Exactly 2,267.96 carats equal 1 pound. This conversion is derived from the pound's definition of 453.59237 grams and the carat's definition of 200 milligrams.

In jewelry, this means a 1-pound gemstone shipment contains approximately 2,268 carats worth of gemstones, significantly impacting valuation and pricing.

Carats provide precision for small, valuable items. Gemstones are typically measured in fractions of carats (0.5 carat, 1.5 carats), allowing precise valuation. A pound is too large a unit—gemstones are rarely that heavy. The carat system originated from carob seeds' uniform weight and became standardized internationally. Using carats prevents confusion, enables consistent pricing across countries, and aligns with established gemological standards and certification systems.
