a measure of gold purity. In the United States and Canada the term is spelled differently, each Carat and rust – to avoid confusion. In this article, we also distinguish the writing of “Carat” for gemstones and “rust” to measure the purity of gold, with the same readings, the carats.
Carat The term comes from the Greek “keration”, a fruit called carob. Carob seeds were used for precision weighing gemstones, assuming that carob seeds have a uniform weight. Currently Carat for gemstone known as a metric Carat, adopted in 1907, which is defined as the weight of 200 mg. When compared with carob seed mass, size Carat metric is very close to the mass of a rather large grain carob.
If we weigh the diamond weight, diamond weight is not to say 1 gram but weight is a 5-carat diamond, so that other rubies weighing 17.8 carats, 7-carat sapphire stone, and so forth.
Interestingly, the term carat is derived from the name of the carob seed. So how to get the purity of gold by weight of the carob bean? And why the pure gold is defined as “24 carat”? The appropriate response is not easily given, but the explanation that comes closest to the truth is that the Roman Emperor Constantine introduced a gold coin that weighs exactly 24 pieces of carob seed.
At the present, modern system for purity karat gold, pure gold is 24 karat or 24k, 18k is 75% pure and 12k gold is 50% pure. This system gradually gave way to the purity system thousandth (millesimal), the purity of gold in a thousand parts alloy (alloy). So with this system is characterized as a 22k gold 91.6% gold, or 916 parts per thousand of gold alloys (alloy). More modest and not confuse the method.
In Thailand, like in most Asian countries, gold is very important as a medium of exchange and a store of wealth. Thai people are still using the traditional measure weight to gold, the “baht.” This term can be a bit confusing for foreigners, because the Thai currency called baht. One baht of gold equal to 15.2 grams, slightly less than one-half troy ounce (16.2 grams).
Fortunately, for the gemstone industry, almost all over the world have used the standard weight measurement Carat as gemstones. But sometimes there is also demand for precious stones in other units, such Ratti (measurement India) where 1 Ratti standard was 182 mg. But the main confusion is that the diamond sellers buyers who are inexperienced will think that Carat is a measurement of size.
Gemstone which is very diverse species will be very different in terms of density or weight style. Different pieces of stone will also affect how big gemstone will look when viewed from above. Therefore, always check the dimensions of gemstones when you buy a gemstone, not only depend entirely on the Carat weight alone.
