If you read any of the captions, you might wonder what a carat is. Gemstones are measured in carats (not carrot). 142 carats is equal to one ounce. The old carat measurement was slightly more than the new carat. When I say old, I mean several hundred years ago...
Gold is measured in karats. For instance, 24 K gold means that 24 of the 24 parts of the metal are gold. 18 K means that 18 parts of the 24 are gold.

Dear Sir, are you suggesting the Mr. Bunny would not eat a diamond, and if he did he would get no nutrition from it?
I am offended by this suggestion.
