Ct is the abbreviation for Carat. In Australia, UK and other countries, carat can either measure gold purity or the weight of diamonds and other gemstones. Carat in gold refers to the purity of gold. Pure gold (24 carat) is too soft to be practical for most jewellery. Gold has properties that make it highly desirable for jewellery making but it is blended with other metals (called alloys) to enhance its durability, strength and colour. 18ct or 18kt is 18 parts pure gold out of 24, or 18/24. In other words, 18ct gold is 75% pure gold and can be stamped as 18ct/18kt or 750 (750 parts pure gold out of 1000). 750 = 18 carat gold. 9ct or 9kt, is 9 parts pure gold out of 24, or 9/24. Half of 18 is 9, therefore 9ct gold contains half the gold of 18ct. Half of 75% is 37.5% so 9ct gold can be stamped as either 9ct/9kt or 375. Diamonds can range in weight from a fraction of a carat to several carats. One carat equals 0.2 metric grams. A carat can be further divided into points. 1 carat equals 100 points. Therefore, a half carat equals 50 points, and a 25 pointer is a quarter carat. When considering diamonds of equal quality, the larger stone will have more value.
