Gold karats are units of measurement for assessing amount of gold versus amount of other metals in an object. Sometimes people spell this as carat, but that spelling is usually reserved for measuring precious and semi-precious stones instead. The term karat should also not be confused with the symbol ^, which is spelled caret.
