murulidhara Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Thank u very much for guiding. I will learn more about searching the web. In the web site mentioned it is told that highest quality of whit gold should be of atleast 17 Karat. Some questions about Karat. Is karat a unit of purity? How it is defined? We know that pure gold is of 24 karat? Diomond is also measured in terms of Karat. Are both of them same (units)? Some instruments called Karatometer is available in the market. Can we use the same instrument to measure purity of different items ( gold and white gold) in terms of karat? Thanks Murulidhara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsitsface Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 again best use Wikipedia, it is useful for this kind of questions. In the "White gold" article karat was not linked to its article, but if you would simply type the word into the search field you would have gotten the links for Carat (purity) for gold and Carat (mass) for diamonds. Read more about WP here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 "Karat" is used to define the purity of gold alloys. One Karat is one part in 24 of gold. So therefore, 24 karat gold is pure gold. Diamond weights are measured in "Carats" which are COMPLETELY different from the "Karats" in gold. Not even remotely close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
