Is that the same as 14K?
Kari
Answer: In answer to your CT same as K question
G'day Kari and many thanks for your query.
The simple answer is YES!
It depends what part of the world you come from. In Britain, Canada and most of the British Empire - like Australia and New Zealand, South Africa etc - they use the abbreviation ct for carat - as in 9 carat gold, or 9ct.
But there is much more to this simple answer...
In the States and Europe, together with South East Asia and China - they use karat, so their jewelry is marked as 14k or 14K or 14KT etc.
This was brought about in order to differentiate the word carat (for gold quality) and carat (for gemstone weights). Diamonds are always shown in carats and points. 100 points = 1 carat weight.
