About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
About Carats
A metric carat (ct or CD) is exactly 200 milligrams (0.2 g), the universal standard for weighing gemstones. Established internationally in 1907, it replaced fractionally different regional carat weights previously used in different countries. The total weight of a diamond or colored gemstone is always expressed in carats: a 1.00 ct diamond of excellent cut and color can command over $5,000. The Cullinan diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found, weighed 3,106.75 carats.
