Carat to ratti converter

 At Shivraj Gemstone, we understand that gemstone buyers—especially in India—often come across the term “Ratti” while selecting a gemstone. This traditional unit of measurement can be confusing when compared with the modern “Carat”, so we’ve created a clear guide to help you understand both.

Ratti is a traditional Indian unit for measuring mass, derived from the Sanskrit word “Raktika”, as referenced in classical Ayurvedic and ancient Indian literature. It has been used for centuries to weigh small but precious items—especially gemstones.
