Carats are also broken down into a simple system of points.

• 100 points would be the equivalent of 1.00ct or a 1 carat diamond.

• 125 points = 1.25ct or 1¼ct

• 150 points = 1.50ct or 1½ct

This is pretty simple to understand but as you proceed you’ll understand why it is important to know the "exact" weight.
