Carat (ct.) is simply the weight of the diamond measured in carats. A carat is 0.2 gram. A diamond's worth goes up almost exponentially with its weight.
The weight and size of a diamond is measured in carats. One carat is divided into 100 "points" so that a diamond of 25 points is described as quarter of a carat or 0.25 carats. The larger the diamond (and therefore the rarer) the more expensive per carat it will be. For example, a 1 ct diamond costs much more than two 1/2ct diamonds combined.
Do not confuse carat with karat. Carat refers to stone weight while karat refers to fineness of gold.
