Carats to Grams Converter
Convert carats to grams and back, instantly.
Convert gemstone mass accurately
Carats are used for diamonds and other gemstones, while grams are the broader metric mass unit. The metric carat has an exact definition of 200 milligrams, making the conversion stable and straightforward. Decimal input supports small stones and combined parcel weights without treating carat as a measure of size or quality.
With the default value, 5 carats converts to exactly 1 gram. In reverse, 1 gram returns exactly 5 carats. The reference table shows several carat amounts at a glance, and the calculator retains the same fixed relationship for fractional values such as a quarter-carat stone.
Local calculation for private valuations
Entered weights remain in your browser and are never sent to a jewelry or appraisal service. The tool converts mass only. It cannot estimate a gemstone price, visual dimensions, cut grade, or authenticity, all of which depend on information beyond the carat-to-gram relationship.
