Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common mistakes in gold weight calculations:
- Karat vs Carat: Karat (K) measures gold purity (24K = 99.9%); Carat (ct) measures gemstone weight (1 ct = 0.2 grams).
- Rounding the Tola: 1 tola is 11.6638 grams exactly. Rounding to 11.6 g creates cumulative pricing errors. Verify via our tola to grams converter.
- Unverified Jeweller Weights: Always request a BIS HUID-hallmarked certificate specifying net weight in grams. Check gold converters.
