How to Convert Carats to Grams
Carats are the standard unit for measuring gemstone weight. One carat equals exactly 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams.
To convert carats to grams, multiply the carat value by 0.2. For example, 5 carats x 0.2 = 1 gram. This conversion is essential in the jewelry and gemstone industry for understanding the weight of diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and other precious stones.
The carat weight is a major factor in determining a gemstone's value, along with cut, clarity, and color.
